But there is still a lot to admire in TP. the stately pace, which is a real culture shock in today's hurried marketplace, unfolding the story as in a novel really... I can really make a case for Lynch as magician, using misdirection skillfully to eke out the initial storyline to 17 episodes, but i still feel that the 1st series as a piece of art works better than the second, which is more like the documentary dvd you sometimes get with reissued "classic" albums, explaining away any sense of mystique with mere words and gestures. "....here comes Bob eager for fun... he wears a smile everybody run" Still the greatest ending as well, looking forward to it soon!!

Also watched RAPT on sunday BBC4. decent enough french thriller about a kidnapping and its effects on family, work etc. not as good as Tell No One, but then what is??? with this season, im hoping that Carlos The Jackal will finally get a UK airing!! aaand i watched Ice Pirates. Mary Crosby, Ron Perlman and Robert Urich "hamp" it up in this mish mash that isn't as much fun as Conquest, or as sexy as Yor. For undemanding types who think that the Goonies is "exciting", cough cough.

Looks superb in HD too. It's a classic that I missed when I was young so was happy to finally see it and love it as if I was a kid again.

Oh, I dont HATE HtD. It's just............dull. Really, really dull. And considering how mental and querky the source material is, it's a bit of a joke to be honest.

Had a bit of a film drought at the minute as been busy but found time to watch both Repo Man and Melancholia the other day. Thought both were great, really have the urge to watch the former again quite soon actually (perhaps the censored tv version). Thought Melancholia was brilliant although perhaps not as good as it could have been (the idea was still slightly better than the execution). Wasn't entirely what I expected either - for some reason I thought the whole film was going to be set during the reception. The jump cuts and constant zooming in the first half really annoyed me though, regardless of the intent behind them
