Your Parents posted:Many of them are songs Lynch wrote, or songs Lynch requested the artists write for the series, including Eddie Vedder's. The lyrics of every song are thematically relevant to the show. Listen. I'm not really interested in listening to a song by an artist whose composition and performance I don't like. That's kind of the issue, isn't it? Musical performances by bands you like, on a stage, is maybe not the ideal way to convey thoughts and themes for the simple reason that people are not going to pay attention to music too much if they don't like the sound. It doesn't really matter if the songs are 'thematically relevant' to the show. I am sure that, to David Lynch, there is a point to most of the scenes in the show, musical or otherwise. It may be thematic, it may be to convey some plot information, it may just be to be viscerally funny/scary/emotional. But that doesn't mean they succeed at it. It doesn't mean that they add more, by virtue of their existence, than they subtract by virtue of taking up runtime, affecting pacing and momentum, etc. It doesn't mean that the way something was done was maybe the best way to do it, or that it works for everyone.

Egbert Souse posted:The scenes with Ben Horne aren't useless. They set up Cooper getting the ring back. Note that the lamp in the corner and the light it's making looks like the design on the ring. And Horne was trying to find the source of the ringing noise. Ring and ringing. There were a bunch of Ben Horne scenes, most of which had nothing to do with a ring. There were multiple scenes between him and an assistant, played by Ashley Judd, and a scene involving Ashley Judd and her husband. Clearly that stuff wasn't there just as a plot device.

That huge post Little Mac made was a really good summation and hypothesis of the events. Even then, this story feels purposefully incomplete. It isn't seeming much like a 'Mullholland Dr' situation where you can figure out exactly what happened by watching again because all the pieces are scattered throughout the movie.

The woodsmen removed the Bob orb from the evil Cooper when he was shot midway through the season. But when he was shot again in the finale, they took Bob out again. I thought he'd been Bobless for the last part of the season but apparently I was wrong.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Here's your problem: you're expecting David Lynch to be a conventional storyteller. You seem to think labeling something unconventional is a pass on evaluating it critically. That doesn't get us anywhere either. 'Conventional storytelling' uses some techniques in order to convey meaning and feelings. But so does 'unconventional' storytelling. Lynch has his techniques, his tricks, and sometimes they work really well, and sometimes they don't work as well. He's not some magician, he's not some insane guy making things that have nothing to do with anything anyone's ever made, he's not that unconventional and he's not that much of a break from traditional filmmaking, it is perfectly fine to judge him much like you would judge other works by other people.

The lyrics of every song are thematically relevant to the show. Listen. This isn't really accurate. Lynch did co-write 1 of the songs almost 2 decades ago and it didn't have anything to do with Twin Peaks, obviously. Eddie Vedder and Trouble wrote their stuff for the show. But all the other songs are just songs that came out on albums that Lynch happened to like, and he put them in the show. Now the lyrics being thematically relevant, yeah, I agree with that.

People acting like episode 17 is the finale and 18 doesn't exist or is extraneous is crazy to me.

I dunno what to think about the ending other than "it ended when Coop and Diane drove through dimensions" because at least then I don't have a memory of Laura Dern's titty. Speaking of Diane, I was totally right about Tulpas having a distinctly different hairstyle compared to who it is they are based on. When I saw Diane with her red hair I was like "oooo! Called it!"

The only differences between a filmmaker and a magician are where and when the illusion is being performed. The best magicians are fooling you in plain sight through sleight of hand and misdirection.

There is no real difference between ten years ago and ten seconds ago. Your future determines your past. The flame of nostalgia is a tempting black hole to jump into, but I recognize it as a fantasy." - That's what Johnny Jewel, who did most of the music for The Return, said about the song.

TheRationalRedditor posted:'Lost Highway' can certainly be fully deciphered, too. I saw 'Inland Empire' not too long ago and uh, that one not so much without huge blind leaps of logic There's an Inland Empire wiki that goes to absurd lengths to make it all make sense. It's well worth a read, even if I have no idea if I agree with most of it: http://inland-empire.wikia.com/wiki/INLAND_EMPIRE_Wikia

While I loving love this show I admit I'd love to see some of the bigger apologists try and give excuses for the ridiculous exposition dumps, especially the one from 17 that literally reveals a secret plot between Briggs/Gordo/Coop during season 2 that we never knew about.

Pedro De Heredia posted:What do you think those lyrics represent? Dude.. Feels like you just read lord of the rings and you are complaining that the books could have been a lot longer because most stuff is redundant. It's about the invoking of a feeling and the journey. If the music didn't invoke anything, that's cool too.

Gordon reveals he's been keeping secrets from Albert in 17, but Albert also reveals that he was keeping secrets from Gordon in episode 4. I don't think they were ever 100% honest with each other despite respecting each other.
