It has a lot of nudity, but then it immediately makes you feel awful for enjoying it

Because it took me so long to actually watch Twin Peaks Season 1 and 2 (just before The Return came out!), I had like 25 years of remembering that reaction to Fire Walk With Me when it came out was brutal, with people saying it was terrible and retroactively made Twin Peaks worse. I was kind of dreading watching it, but figured I might as well be a completionist. I don't know what people 30 years ago were smoking (crack) but they're insane. FWWM is loving incredible.

FWWM is brutal but goddamn is it an incredible film and makes Twin Peaks better retroactively.

I assume the drastic tone shift and absolute refusal to resolve season 2's cliffhanger pissed people off, but once you accept it on its own terms (easier when you know there is eventually a third season) then it works a lot better. I had a similar reaction, and FWWM got me over the slump of the dreck in season 2 to finish the series. It does have some issues (I wish Cooper could have been in the first half more) but yeah it's an all timer

Having watched Twin Peaks as a teenager when it originally aired, I was monumentally pissed off that I couldn't quite pass for 18 to see FWWM at the cinema when it was released. Rented it on video as soon as it became available, and the experience was... deflating. I'd seen all of Lynch's films up to that point, and it was no surprise that this was more in his usual style than the TV version could have been, but it was such a tonal shift that I felt a little robbed. This was almost certainly going to be the last couple of hours we spent in that world, so why not give us more of what we want rather than a swerve into what is pretty much a straight-up horror movie? Of course, on a second viewing, it became and remains my favourite of his films. If it had some of the missing scenes in there originally it might have softened its reception a bit, but stripping it down to be more focused is what works for it, I think. It did get a lot of stick for being incomprehensible to people who haven't seen the series, but as valid as that is, why would you start with FWWM?

I might have been peeved if I was an OG Twin Peaks fan and got a film that didn't resolve the cliffhanger at all. But in a world where Season 3 exists, FWWM is just perfect. It's one of my favorite Lynch films in it's own right but it also serves as a great transition from old Peaks to new.

Yeah, Twin Peaks was huge and a lot of people only knew of Lynch through that. Seeing FWWM after their weird quirky tv show was probably a big shock, especially since there was barely any Cooper and he was a big part of why people liked the show.

if original twin peaks is about the dark and ugly sickness hiding underneath the idyllic surface of mayberry usa, as blue velvet was, the return shows us a place where it's no longer hidden. the veneer has disintegrated, and the sickness is out and spreading.

I watched Tall Men (2016) last night because I heard about it on a podcast somewhere a while back and happened to stumble across it while trying to find something to watch. It’s the most Lynchian thing I think I’ve ever seen not made by the man himself, and I just needed to tell somebody. That’s not necessarily a recommendation, but if anyone on the planet is going to appreciate this sort of no-budget schlock it’d be Twin Peaks fans. It feels like if eraserhead was first made in 2006 with a consumer DSLR. Also it has nothing to do with slender man, I think whoever did the marketing/poster just went in that direction to capitalize on the craze at the time.

I just started the Secret History and have a question for those who followed the release since it first dropped. Was this book promoted as a lead-in for The Return or as an alternate perspective to the world we already knew? What was the reception for this when it came out? Were people well aware that season 3 was right around the corner? I’m probably not saying anything new here but I think the construction and layout of the book itself is really well done, and the material so far really hits the spot. More twin peaks, and I am really happy about that.

Like "this is what Frost was doing while Lynch was off making the series". People were kind of dismissive. The layout is cool though, and some of it tied in well to the new series.

Yeah, I have both Secret History and Final Dossier, and I think they're well-done and I enjoyed reading them, but it's hard for them to keep anyone's attention when Lynch is like "they don't matter, I haven't looked at them."

I think they're good reading for after you've seen season 3. Definitely not essential, and certainly no masterpieces, but they clear up some things that were left intentionally vague in the series (and I've no doubt Lynch might have preferred them left that way). Also some interesting character backstories and local history that you had no way of knowing from the series alone. I think I've actually read them through twice.

Finally got my criterion copy of Lost Highway. I had never seen it all the way through, just catching clips hear and there. Definitely have to watch it again to even attempt to interpret this one. Feels like a good transition from Twin Peaks to Mulholland Drive though. Lots of similar shots, and themes shared between the three.

None of them IMO. It’s fun to spend more time with those characters and the world they live in, for sure. But I didn’t walk away from any of them going “this added to the canon in a way that made my experience better”. That said, just read them all, they’re cheap used and fun to have around.

I enjoyed the Mark Frost books a fair amount (though the first more than the second), but in a very different way to Twin Peaks the show. I think they were worthy in their own right, but the connection to Twin Peaks added very little.
