FWWM was a bad movie, an uneven mess that not even Lee's performance could salvage it. Re-watching it again recently only made me feel even more hostile towards it. There's some good scenes and I like that it was explored further with Leland being tormented by his demons (BOB) and the suffering Laura had to endure. The bad "spirits" from the Black Lodge make more metaphorical sense than what was suggested from the TV show. I know the film had to be cut down from 5 or 6 hours worth, but the editing was poorly done. Oh and Donna was a total miscast. Overall it was a terrible misfire from Lynch, who is pretty inconsistent in my world (Mulholland Dr is like in my top 3 favorite films, that being said). Love the original series except of course that disastrously awful run of S2 episodes up to and including the Windom Earle arc. The new series probably is not going to be anything like the original, for better or worse. As long as Lynch/Frost have much more creative control over the project it'll be pretty drat good, but I'm not exactly expecting a total nostalgic revisit of the original series (a good thing). I'm glad Angelo is back to scoring the new series. Confounding Factor fucked around with this message at 07:26 on May 20, 2017 |

It's like Mulholland Drive meets Eraserhead and Lost Highway and Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks rolled up in one. Love everything I am seeing so far. It doesn't feel like Twin Peaks at all but I prefer the direction of this more.

Philthy posted:Twin Peaks (The town) feels like it's waiting to be released. I think this is intentional and it'll throw us in when Agent Cooper gets out. If not? I wont be disapointed with hours and hours of more Lost Mulholland Highway cuz holy poo poo yes. Exactly that's my favorite Lynch. I'm mindblown by how good this is so far. And we get 18 episodes of Lynch mindfucking us. I know there are going to be diehard fans that think, so far, this doesn't resemble the original series much, as it lacks the campy goofy poo poo. My only concern is there are too many characters suffocating and not fleshed out a bit if that makes sense. Jesus there's what over 200 people in the cast, it's nuts. Even that said these two parts have been flawless. I'll wait til next week to see 3+4.

How clever of a bastard is Lynch? Naomi Watts has to take care of someone again who has memory loss issues. Brilliant.

Exploder posted:This episode felt a lot more like classic Twin Peaks than the previous four episodes. Frankly, I think we needed it. I'm digging everything about this so far. I dunno the scenes that recall the old TP vibe feel forced. There just seems to be too many characters and it's suffocating the episodes a bit.

The Merkinman posted:How do you feel about the number of locations? LOL. Yeah I guess we could include the locations too. But the bizarre thing is after watching Episode 5 it seems like all the loose threads are slowly starting to come together, but then we get a new puzzle piece that doesn't fit yet like the what's in Argentina and a few of the new characters.

So wait I'm confused, do we know Briggs definitively died 25 years ago? We know that he went to his listening station and a fire was started there in which he was supposedly killed. The fire might've been started to cover up his abduction by Doppleganger Cooper and Jeffries or someone else, or it might've been started by Briggs himself to fake his own death and flee from them in order keep his wife and Bobby out of danger. He could've wound up in the Black Lodge or somewhere similar himself for a period of time. Remember, Cooper saw his face in the void whispering, "Blue rose!".

So I stumbled into reading this:quote:Well, an interesting observation someone made in another thread is this, the gold ball Dougie dissolved into? It's probably a pearl. After Mike picks it up, he walks over to the formica table, and guess what the bottom of the table is shaped like? A clam. This definitely fits in a roundabout way with what we know. I didn't notice the shape of the Formica table being like a clam, but I also likened the little gold ball Dougie dissolved into being pearl-like. Part of Dougie was vile black energy from Bob. Part was the gold pearl. From Coop? Does Mike need to get that back to Coop to make him whole again? Is that what he means when he tells Coop he was tricked? By entering our plane the way he did, did he lose part of himself, and render himself more helpless and easily dispatched by Bob's minions, leaving Bob the only one of the Coopers who will survive, since one of the two has to go?

I hated Dougie at first but I'm starting to fall in love with the character. There's gotta be some deeper critique Lynch is making about petty surburban life. Epsiode 6 was brilliant and had great pacing. I think this season is shaping up to be superior to the original in every way. Watch Lynch troll everyone hoping for the return of Agent Coop and he shows up only in the final two episodes of the season.

Solice Kirsk posted:The biggest complaint I've heard is that there's no room for any characters to grow because each episode introduces 6 more and two more plot lines. Personally, I love it because I know not everything is going to be tied up or together and I'm interested in seeing how this all plays out. We're a third of the way through and Lynch is still setting the table. I'm assuming the last few episodes are gonna be jaw dropping. I absolutely agree with that complaint and its a legitimate one. Strangely it doesn't detract from my overall enjoyment of this series. If the focus can stay on a few major characters and an overarching plotline then I don't care how many killed-off-in-1-episode characters or red herring plots they introduce. Those sort of spontaneous, wacky, weird poo poo works perfectly in Twin Peaks.

Ginette Reno posted:I kinda wish this was released all at once because it feels like a show that should be binge watched. Ep6 didn't feel like it was all that self contained. It felt like a pretty arbitrarily broken up hour of TV. I still liked it of course, but dang if it didn't feel incomplete without ep7 to immediately follow it. Yep exactly. They should have released the whole thing at once. I have so much other poo poo im watching at the moment that whatever minor details I should have remembered for the future episodes are long gone by now. I vaguely remember a few scenes from the first part, it feels like I watched it months ago lol.

Came across this bit of criticism the other day:quote:A collection of rambling and samey set pieces amateurishly glued together by a frankly adolescent conviction that weirdness in any form hey, lets not bother with a plot can pass for clever and interesting, it should never have been made (and, having poked about online, I detect weariness setting in even among those who hailed its promise at the start). People love to talk The X-Files blah, True Detective blah of the influence Twin Peaks has had on television in the years since it first screened (1990-91). But this is silly, overstated. Television changes for myriad reasons, and is changing still, thanks to Netflix. That Lynch seems neither to know of these changes nor to care does not make him a hero, or even an auteur. It makes him a fool, and a dinosaur. I like the show precisely because of those reasons.
