9/14: Why did David Lynch have to make a movie for what's considered to be one of the worst TV shows ever?

Was he blind to the fact that the audience had dwindled in numbers during the two seasons? Upon completing Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, David Lynch had planned to do more sequels, but the film tanked so badly at the box office that the whole thing had finally ceased for good.

So, how awful was it? Chris Isaak's and Kiefer Sutherland's characters started off the ball in the first thirty minutes to make things interesting. Then, all of a sudden, they disappeared with no further explanation, and I was right back to Season Two which was filled with supreme ineptitude and pointlessness.

Many of the familiar but useless characters are thankfully absent, leaving Sheryl Lee to chew most of the wood. However, Laura's spiralling downfall has led me to not feel sorry for her the least bit. In fact, a lot of what Sheryl Lee was doing seems like an audition for future Playboy work.

All in all, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is a massive failure that resolves nothing whatsoever, ending my sorriest time with the entire franchise.
