Trivia:

Richard Beymer (Ben Horne) declined to participate due to a scene where Ben was to force Laura to kiss him in exchange for a bag of cocaine. Beymer felt that there had been no buildup for the character of Horne (who confesses his love for Laura in the TV series) to extort Laura, and that as a result the scene came off as exploitative. As a result, another scene, in which Leland Palmer (Ray Wise) confronts Ben about Laura's photo being on Ben's desk, resulting in a fight with Ben's wife, was never shot. The scene also would have included Johnny and Jerry Horne.

Pure Lynch

I just watched this movie again for about the 13th time, and it just keeps getting better and better. This movie is amazing! I had the chance of following the series from the pilot to the final episode in a span of three weeks. I then watched the movie for the first time right after. Let me start by saying everything that happens in Twin Peaks from the series to the movie all makes perfect sense. This is something which needs to be viewed carefully, and thought about very clearly. I'm not going to tell you what I think it's all about but I'm pretty damn sure I know, and I know well enough to say this makes perfect sense. I will also say if you have not seen the television show Twin Peaks (season 1&2) don't even bother with this movie. I am truly tired of hearing people complain about this movie because of their lack of understanding. If you have not seen the show, you will not understand this movie.. So go out and watch the show and then think about watching this FANTASTIC movie.
