With a Shifty Glance Skyward

The Criterion Collection edition of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is so nice (those deleted scenes were a goddamn holy grail and I can’t believe I’m really seeing them) that it made me want to get back into collecting Criterions, which is making me happy and reminding me just how much I love film as an art form, but it’s also giving me these weird feelings of existential dread related to the fact that it was two decades and a full half my lifetime ago when I first got really into these.
