I haven't given Lynch any money for Season 3 yet so I bought the vinyl. Sometimes I will look at it and I will smile.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't experience pure joy watching a tiny monkey toddle after a chicken while shouting "my love, my love" in David Lynch's voice

My main thought after watching that short was how much mileage younger film makers can wring out of current tech and sfx with an iphone, a DAW, and some video editing. It was just lynch playing around.

And More posted:Agreed. Imagine gushingly praising any old poo poo that some "renowned" director puts out despite it being obviously loving terrible to any normal human being. Lynch is one of the greatest carnies of all time and everyone unironically enjoying this complete shite is an utter loving rube. Is the goal of experiencing art to align our tastes with what Something Awful forums poster "And More" imagines normal human beings like or don't like? No.

Are we still talking about the short film in which David Lynch cross examines a monkey here? In any case, it's certainly some kind of success that I got you to post for the first time in two years by reappropriating three year old posts.

El Jeffe posted:It's seriously uncanny It's the one time his disguise actually works. Some random observations: - That jittering of the hand in episode 27 reminds me a lot of BOB's shaking arm in FWWM. - Pete taking Audrey fishing is some compelling evidence for the "Audrey's Dream" theory. Maybe she does have a deep desire to go fishing, after all. - Interesting that major Briggs seems nearly aware that he's named after Judy Garland when high on haloperidol. - It's pretty funny that Lana is supposedly doing this extremely sexy dance, yet Lucy outdoes her before she even gets to try. That jump leading into her doing the splits.  - There is such a strange fluidity to Earle using that remote control. Everything else looks way choppier due to the strobe lighting. I'm unsure whether it's intentional or just a strange side effect, though? Since there is only one episode left, and it's a good'un, I'd like to take this time to nominate for Most disappointing episode: Episode 17 (The one after Leland dies S 2.10) We spend half its runtime wrapping up the show, only to reveal that it intends on keeping Cooper in Twin Peaks for bureaucratic reasons. It's an episode with many good scenes, but you can instantly tell that the show has no material left and it's trying to buy time. Most wretched episode: Episode 24 (Wounds and Scars S 2.17) Josie's death (in the preceding episode) marks the end of the last remaining side plot that has been set up by the pilot. You can't blame Harry for being sad, but it's not exactly fun to watch. The rest of our time is spent with John Justice Wheeler serenading us, Dick saving Ghostwood with hijinks, and Windom Earle ineptly pretending to be other people. The only things I truly like are Cooper hugging Harry, and Andy as a model with that deer in headlights look. Worst of all, the following episodes 25 and 26 are nearly as uneventful. The only reason I wouldn't call them equally bad is because Gordon actually manages to breathe some life into this dying show. Could I get a screenshot from Episode 27 of - A "horse" approaching - The closed diner at the end after Cooper kisses Annie - The empty school corridor right after that - Glastonbury Grove, wide shot as BOB's arm begins emerging (the shot before he actually appears) from Episode 28 of - Windom Earle's motor oil grin, please?

The repeating bit of various townspeople (including Coop!) suffering that alien hand movement and their clear concern over it, culminating in Bob forcing his way back into our reality arm first was absolutely masterful. It a spoiler for the finale but I do love the way the two villains of the season finally meet in the Black Lodge and Bob just immediately does away with Earle who not only doesn't interest him but is standing in the way of HIS revenge on Cooper. Earle's increasing lunacy is fun but also proves the lie to Cooper's constant refrains about how he's a genius whose mind they can't understand: he's just a lunatic who is making up the rules as he goes along to suit him. The absolute best part from him comes in the archival footage from Project Bluebook, where he's enthusiastically if madly spelling out his understanding of the Black Lodge - there's something about the way it is shot, the grainy footage coupled with him face taking up most of the frame etc, that gives it a really unsettling vibe of a guy with a mental illness on drugs raving his stream of consciousness, which is pretty much what it actually is. Major Briggs having a happy wander through the forest in full uniform always cracks me up, as well as how he doesn't seem all THAT surprised at a guy in a horse costume approaching him from out of nowhere. Leo being smart enough to steal the trigger for the shock collar but not quite figuring out that it is the collar that electrocutes him is a lovely touch. Also I'm glad the Giant isn't a fan of beauty contests either and is madly trying to wave off Annie taking part in such a backwards tradition. Pete being kind of mad outside the fireplace always strikes me as bizarre, like he's been drinking or something, but then the episode ends on that lovely note of him offering to take Audrey fishing, so that's nice

I'm unsure whether it's intentional or just a strange side effect, though? I believe this is because the remote's lights are internally lit, so they hold steady while the rest of the scene is lit only by the strobe.

I've missed you, TP thread  I'm going to sorta tell you why I've not really been able to participate/post much the last several months, feel free to skip to the tl;dr if you wany!First off, I am so, so, so sorry I had to kind of... vanish when this whole thing kinda started up - my "real life" got in the way, more or less, and I simply ceased to maintain the ability to just... peacefully watch something, and be able to properly think about it and write about. My living situation just really did not allow me the space or the ability to *consistently* do that in any remotely reasonable way anymore, and it was getting more tense and stressful each and every day. So I had to get out of there, and since I've lived almost my entire life in Maine (barring a couple years) I also wanted to get the hell out of the state! Lucky for me, a very good and longtime friend of mine (actually a goon) offered to let me crash here - it was a VERY kind and amazing gesture which probably saved my life and sanity - I'm trying to be a fantastic guest and do lots of cleaning/cooking/chores/etc... Anyway, LA is perfect for me and cheaper than Portland in a lot of cities/neighborhoods here, and I love it here and never want to suffer another Maine winter again, heh. I visited here and stayed for a while as a trial run, and that really went well. So I went home, put most of my possessions in storage or gave them away/threw them away, got my various affairs in order, and got ready to leave! Needless to say, getting in your car with whatever life essentials you have managed to stuff into it and just.. driving the 3200 miles across the full breadth of the country from Maine to Los Angeles alone (but for the company of my beloved cat/traveling companion Jackie) is a pretty drat intense thing - I took it slow and made it there in 7 days, which I'm honestly a bit embarrassed about it, but goddamn was it a long drive! So I am finally settled in a bit here in LA - amusingly, I currently live on sort of... the outskirts of the region called the "Inland Empire", and I can't quite get used to it being a simple geographical term here without much more meaning. The uh... "vibe" here certainly has a bit of an eerie, Lynchian feel. Everything looks gorgeous and beautiful, the weather is perfect nearly every day, etc etc... But you look closer, and there's this venal sickness sort of lurking under the surface. For instance, I was walking the other day and walking across a sort of overpass - It's a gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky, a cool breeze smelling very faintly of the ocean, and the road and sidewalk is beautifully maintained, and I'm sipping an iced coffee and it's just a lovely morning. I look down and over, I see that I'm actually quite high up and there is another road beneath me, and even THAT road overpasses a flood control channel. I have a weird thing for vertical-ish city designs. I make my way down and around to the road beneath mine, and I notice everything is shabbier, and the breeze is gone. I walk further down, and I see that the entire area under here is a "tent city" of homeless people. I see people nodding out - one guy is openly huffing an aerosol can of air, and the tents are packed together perfectly so as not to be visible from the overpass I was on. The stench of stale urine, and unwashed human is overpowering by now and unlike anything else I've ever encountered. It was so shocking to find that lurking under there, on an otherwise beautiful day. Reminded me of the man behind Winky's in Mulholland Drive. But otherwise, LA is fantastic and great. I have so, SO many great films that I can properly see in their original print. For example, tomorrow night I am going to a screening of freaking Sunset Boulevard at the TCL Chinese Theater!!! I mean, good GOD if you had told me I'd even have that opportunity (let alone be able to follow through with it) and see one of the most classic and great films of all time in like the PALACE of Hollywood movie culture. And if you told me it was only $12.50 a ticket, well... That would shock me almost as much. I think this screening *might* top the midnight showing of Raging Bull I went to at Tarantino's own theater, we shall see. Part of me is especially intrigued to watch this film in a *classic theater* almost as warm-up for Season 3, because it just.... feels pertinent. Who knows if I'll ever get a chance to see this film again in a place like this! tl;dr - I moved across the country to LA and my life is better now yay So, I am sorry for going off a little bit there, but I felt I owed some sort of explanation. I'm very very very sad I missed so much of the rewatch, but I am *thrilled* that I showed up in time for the finale of season 2. I really had some great things to say about the Ben Horne Civil War subplot, too... And David Duchovny's guest spot is so legendary, he REALLY looked good back then and had great acting chemistry with Lynch. Regardless, I may share some of these thoughts as I catch up with you guys a bit; I may be belated but I am sincerely looking forward to this still

I miss LA sometimes, but every time I go back to California (even the Bay Area now) I get a bit of that same feeling you describe. That it's all artificial and synthetic, that humans just aren't quite capable of making a simulation that mimics reality well enough and California is what you get when the Matrix is perfect except for the glitches. When I was in college a friend of mine and I had a "thing" for Titanic when it was first released, our ritual was to blow off studying and AMa95 TA section and go to watch Titanic in the Chinese Theater (Mann's at the time). I'm not sure why we kept going back but she kept suggesting it and we must have seen it like 5 times, no wonder I failed that class Also saw a few Disney premieres at the El Capitan. That was even better in some ways. Anyway glad you're back, just in time for TP to get good again

The only major benefit to living in California is that you can make it a living research project to just exist in it, much like NYC or elsewhere. The valley is moderately racist suburbs and cities with salmon pink strip malls built up around former railroad depots, the ones with universities in them are a little better (sometimes). the coasts are an interesting blending from north to south. A lot of southerners migrated to the valley and the eastern foothills after the civil war, while a lot of the coasts were settled earlier by merchants and european settlements. And los angeles exploded in size and importance after the earthquake and fire destroyed san francisco (along with its port and shipping abilities). The focus on the gold rush in California has often made me think about lynch and his use of gold. I know it has metaphoric qualities for him, but...I wonder what does he think all these people out here are panning for. Then there’s pyrite of course. Anyway, welcome to the state! and, it sounds like an even better state of mind. Also welcome back to the thread! I too haven’t kept up very well. Maybe part of me just wants to rewatch S3. The finale build up is very good though. I wish they had been able to do more of this during the original run.

If you are watching the blu-rays, there are a couple of cast interviews from the previous disk that are relevant to these episodes. Kimmie Robertson mentioned how she got hate mail from people who couldn't believe she would do a split like that while pregnant since they were worried about her hurting the baby (she wasn't pregnant in real life). Best was Don Davis saying how he cut a huge fart falling to the ground after getting tranq'ed by Windom Earl (after eating beans from a taco truck) and scaring off a cute PA.And More posted:
Also, if Annie and Audrey are connected, they are wearing pretty much the same thing at the end of the Miss Twin Peaks pageant. And they are the only ones we actually hear give a speech, right? No Shelly or Donna if I remember. quote:- Interesting that major Briggs seems nearly aware that he's named after Judy Garland when high on haloperidol.
