well
part 17 was fantastic, loved every second
part 18...
well
it's gonna take me a while to formulate an opinion.
We waited twenty five years for Season 3 to resolve the cliffhangers from Seasons 1 & 2.
Hopefully we won't have to wait that long for the cliffhangers from Season 3 to be resolved. Because...I have some questions.
A lot of fucking questions.
But shit, no other movie or television show in a long while made me this invested, even if Part 18 is an epilogue which potentially invalidates the entire series
If there's no Season 4, and there's no plans for a Season 4, I'll have to just stand and applaud for the sheer testicle size that it takes to produce Part 18.

Re: T W I N P E A K S {Season 3: May 21st}
Yeaaah, this was probably my least favorite episode of The Return, Sarah Palmer and CEILING FAN aside.
Stalling in a painfully self-aware way. The sweeping scene from Part 7 writ into an entire episode.
But hey, at least we still know that Grace Zabriskie is a fucking great actress, if "BRUTAL FUCKING MURDER" didn't convince you.
(seriously, wtf was with that Audrey scene. In one way, it's Lynch giving the middle finger to people expecting fanservice like you describe, by putting Audrey in some clearly unhappy marriage with the little dude from The Path. On the other hand, jesus fucking christ David Lynch we don't need ten more goddamn plotlines about people we don't know. And yes, I know that you know that, and you're choosing to do them anyway, but self-awareness doesn't make mediocrity somehow legitimate.) *cough cough emoji posting*
Still greatly enjoying the show, but I can't help but be thankful I saw the first two seasons on Netflix, and could just get through the less-than-stellar parts without waiting a week in-between.

Eh.

Sherry Lee sounded real good at it. But now in ep2 her lines sounded like shit.
And wouldnt you know, the only actor who was actually skilled at it got into an edgy feud and was replaced with a tree. Blargh.
As far as Mike Anderson goes...

Wishing you all the luck.Ricochet wrote:Going in, starting the series. Wish me luck.
Would it be too much to ask for regular updates and thoughts on the episodes? I know you already write mini-essays on art films on a regular basis, so it may be asking too much, but I for one would really appreciate it.
This is my favorite show of all time, and I could listen to/watch/read discussion and analysis of it for hours on end. Note that when I say favorite, I do not mean best. The best TV show of all time is The Wire, no contest. Twin Peaks is a flawed masterpiece, but to be honest, I doubt I'd really be capable of loving a perfect work of art with all my heart the way I do Twin Peaks.
Now, Twin Peaks is essentially a balancing act between three very different television shows.
- 1. A police procedural about a murdered teenage girl, where each episode is a day in the investigation. Everyone's a suspect, and the death of this one person sends shockwaves throughout the entire community.
2. A parody of 80's and 90's era soap operas featuring ridiculous exaggerated acting, labyrinthine relationships, where everyone's sleeping with each other, and pulpy storytelling is just around the corner.
3. A bizarre avant-garde exploration of the dark side of the American psyche and the dark duality of violence and sex not only found in human nature but also in the dirt and wood of the town itself.
Then things go a little wonky. You'll know it when it starts happening.
You can choose to either skip ahead, to when it gets good again, and it does get quite good again, or you can tough it out through some rough patches.
It's a journey worth taking, and especially now considering the 18-hour-long, solely Lynch directed SHOWTIME revival this May.
We'll be getting new episodes of Twin Peaks, the Leftovers, and Fargo all at the same time, not to mention comedies like Silicon Valley and Veep.
Truly the #goldenera of #PeakTV.

RIP Miguel Ferrer
"While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love."

I explained what I could. There are pieces of the film I still don't understand after four viewings. It's still one of my favorites though.
What parts of the film do you not understand? For me, I've always been a little bit stymied by the Cowboy and the Homeless Man Behind Winkies. My loose interpretation is that they represent the classic dichotomy between order and chaos, God and the Devil, Acceptance/Judgement and Furious Indignance. As with all the best Lynch characters, they can be read as omniscient spiritual figures of unknown power and origin, or simple psychological concepts made physical, a surreal warped reflection of aspects of one's self that we desperately try to hide from.
The best and most effective examples of these figures are the Black Lodge spirits from Twin Peaks. I could write a damn 40-page essay on the relationship between

Also, a complete cast list has been released.
In addition to the old cast members we have a veritable who's who of Lynch stable favorites. (Naomi Watts! Laura Dern! Balthazar Getty! Patrick Fischler! Rebekah Del Rio!)
Aaand a whole bunch of new stars some of which are down right bizarre. (Amanda Seyfried! Robert Forster! Jennifer Jason Leigh! Tom Sizemore! Jim Belushi! Tim Roth! Monica Belushi! Sharon Van Etten! Trent Reznor!)
And Micheal Cera, who I suspect is replacing Frank Silva as BOB.

T W I N P E A K S {Season 3: May 21st}
How have I not already made a thread about this?
Anywho, after 25 years of nuttin', Twin Peaks is back. Every episode co-written by David Lynch and Mark Frost.
Every single episode directed by David Lynch. To put this in perspective, he only directed 6 of the original series.
Early reports suggest up to 18 frigging episodes.
18 hours of damn-fine Lynch/Frost Twin Peaks.
Filming wrapped months ago, by the way. Now we're just waiting on post-production.
I am dangerously overhyped for this show.
And if that wasn't enough, Mark Frost wrote a book to help bridge the gap in-between the original series and the new season. It's coming out on October 18th.
I am also dangerously overhyped for it too.
