Kyle's been in a lot of stinkers too. Quirks of a working actor. When you can say your role in Showgirls isn't even on the bottom half of your resume, yeesh!! He's playing a hilarious part on The Good Wife right now. He's also HILARIOUS as the mayor of Portlandia. |

I've never seen "Twin Peaks" but now that it's on Netflix, I may give it a shot. Ironically, one of the first people I befriended immediately after moving to L.A. played Leo Johnson.

It holds up quality-wise, but I don't know that its revolutionary nature can ever be recreated. However, I am also kind of curious how it would be judged by someone who can watch it AS a precursor of what's to come, kind of like people today who independently come to appreciate the genius of Citizen Kane given ITS time and place. That said, I don't want to over-hype it. The best advice I can give is sit down and watch the pilot trying your best to be a late 80s network TV viewer vaguely aware of David Lynch and not much else.

Yes, I've met him, too. We didn't spend much time chatting because we were in the bar area of a sushi restaurant waiting for a table and he was clearly with his buddies.
I thought it was cool that Tarantino named Pitt's character after Eric's dad. |

I made a trophy for Brad Pitt a while back. This old WWII vet comes in and orders these big eagle trophies for people. I guess he did a behind-the-scenes thingy for Pitt's new movie, Fury.

gotta stick with it, the first few episodes are really dated and are a hard pill to swallow but once it gets going there's no turning back . Most shows or movies these days just go for straight up horror or mystery thriller -- no one else on the big or little screen walks that fine line of comedy/absurdness with absolute creepiness like Lynch does it.

Meant to add, I'd put it on the spectrum of the pilots of Hill Street Blues, ER and Lost as markers in the evolution of network TV.

Might have been the strangest show to ever air on network tv.
Incredible it made the air in 1990 when tv tv was still fairly safe and conservative. |
