Extras Review - Twin Peaks: The First Season

Twin Peaks: The First Season
produced by Artisan Home Video
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from EO

"People love extra stuff. And this is a heartache to me. Because the film is the thing! But the film isn't the thing. I mean, it is the thing, but people want Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. Do you know what I mean?"

Without Lynch's direct involvement in the now out-of-print first season set, I get a post-synch video interview between two fanzine founders and the second name under "Created by," a 17-minute featurette on the Mar-T diner's original proprietor, and probably the best syndication-run introductions in history. No Lynch, no problem - zip! - and when I miss him, I can always just watch the show.
