On the topic of paper strip effects. At the time of watching episode 8, when the woman at the radio station is killed by a woodsman, the close up of her death and her face gave me the image of a close up on the "film" and then blood and then a wobbling, rippling kind of effect as the image just tears up/falls apart. It felt visceral.

Also the scenes with diane's tulpa seemed papery. She says she knows, Dougie tulpa seemed confused, and his disintegration is more physically coherent (hands shrink, weight drops, then it all goes to hell) than hers.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

So, someone also noticed the weird noise, and slowed down the clip properly:

It's Lynch talking to the gaffer or something. Even weirder, Sarah Palmer's face seems to turn into David Bowie's face from time to time.

I've also been watching An Idiot Abroad, and Karl Pilkington actually says something really amazing about the American Dream:

Karl Pilkington posted:

Everyone thinks you should be happy. It's all about living the dream. If you're living the dream, how do you know you're awake or if you're asleep? If it's exactly the same. That's what I quite like. I quite like having bad dreams. You wake up and go, "Thank god for that." If your dreams are better than your life, what is the point? Your dreams should never be better than your real life.

We live inside an American Dream.

Just to clarify, with the Richard thing - in Judy's pocket dimension, Judy has made Laura's 'essence' (outside of linear time after his failed attempt to undo the timeline) into Carrie and put her in the waitress reality to hide her. Cooper and DIane go into the dimension, but Judy tries to remake them into Richard and Linda to stop them. Diane becomes consumed by the Linda identity and dissapears. Cooper resists becoming Richard but slowly starts forget who is he and become Richard. Cooper, slowly becoming consumed by the Ricard peronsa, takes Laura to the house, they remember who they are, Laura screams and the dimension collapses.

Did I get that right?

I think this goes a long way to explaining the Phillip Jeffries teapot stuff. In schizophrenia, people often feel they are being manipulated by an "influencing machine", a device they can't see but which is used by unknown forces to influence their decisions and the things they see in a kind of mind control. The schizophrenic doesn't hallucinate three dimensionally, but sees patterns in two dimensional surfaces that appear "projected" by this unseen machine, the painting above depicts is. Freud thought that this was because the schizophrenic mistakenly locates the source of their desires and wishes outside of their body. Invisible forces like electricity sometimes play a role in their fantasies. This is part of an unrelated critical theory article I read the other day.

I think this is what Jeffries and the place where the Fireman lives is supposed to be (was it ever confirmed that this is the "white lodge" or is that just something people kept repeating until everyone believed it?). It would explain the sense of paranoia in the series, the lodges are a schizophrenic hallucination of outside control.

Jeffries lives in a motel inside the room above a gas station, and the gas station is a portal/part of the Black Lodge. As for the Fireman, who knows, but it seems that he was malnipulating Cooper, so the only lodge person who actually seemed to have Cooper's best interests in mind was MIKE.

I agree with this except I don't think it's Judy's dimension, it's the Fireman's.

The issue with this interpretation is that he introduces himself as Dale Cooper at the door, and obviously seemed confused at who answered the door, so he never had an issue remembering who he was.

Judy's world seems to have an effect on him, as he seems to be flickering in and out of his identity and into a different persona. It's noticable after he pretty snaps straight back into classic Coop after the coma, he's a lot quiter and colder at times during the waitress dimension - he seems really cruel during the diner scene. It's not that he's become Richard, but staying Cooper seems to be causing him a lot of strain and willpower. Diane didn't, so Judy managed to completely turn her into Linda.If Laura hadn't have remembered and scremed, he probably woudn't have to able to resist being remade as Richard much longer.

read a neat theory that nadio is not diane and nadio's appearance in the sherrif's office and in episode 3 both mislead coop

nadio pulls a lever and puts coop into dougie instead of where he was supposed to go

i bet it was the fireman beating down the door in episode 3 trying to get in and save coop from nadio

nadio might be judy!

Hmm...the slashing sounds that Nido makes trying to prevent Cooper from going towards the outlet seem to be the same as the sounds of the glass box Experiment killing the loving couple.

For her safety, after saying she needed to be protected. You can also see Naido react to Cooper's voice when they first meet in the opening episodes, she touches his face with compassion, as if she recognizes him. There's also no explanation for where the real Diane is if she isn't her. She's Diane.

For more sound chat, I rewatched 17 last night and noticed that right when Jeffries transports Cooper back in time, the sound drops out and is replaced by the exact same pulsing (ceiling fan?) sound that's heard when Sarah is running down the stairs in Coop's very first dream in S1E02. I just checked and you can briefly hear that same sound in FWWM at the exact moment that Cooper is apparently transported to the past (when Leland is looking out the window at Laura driving away with James, which is the first thing we see in ep 17 after Coop goes back in time).

Sarah wails inside her home and she tries to destroy Laura's homecoming photo.

Cooper leads Laura through the woods, but she disappears and he hears her screams.
