Blue Velvet

Here we have one of director David Lynch's many masterpieces and like so many classic films I see no point in adding much to the many pages already written about it. It doesn't matter if it offends you or not...it was an important event in American cinema and we'll just leave it at that. What I would like to point out is all of the fuss over this film when TWIN PEAKS finally hit the small screen. Many a folk thought the character of Jeffrey Beaumont actually morphed into Agent Dale Cooper and though Lynch has never commented on let alone confirmed the topic I suspect those thinking this may be right. I suppose it doesn't really matter but there is certainly no denying the similarities between the two. Look for a nice cameo from long time Lynch composer Angelo Badalamenti as the piano player in the night club and pray Frank doesn't send you a love letter or decide to take you for a joy ride.
