Lynch confirmed that his last feature film will be 2006’s Inland Empire.

“Things changed a lot. So many films were not doing well at the box office even though they might have been great films and the things that were doing well at the box office weren’t the things that I would want to do.”

The heavily hyped return of “Twin Peaks” on Showtime didn’t draw much of an audience Sunday, with scarcely more than half a million people tuning in to the two-hour premiere.

The premiere, which came nearly 26 years after the show last aired on ABC, drew just 506,000 viewers and a 0.2 rating among adults 18-49. It finished well out of the Top 25 original shows on cable for the day. Both its premium cable competitors, “The Leftovers” on HBO (0.3, 770,000) and “American Gods” on Starz (0.3, 631,000) drew somewhat larger audiences — as did the likes of “Keeping Up with the Karadashians” (0.6, 1.33 million) and “Naked and Afraid” (0.6, 1.99 million).

I never expected the show to suddenly catch on despite having cult status. But I definitely expected that there would be more initial curiosity. It doesn't help that Lynch decided it would be good to start the revival with another hardly incomprehensible plot of Cooper's return. It's like he forgot that part of the reason TP initially caught on was that it had a clear and simple hook - who killed Laura Palmer. You would probably need a book to explain what's currently going on and even then some confusion would remain.

It was a joke, _axiom.
