I channeled the explanatory writing style of Siskel & Ebert & the Movies in the first half of the review (whenever I used the term “picture” as a synonym for “movie,” it was a telltale sign that I was leaning on the approach of the most famous film critics in the nation), and there’s my amateurish stab at a more academic, deep-dive analysis of a single scene in the piece’s latter portion. I can recognize the defense strategies in the review. I was still learning how to write reviews and here I had to grapple with one of the most challenging and acclaimed directors of the day. I was, however, charged with writing about Wild at Heart in the fall of 1990, early in our program’s run. That task probably fell to my partner on the movie review radio show, leaving me to simply announce I hated it when it was my turn to pipe in. I know I saw Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me when it was released in the summer of 1992, but I don’t recall if I wrote a review of it. Thanks,for the image, random eBay listing!
