[QUOTE="ayase, post: 461919, member: 183"] Well, episode 7 of [B][I]Twin Peaks[/I][/B] season 3 down. That was the most straightforward so far, interesting they started with the very Lynchian stuff and have gradually eased into a more traditional TV show format. I wonder if that was intentional as well, a way to weed out the weak ADD modern audience members? I also rewatched the [B][I]Fire Walk With Me[/I][/B] film yesterday, which proved to be quite prescient with [inlinespoiler]the relevance of the missing diary pages dictated to Laura by Annie in this episode[/inlinespoiler] and perhaps gives the film a [I]little[/I] more reason to exist in my mind. Showtime is on a roll with getting me to watch TV programmes it seems (shame I can't actually give them viewing figures) as I also watched episode 1 of [B][I]The Putin Interviews[/I][/B]. While I can already hear the criticism (probably delivered in a shrill tone by a Fox News pundit) of Stone's laid back and not particularly tough interview style and accusations of anti-Americanism on his part for some of his comments and questions, the intention seems to be to just let Putin talk and explain himself rather than subjecting him to any Jeremy Paxman shenanigans. In that it's succeeding quite admirably, giving us a look into the mind of Putin the man rather than the caricature or Emmanuel Goldstein he usually appears as in the western media. [/QUOTE]
