Ah, found the interview. It's Frost recalling what Lynch said. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Josie's end was really Joan Chen. She wanted to be written out of the show to do a movie. There's an interview where Lynch talks about choosing the drawer pull but the idea of the character exiting was all Chen.

I'll say this: Goké, Body Snatcher from Hell is a much better, and certainly more interesting movie than Iguana.

It's not a great episode! But it's in that stretch of S2 where there are few good storylines for a solid six episodes. Not sure how much a one-shot director could do. (And while Josie is in Keaton's, it's not the worst of her story — or the end.)

I'm still mad about The Iguana With the Tongue of Fire (1971).

This was the same party with the Pitbull encounter that @scottwampler.bsky.social loved to recount.

THAT director aside, Diane Keaton’s performance in Annie Hall opened spaces for women in film: what romantic leads could look like, dress like, sound like; that there could be a place for an oddball who wasn’t a screwball. That’s all her - Keaton was such a brilliant actress and icon, truly

Met Diane Keaton at a party. She was hanging out, talking to everyone. Gracious and welcoming, seemingly happy in the moment. I was totally flustered, had that "I just have to meet her" impulse. She took my hands, said she was glad I said hello. Totally forgot to ask her about directing Twin Peaks.

Not sure if you saw when I was going on about this movie recently, but I guess the Clayton/Bradbury cut, pre-reshoots, was screened at Disney a couple years ago.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
