Elias_Maluco posted:One thing that's been bothering me is that conversation Gordon says he had with Cooper and Briggs, when they planned to take out Judy It doesn't make sense either way, Bad Coop had all the memories of Good Coop up until the split, that would mean if Cooper had been in on a plan to destroy Judy he would already have an understanding of what 'Judy' is when he confronts Jeffries. Considering how egregious that seeming retcon is and how it fails to match up with the events shown as well I have to wonder if Gordon was deliberately lying to Albert for reasons unknown.

Also on the subject of Judy, I don't think it and 'Mother' are the same being and Sarah Palmer is possessed by the latter and not the former. BOB and Bad Coop have no idea what Judy is whereas BOB is spawned by Mother and later possessed a young Sarah Palmer with the assistance of the Woodsmen, indicating they're all members of the Black Lodge and on some level aware of each other. Additionally, when Laura is whisked away from Cooper Sarah is still driven wild with rage at Cooper saving her and doesn't seem to be aware or complicit of her being sent to Odessa, where she ends up working at ... Judy's. I think Mother is essentially just the source of the terrible but faintly comprehensible aliens of the Black Lodge whereas Judy is a far more abstract and hard to define concept of suffering, Mother appears as an human-esque avatar and slices up teenagers heads, Judy makes Laura work in a miserable diner and get sexually harassed.

Raxivace posted:It wasn't any romantic interest at any rate. Cooper checks her out pretty hard in S1 and turns her down on the grounds it would be wrong to sleep with her, not that he doesn't want to. He was definitely into her early on in the show.

Jerusalem posted:I kinda love the idea that Laura might be doomed to never be able to be "saved" (in the literal, prevent her being murdered sense) but that Cooper will NEVER stop trying. Ever. It's who he is, and it's sad and beautiful and inspiring that the moment he fails he almost seems to be looking for the next path to take to try again, and he always will. I don't think it's terribly admirable of Coop though, it's exactly the same pattern of behavior he inflicted on Caroline and Annie where they end up paying the price for his well-intentioned hubris. Like Season 3 starts with Laura being snatched from the only measure of peace she's ever had and forced back into the world to be 'saved' by Cooper with predictable results, it's horrible!

regulargonzalez posted:Is it Laura, though? She's kind of zapped upwards in a strange digital effect. We see that effect a few other times, always when it's a tulpa / doppelganger being moved and never with a real person. Do we ever see anyone else get yanked out of the frame like that? But it would basically have to be her regardless as we find out later on that she *is* bought back from the dead from the White Lodge and that's pretty much what the scene is conveying

Jerusalem posted:Well apart from the fact I find the idea that there are actively malevolent forces like Bob out there with no counter-balance incredibly depressing, characters like the Fireman are shown multiple times to be concerned for/worried about trying to help people avoid hardship/pain/horror - the one that stands out the most to me is the Fireman silently pleading with Cooper not to let somebody (Annie?) join the beauty pageant. Also he's called the Fireman (i.e. one who puts out fires), I don't think it's a reach to conclude he has genuinely positive intentions

Borrowed Ladder posted:We never see the White Lodge, but don't we never actually see the Black Lodge either? I've always been under the impression the red room is The Waiting Room, which is not the same thing. I don't believe the Convenience Store is either but you could probably make a better case for it. I thought the Black Lodge was that really gross decaying building used in FWWM and The Return and figured the White Lodge could have been the Black and white art deco cinema in episode 8, more confident on the former than the latter though

The brie baguette scene is one of the best in the entire original run, closely followed by the time they spontaneously break out into swing dancing. The morality of the character aside Jerry is honestly one of the MVPs of the cast

Lost Highway was the only Lynch film I couldn't finish because there was such an oppressive sense of dread in it. I'm not sure what happens but I can tell you something very bad was going to happen in that house

Honestly I love how much dread Lynch can put into filming an empty house, he really understands the foreboding of mundane locations in a way I've seen very few directors even aim for

Escobarbarian posted:Mulholland Drive is amazing and my second favourite film of all time but I don’t see how it takes people multiple views to get it. It’s the only Lynch movie that can really be explained in one sentence and that explanation makes everything slot into place. I guess if you never read anything up online about it it makes sense. Nah, you can do that for nearly all of them. 'There is a woman, in trouble'

I'm glad there's been a critical reappraisal of FWWM, I know it bombed at release for having none of the cosy camp of the TV series but I've always thought of it as one of Lynch's finest that really cut to the heart of what Twin Peaks was really getting at

If it's your first viewing you really should just watch the whole thing, even in the dud section you're still going to see stuff like Denise, the first exploration of what the Black Lodge actually is and the build up to Window Earle. Plus the bad stuff is part of the experience too!

I was watching it live with a friend and I remember getting really uncomfortable around the time Cooper is driving not-Laura to Twin Peaks. Knowing how much of the plot had still to be resolved and how long we were watching this uncomfortable silence instead of addressing any of it was when I realised the ending was going to get weird
