Re: Twin Peaks, you mean the DVD release of the second season?

Yep. Supposedly they're rerelasing 1 to conform with it, and with the original pilot. Sounds like the kind of thing that'll hit some delays, though.

Did you ever see the James Lipton parody on Mr. Show? David Cross also goes off on him in his stand-up act a lot.

Bloom says that Everyman is "staggering. A Death of Ivan Ilyich for out time." "As good as anything Roth has ever written, up there with Sabbath's Theater and American Pastoral." Thought you'd want to know.
