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.

Re: T W I N P E A K S {Season 3: 2017-ish, New Book: 10/18}
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.

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

Sorry for the esoteric tangent, this is what David Lynch does to me.

I would say I am not clear on the exact same two things -- the scary homeless person and the cowboy. I have vague ideas of what they might represent, but nothing terribly deep.

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."

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.

We'll see, no promises. I'm planning to push myself to watch these over breakfast, in order to walk through it regularly and have it done come May 21, so peak analysis is probably not to be expected. Any other period of the day, I'd probably fail to keep, considering how seasons from Americans, Saul, You're the Worst and such have been sitting in their folders for months now.
