    Twin Peaks without the romanticisation of town life. Crispin Glover was acting in a parody of the otherwise (sort of) straight movie he was in, and it was glorious.

    Better than the first, though that was needed to lay the groundwork. Just as visually impressive, at times more so (as always, I loved the epic grotesquerie of the Harkonnens).
