In the
New York leg of his
Last Angel Tour this past
October,
Neil Gaiman, author of
Sandman, fielded questions from the audience. One of these questions was about whether he would ever work with
David Lynch to which he replied (and I paraphrase heavily) that he and
Lynch had once planned to do a
project together, the story having something to do with a
private investigator. Gaiman claimed that about five minutes into plotting the
story, he
understood twin peaks. This occured when
Lynch said, "Howabout the main character
wakes up tied to a chair. He hears a knock on the
door, and in walks some people. At the point the main character should say "
These Ropes Feel Evil"
He also told the story of why he would probably never finish that project. It took place in Lynch's basement where he was working on making a plaster cast of his sink. They were working out the last scene and Lynch said, "Instead of explaining everything at the end, why don't we just have the main character go back to the house he was in at the beginning and walk around, pick things up, and put them back down in the same place. And then, we'll pull back and we'll see that he's on the moon."
Just a little insight...
