    I just want to give David Lynch a hug, what a man and what a mastermind. One of the greatest shows I’ve ever watched, up there with The Sopranos and Breaking Bad for me. Kyle Maclachlan was born to play the role of Dale Cooper, he was so good. Found myself saying “how good is Kyle Maclachlan” about 3 times an episode. David Lynch’s cameos as Gordon Cole (nice Sunset Boulevard reference) had me cracking up and were the highlights…

    Julianne Moore joins a cult. I was intrigued to see where this went with the ending and I just found myself being slightly disappointed. I would have liked Todd Haynes to be more daring in the 2nd half of the film, the film just seemed to slowly go out on a whimper. Still worth a watch due to the brilliance of Julianne Moore, the impressive direction of Todd Haynes, and a very intriguing first 2 acts.

    I know this is a weird film to say this but I wish I looked like Jeff Goldblum.
