The only problem with Inception was the marketing, which directly compared it to Blade Runner and 2001. An 8 pushed as a 10 always looks more like a 6.

I really didn't mean to make this into a discussion about other directors and I *certainly* didn't want a discussion about THAT director and THAT movie, I just wanted to cite an example of a mainstream film by another director with a purposely ambiguous ending, that's it. I really think we should stick to Lynch/Peaks there is so much fertile ground there at the moment guys  I find it fantastic that Lynch's exec. producer refuted the overlap poo poo in her AMA, because I really really didn't like the idea of that being the definitive reading of the episodes, either. It seems simplistic and there's far more going on. I don't think that means that other parts weren't meant to sync up to some degree at times - like I'm fairly positive that the boxing loop Sarah Palmer watches is meant to sync up with the Woodsman repeating the poem, or that we're at least meant to view a connection between those two scenes - it's not as if you need to watch them perfectly sync'd to noticed the similarities, I'm pretty sure people noticed immediately while liveposting in this thread. That's kinda the difference, I think.

Modrasone posted:Audrey thought she had Door Anxiety but realised after a strange incident of nostalgia that she was actually living inside her own head and something terrible had happened to her. Sarah had a demon living inside of her and ultimately a framed picture of her daughter bore the brunt of that. These are endings. Okay they are not the kind of endings you'd get in something by, say, George Martin (not the Beatles one) or in something by Julia Donaldson, but they are endings nonetheless. I feel you though, I would have had Audrey's story end with her getting her coat and going to the Roadhouse and meeting Coop and then saying "let's fight evil" and then they fight the evil and everyone has a smiling party after they fight the evil (they win) but that's not what happened and I guess I'll just go back to looking at that 1990's promo photo of Cooper looking out of the window while Audrey looks at Cooper and they might have sex soon. a+ for effort by the way

Was watching bits and pieces of Episode 8, and I started wondering if maybe Judy was inhabiting Sarah as kind of an egg, and would at some point "hatch" into another form. That is, if we assume the bug is some manifestation of Judy, and it's young Sarah that gets inhabited.  Note the same sort of primordial soup greyscale stuff inside, and how Sarah's face hinges off like the eggshell. Seeing as a spirit like BOB doesn't need to physically, parasitically invade a host, maybe that means Judy was planning on giving herself a more powerful physical form in the "real" world. Also, Episode 8 is a truly incredible piece of television. Maybe the best I've ever seen.

Episode 8 is amazing. Whatever my issues with the finale, the whole season was worth it for episode 8.

I watched episode 8 on an international flight halfway between Amsterdam and Hong Kong after several weeks of jet lag and poor sleep. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Inception's ending is quite clear. You never find out what's the totem of Leo, the only one you see him play with all the time is his wife's totem and were kinda made to believe he then adopts it as his own. That's not it at all. His totem is is wedding ring. Any time his in a dream, he doesn't wear it, once he's out, either at the beginning or end of the movie, he's wearing it. His totem is the wedding ring and he know's he's out of the dream and with his family.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_Qwo8sT9U0 (Moby - Go) This showed up on a mix today and reminded me of the early 90's. There was something very special about the way the nation fixated on Twin Peaks. It might have had something to do with no social media or cell phones or streaming video. And the Simpsons were funny.

kaworu posted:Or one of my favorite directors, Jim Jarmusch - I'm fairly certain a number of his films deliberately ask almost no questions, and provide fewer answers. Down By Law is a wonderful, beautiful, enchanting film where questions and answers are entirely beside the point, unless they involve the mechanics of survival and living.

I can't believe Leland was in one scene and said two words. What a loving waste. Not sure what I think about Bob being destroyed by a guy with a garden glove. It almost seems like a pisstake.

At first glance Freddie and his glove does seem like something from a non-Lynch S2 episode, up there with wacky signs falling from the sky in the Black Lodge. I don't know what to make of it. It definitely wouldn't fit in FWWM

Watching that reminds of how absolutely perfect Badalamenti's score is in that movie. Not just the composed music but also the diegetic music is just so goddamn fantastic. I really, really have to give a fuckton of credit to Episode 8 once again, though - that episode seriously might have the best use of sound and music that I have ever seen used within a single 60 minutes. Like, every single one of my favorite pieces of music on the show practically (besides a lot of other stuff but there were a lot of good bands at the roadhouse ok). But seriously, Ep 8 really runs the freaking gamut! You go from slowed down Moonlight Sonata, which was the really chilling music that plays whenever the Woodsmen do their bloody ritual on Bad Cooper - straight into like a five-and-a-half minute live NIN song that freaking *rules* with the entire band head-to-toe in black leather. From there we jump to one of the great modern composers in Penderecki and his Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, a theme that repeats in later episodes at key moments, but is played longest here as we zoom in on the results of the Trinity Test. After a lot of typical rough peripheral noisy and scratchy sound effects that terrify me, we get yet another great song: The Platters recording of the old standard My Prayer, which of course returns during the sex scene we see between Coop and Diane... It's one of the things that makes me wonder just a little about what year it is on the night when they rent that motel fake edit: On a slightly interesting and kinda bizarre note, I was reading the Wikipedia page for "The Platters" (which was a really quite popular black R&B/early rock n roll group) and I happened to notice that the groups second-longest tenured member is a fella by the name of David Lynch - no poo poo. Weird coincidence, makes me wonder.

I loved the last episode. The only regret is that we didn't get one more scene with grace zabriskie, cause her performance all season long was so incredible. I don't know that it would have wrapped up the season any better, I just wanted to see her on screen one more time. Instead we got sheryl lee kinda fumbling through her new character. She wasn't bad, but just not electric like she was in FWWM.

I had a dream last night I, and some friends, were doing some sort of Twin Peaks ARG. We got to the end, we were on some elevator-like platform and then David Lynch appears (from some red curtains, natch) and says something like: "Now that you've completed all this, you can think to yourself 'now I have more time work instead of play, or even play instead of work'"
