PureRok posted:I still think the original Twin Peaks is a comedy. I know I spent most episodes laughing my rear end off. Even the new season I spend a lot of time laughing. It's definitely a comedy. I don't know that I'd say it's primarily a comedy but there are like a dozen characters that exist pretty much entirely for comedic effect.

The original run perfectly walks the line between horror and comedy, that's a huge reason why it's so good.

Every scene with Dougie so far has been laugh out loud funny, but there's also a lot of really horrific stuff happening in the first few episodes too.

He's then learning how to go to potty, needs someone to put his shoes on, and is learning how to speak through imitation. I really kinda love this interpretation.

So my friend (who's somewhat of a Lynch skeptic) and myself started a podcast about the revival called PEAKED and I thought I'd whore it out in here. There's a lot of goofing and me explaining some of the references and such. It's on iTunes here and at http://www.hitwithwrench.com/podcasts/.

Can confirm that seeing the new Mulholland Drive 4K restoration in a theater totally owns. Also it's a great idea to watch that movie again soon after you've seen it because then on your second viewing you can piece together the timeline much clearer after you find out what happens in the last act of your first viewing (seeing it a week and a half ago was not my first viewing but rather my first viewing in a really long time).Escobarbarian posted:So my friend (who's somewhat of a Lynch skeptic) and myself started a podcast about the revival called PEAKED and I thought I'd whore it out in here.

Both FIRE TALK WITH ME and TWIN PEAKS REWATCH are now doing weekly episodes. Both are good for different reasons, but there's a lot of great discussion in TWIN PEAKS REWATCH over the last two episodes (They also discuss The Missing Pieces).

Just on a side note I don't know how you guys can stand those podcasts, I mean, I could dig it if I had some horrible menial work I could mindlessly focus on while listening, but like I don't... I was watching a youtube video of a couple guys discussing episode 3, and like, one of them has his loving phone out and is checking whatever on it while either the other guy was talking and saynig nothing at the same time or while he was doing it. And it's just like, gently caress. It's aggravating enough to have people doing poo poo on their phones all the time around you in real life but I don't have the loving time for this podcast crap that's going over info I can suss out in a fraction of the time it takes these gently caress-ups to summarize the episode and then try winding their head around whether there might be some sort of metaphor in the episode  I'd post the rolling eyes emoticon vomiting up smaller rolling eyes emoticons, if I could. Anyway, I dunno I just never seem to actually find any content worth truly consuming within a podcast, but then that hasn't always been the case so I shouldn't really be talking poo poo like this, I guess  Oh, about Mulholland Dr, I wasn't lucky enough to see it in a theater but I did watch it again. I was truly struck by just how many different types of "doppelgangers" there were even in each separate phase of the film, and then the amount just doubles when you compare the doppelgangers *between* the two phases. One thing I noticed this time around, which I had never noticed before, is that "Camilla Rhodes" in the First Part is played by Melissa George, who also plays the blonde woman whom Camilla from the Second Part pointedly kisses at the humiliation party in front of Diane. I had just never made that connection before. And both time's she's a sort of doppelganger for Betty/Diane. edit: Random aside: I was watching a video of Lynch naming his favorite filmmakers/films, and the ones he says off the top of his head (in about this order) were: Kubrick, whose films he says he can watch over and over and over and over and never get tired of - he did not name a particular film. Billy Wilder, particularly Sunset Boulevard (of course) which he also says he watches over and over again. Then he mentions Fellini (naturally) and - and I *love* him for this - he goes out of his way to mention Jacque Tati and his comedies and that is SO great and SOOO true! I watched Tati in high school in my Film Club and it was really funny and subtle physical comedy that took its time, and I had never realized it before but it's such a dead ringer for the kind of physical comedy Lynch uses in his own films at times, especially in Twin Peaks. The last director he mentioned was Hitchcock, singing out Rear Window, which is, well, logical. What's amazing is how when a filmmaker answers these questions honestly, you really can almost see, er, how Lynch slowly developed his own style almost *on top* of those influences - but it's really quite spot-on. Take some Kubrick and Hitchcock, add a dollop of Billy Wilder, a dash of Tati's physical comedy, and a decent amount of Fellini's often uncomfortable surrealism, and there you go. I'm not saying this sums up Lynch, because if *anyone* is their own filmmaker it's probably Lynch. I think more people would "get" him if they actually watched Billy Wilder and Fellini, to be honest. I always loved Fellini's Satyricon in an odd way. It seemed quite Lynchian in how it often seemed purposefully opaque and making a point of the insignificance of the plot as merely an excuse to present something else entirely, an approach I've always kept in mind with Lynch. Like Fellini, Lynch always made a point of freeing his film from the constraints of traditional narrative. kaworu fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Jun 3, 2017 |

I'm always a bit surprised that Luis Bunuel doesn't get more mention as an influence on Lynch. I feel like That Obscure Object of Desire, for instance, could absolutely be passed off as a David Lynch film.

Its just an attempt to lure in viewers for them sweet sweet adsense bucks, better to just make a quick buck regardless of the quality of your content than spend the time and energy trying to make something close to halfway decent. Hey maybe if your are lucky you can record videos of yourself opening a lootcrate box or record a movie review of a film just released in your car with no editing because god knows all you wanna spend the limited time on this earth is listening to a sperg pontificate for a hour about utter bollocks. God most of Youtube is garbage but the treasures found within shine so very brightly.

My favorite one line teaser for a thing is what Pizzolatto said about True Detective season 2. It’s about “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system", if only the season lived up to that glorious sentence.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:i mean, you could keep going back to bergman and maya deren and fritz lang as well. i feel like every generation has a handful of great impressionist filmmakers and lynch is definitely among them. True but I feel like Bunuel in particular has a very similar sensibility. Touches of humor that are very similar to Lynch, much moreso than Bergman, for instance. There's a scene about 12 minutes into That Obscure Object of Desire that was hilarious and completely took me by surprise at how unexpected it was. The movie also has the doppleganger motif. And thematically it's just such a strong, singular vision. Not that Bergman doesn't have that as well, but Bunuel seems almost a kindred spirit to David Lynch. Their voices are so complementary to each other, so of a particular type.

It's definitely helpful to think about it more in terms of recurring themes (adultery, poverty/inequality, violence against women, the fear of spiritual emptiness and failure), but I've always taken it to be a kind of cinematic therapy session.

Fan podcasts are nearly universally insufferable due to the ever present feature of the hosts obnoxiously guffawing at their own 'jokes'. Not that goon one, I'm sure that's a noble effort. I will listen to it later. BeigeJacket fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jun 3, 2017 |

Late to the party on watching this, about halfway through ep 3 now. Minor gripe but having grown up in South Dakota and now living in southern CA, it is super obvious it was filmed here and doesn't remotely resemble SD landscapes.
