please just ignore that exclamation point guy, he isn't even reading the thread. even if he is reading the thread, "twin peaks isn't my cup of tea, and since i'm the only person in the universe, that means everyone who likes it is a brainwashed lynch cultist" is not worth responding to.

I'm genuinely trying to figure out how someone could make the following argument: "GOT fans would be upset if the creator's original vision was compromised. therefore Lynch fans should be upset because storylines didn't end how I wanted them to, despite the fact that it was a cohesive, complete artistic expression"

I watched FWWM for the first time in a long while. I still think it's the least impressive movie Lynch has ever done. What's the point in re-telling the story of Laura Palmer's murder?

Did Chris Isaac ever act again? He was great in that.

He wasn't that good, but I would have watched a whole movie of that stuff, and I guess a whole movie about Laura, although its kinda the right amount of Laura stuff. You're ready for it to be over by the end.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:If that bedroom scene of Bob transitioning into Leland didn't scare the poo poo out of you and make you feel for Laura, then I don't know what to tell you. A few years ago I saw a screening of FWWM at University of So CA, and there was a Q&A afterward with some of the cast. Sheryl Lee said that in that scene, there was originally supposed to be cuts between Bob, Leland, and...a severed pig's head. Lee told Lynch no way; he apparently just was puzzled by her refusal (I mean who wouldn't want to act a scene of being raped by a pig's head?).

I loved the Deer Meadow stuff in FWWM, I really would like to see more of that. Also, in the scene where Leland turns into Bob in bed with Laura, Lynch originally wanted there to be a cut of Laura holding a severed pig's head before he turned into Leland, but Sheryl Lee nixed it.

Yeah I didn't come into S3 with any real expectations but I was sad that Carl moved to TP rather than setting part of the show in Deer Meadow. Also can you all help me save $10 and just pretend that I bought that exclamation point guy a custom avatar of Charlyne Yi crawling and screaming on the floor of the roadhouse with the caption "confused casual"? Thanks in advance.

FWWM ranks up there with Mulholland Drive as my favorite Lynch movie, though admittedly I still have to watch Inland Empire.

I like the first half hour of FWWM but for some reason I'm not mad on the majority of the stuff that actually links to S1 of Twin Peaks. It's one of my least favourite Lynch movies. Mulholland is the best IMO, scariest film I've ever seen in my life.

Inland Empire is the only one I really dislike, but that's more a personal preference I think. Or it's bad. I still can't decide. I have the same feelings about both movies. FWWM is, I think, objectively not as good a movie as Blue Velvet or Mulholland Drive, but I have sentimental attachment to it. When I was 12 or 13 years old, I got my own video rental card and immediately started plowing through every R rated movie I could find that looked like it would have boobs in it. This plan was going fine until I started dwindling down toward the less-obvious choices, and I rolled the dice on a tattered VHS copy of FWWM. That movie absolutely bent my pubescent mind in half. I'd never seen anything like it, and it sparked a desperate love for films and filmmaking that persists to this day. I devoured everything Lynch had ever done, and moved on to Cronenberg and Jodorowsky and John Waters and nothing was ever the same. anyway, sheryl lee is still hot.

If there is a 4th season of Twin Peaks, you can guarantee people will fall into the same sort of gambler's fallacy about how this time it will surely wrap things up nice and neat. No. No, it won't.

Like I believe people that say IE has a lot below the surface and that you can make more sense of it by rewatching and theorycrafting but it all just feels so mundane. Speaking of theories, I've been thinking a lot about the Roadhouse and I'm starting to wonder if it functions as some kind of collective unconscious where people's avatars (for lack of a better word) show up to hash through poo poo they are burying. All the conversations by strangers and a lot of what happens there kind of reflects elements of the main plot threads. On the other hand, James and Freddie can just hang out there like it's no big so I really have no idea.

Why the poo poo is it impossible to get a pic of Bob's actual FWWM tattoo? All I get are giant face bob sleeves and other non bob tattoo version of FWWM, or meanwhile.

Am I the only one who very frankly is not ready for a re-watch and actually feels like his Twin Peaks Itch has been satiated properly for the first time in 2 decades? 'Cause that's actually how I kinda feel. Twin Peaks ain't goin' nowhere. I'll have lots of time to watch it again. I'm actually just gonna wait till I have someone else to watch it with for my next re-watch, I think. I still really wanna rewatch a few key episodes here or there on my own just for quick analysis purposes, though, for sure - including the Pilot and the S2 finale and FWWM and kaworu fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Sep 13, 2017 |

Everyone who liked watching the first time owes it to themselves to do a rewatch. I'm only to Ep. 4 and things are already fitting together in satisfying ways. Also more or less knowing how things turn out in the end adds on kind of a rich layer of dramatic irony and humor to certain scenes. And Christ, the show is hilarious, the Dougie scenes feel like a comedic triumph to me.

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. the gently caress is this poo poo

I still can't believe Lynch cut this scene of Laura from FWWM: Incredibly unsettling and a great way of showing us the conflict inside of her. Rewatching that, I think that Sarah's "Laauurraaa" line is the one that is used in the final scene of S3.

I'm watching Fire Walk With Me for the first time. What's with the electricity noises whenever they look at a telephone pole. It sounds like someone doing a very offensive native american whoop whoop whoop thing with their hand popping on their mouth. Like some 1940's looney tunes thing where daffy duck gets excited for westerns or something. Kind of like the opposite of the dull droning we hear in season 3

No. I'm saying that since FWWM had the potential to tell so many stories, it was disappointing that it chose to spend 2/3rds of its runtime telling one that we already knew. Especially after that hilarious bit with David Lynch and the pantomime girl that gave me such high expectations.
