Pre-screeening memories: Growing up I was exposed to many different kinds of films. You see, I had a brother who was 14 years older than me, so naturally I'd pick up on a few things most 10-year-olds didn't.

While the kids at school were telling me how great Home Alone was, I was raving about Barton Fink. My God, I was pretentious even back then?

As a kid I remember my brother being obsessed with this show because someone named David Lynch was at the helm. (Having grown up and seen most of Lynch's work I now know why.) Every week, my brother would put on the TV and watch another episode of this odd show about the murder of someone named Laura Palmer.
