Raxivace posted:The correct order to view Twin Peaks in is actually Blue Velvet > Fire Walk With Me > The International Version of the Pilot > Any given Let's Play of Silent Hill 2 > Deadly Premonition (Xbox 360 version) > Eraserhead > Inland Empire I know it's not part of your recommendation, but I also recommend actually watching Twin Peaks, and watching episodes of Dumbland instead of James' side plot.

notthegoatseguy posted:So Michael J Anderson (Man from Another Place) has apparently gone completely off the deep end and is trashing TP and Lynch on social media. His Facebook is full of pro-Trump stuff and its unfortunate that he won't be a part of the show. Sounds like it was a wise decision to not let him be part of the third season, then. I think it's extremely fotunate. The Unlife Aquatic posted:Here's hoping it's like FWWM meets Lost Highway. FWWM meets Twin Peaks would be more up my alley, to be honest. I'd also dig Mulholland Drive meets Wild at Heart, if that's an option.

PoshAlligator posted:Is American Gods "weird" like this at all? Or is it more Supernatural-esque weird? Any other reccs for similar shows to Twin Peaks and Hannibal by anyone? Lars von Trier's Kingdom is pretty good. However, it also ends on a cliffhanger, just like Twin Peaks did. American Gods is a lot more grounded than Hannibal was, but since it's made by the same guy, there are a lot of similar aesthetic choices.

Lord Krangdar posted:Well they notice he's acting like he had a stroke or accident. His wife seems to not really realize anything is wrong. Could be just a weird choice, or maybe she's part of the decoy plan set up by evil Cooper too. From the moment Coop left the lodge, he's had crazy good luck. Jade, the limousine driver and Dougie's wife are basically guardian angels. They don't really behave like normal people because their purpose is to protect Cooper, not to be rational. I don't think there is anything sinister going on.

kaworu posted:I think it's representative of how much more sensitive everyone has become to all sorts of things than they were 25 years ago. Back then, people still would let their kids play outside alone for hours, and kids were more independent - there weren't even cell-phones so parents could always get in touch with them or vice versa. Laura's abuse and subsequent downfall would have happened in an extremely different manner now than the way it occurred then. The shift of both technology and perception and overall public consciousness has been fairly extreme as a result of the digital age. This doesn't really ring true. In the short scenes at the Sheriff's Department, we get news of a teen seemingly overdosing in the classroom. People appear utterly blind to the horrible things happening right in front of them. It doesn't really matter how well we seem to be connected. quote:And now I'm reminded of the odd "problem" that Lucy has with cell-phones, and how she simply just *cannot* adjust to the fact that people can be mobile and talking on the telephone at the same time, since her entire world (as we saw it last) revolved around working with the clumsy limitations of the telephone. And her perception of that apparently is unable too adjust. Makes me wonder what Cooper's adjustment will be like, ultimately. Now, this is a good example of how things have changed. Lucy can't adapt to the disconnect between sound and place that happens when someone walks around with their phone. They may sound like they're in one place, but they might actually be driving or walking, and you wouldn't be able to tell. Conversely, Gordon can have a whispered conversation with Albert, but god forbid Albert actually takes a step. Technology changes things, but it also deceives us in certain ways. I think Coop will be fine, though. He's always been able to marvel at and adapt to weird things. A very fancy tape recorder is probably not going to break his mind (any more than it already is). Your essay posts are fun to read, btw.

genericnick posted:Sounds like bullshit. Did that actually happen to anyone we know? Leland only got possessed. Look at you doubting Hawk's authority.  I always figured Coop got set up for failure. He was prepared to face Windom Earle, but it turned out that there were worse things waiting for him inside the lodge. This is why we get scenes of the doppelgangers chuckling at their little game. It's all going according to plan. Still, Cooper got screwed over, but he didn't get utterly destroyed like his old partner.

Franchescanado posted:His first response is to run away to the entrance. He wants to get the gently caress out. That's kind of misrepresenting how that sequence goes, though. BOB tells Cooper to leave, after taking Earle's soul. Coop is followed by his doppelganger who chases him to the exit. He isn't running away because he's afraid, he's running away because he's leaving.

NObodyNOWHERE posted:I think that's a stretch. He's walking until he sees he's being followed and then he hauls rear end. He also shows a fear response and runs off when shadow Laura starts screaming at him earlier, as I recall. His doppelganger isn't actually confronting him, though. He's hiding behind the curtain, and Cooper only notices him when looking back. The doppelganger's trying to get to the exit first without the real version noticing. I think Cooper hauls rear end because he knows that, if he is too slow, the doppelganger leaves, and not he. Shadow Laura is a weird one, I'll grant you that. Cooper looks pretty freaked out by her, but then it seems like getting out of dodge doesn't do him any harm. Notably, we get a fear response with Laura, but not with his actual doppelganger. Even Leland doesn't seem to freak Cooper out as much.

NObodyNOWHERE posted:I think you're likely making retroactive revisions here. How would Cooper know anything about these rules that were just explained to him in S3? Fairly sure I thought this after watching season two for the first time.  Maybe I phrased it wrong. I didn't mean know in the sense that someone actually told Cooper what would happen. My assumption was that he figures bad poo poo is about to happen, and he should leave.quote:If the doppelganger was trying to sneak out then he would have just left when Cooper was distracted by any number of different things in the lodge. I certainly didn't see any hiding going on. This is what I mean. The doppelganger doesn't step out entirely until Cooper has left, too.  The lodge also doesn't operate on real-world logic. Otherwise, the dancing man would probably not cartoonishly rub his hands together when he tries to poison Cooper. quote:"Cooper, you may be fearless in this world. But there are other worlds. Worlds beyond life and death. Worlds beyond scientific reality." Shouldn't he have been utterly destroyed, then? Hawk said so.

NObodyNOWHERE posted:You're welcome to interpret things however you please, obviously. […] That said, in this case it seems odd to me to build a narrative of Coop as a kick-rear end superhero […]. Seriously, one of the things I love about the lodge scenes in the finale was that Cooper was clearly in over his head for the first time and frightened by the things he saw. This was a bad bad trip for Cooper. The demolition of Cooper as a Mary Sue into an actual human hero is way more interesting to me than keeping him invincible and flawless. I don't know where you're getting that superhero stuff from, but I think we can agree that Cooper hosed up when he a) failed to stop Earle from kidnapping Annie b) was dumb enough to follow him into the lodge It was a very human, selfish thing to do, and it had some pretty dire consequences for the rest of the world. Whether Cooper showed fear or not doesn't really make a difference because he gets played like a fiddle by BOB, either way. Rewatching the scene with shadow Laura, interestingly, Cooper doesn't start running until Windom Earle's face flashes in front of his eyes. Of all the things he sees in the lodge, Earle himself seems like the one person Cooper is truly afraid of. That's probably why he gives up his soul so willingly. He genuinely thinks he doesn't stand a chance against Earle. quote:I really want to hear how Cooper describes his experience, so it would be nice if he'd sort himself out, soon.

NObodyNOWHERE posted:You think Cooper is scared of Windom Earle, but not Bob and the other lodge inhabitants? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, he probably realises that he overestimated Earle and underestimated BOB when Earle gets his brain fried. Cooper just doesn't get a reason to fear BOB because he technically lets Coop go.

GimpChimp posted:I'm kind of interested that Evil Cooper starts out on top of things with setting up Hastings and Dougie but does obviously a loving horrible job appearing remotely normal to Cole and Albert. I get the impression that there's internal tension between Cooper the host as intelligent and perceptive mask of sanity and BOB the psychotic id parasite. Seems like he did just about everything he could to attract attention. I've got a sneaking suspicion that bad Coop got caught on purpose. Franchescanado posted:Also, is Denise worried that Gordon is going to try and gently caress the female FBI agent? Because that's what I thought that whole conversation was: "She's young and pretty Gordon, you have a reputation. What are you doing trying to bring her along?" Yeah, that's the impression I got, too. Maybe that was a reference to him making out with Shelly?

kaworu posted:I thought the guy in the booth (Robert Horne, really? As in Audrey's son probably maybe?) was kinda channeling Frank Booth a bit. And I did not intend that pun, but maybe someone did? Though it came off less creepy and more downright brutal, but that's creepy in its own right. Especially at the roadhouse where most Twin Peaks fans watching regard as a more or less "safe" place. Was a bit of a fakeout really with the way Lynch ended the last 3 episodes! I remember David Lynch specifically mentioning that he wasn't going to bother writing or editing for a TV format. He left it up to Showtime how and when they wanted to end each episode. quote:It's funny because my favorite fantasy series growing up (which I regularly re-read) is Ursula K. L Guin's Wizard of Earthsea series. There are 5 novels and a collection of stories in the series, but the first one is the one most have read or remember clearly. It's a fairly archetypal story of a young man who is a talented, but jealous and arrogant student of wizardry/magic (this was decades before Harry Potter and a very different kind of story), He winds up performing a very powerful spell that he cannot control, and in doing so sets loose a sort of metaphysical shadow of himself - the shadow is everything negative about the protagonist made manifest, and it pursues him ceaselessly in an attempt to take over his body and use it for extremely evil purposes. Sound familiar? While I could imagine something similar happening, I really hope Cooper isn't just a vegetable for the next five to ten episodes. The show itself has started getting impatient with him. Even Naomi Watts shouted at Dougie until he got out of her car. Earthsea is a great series, though. I particularly love the second book with it's useless protagonist getting stuck in a dark maze. Kind of like Cooper, actually. It's a real shame that there hasn't been a single good adaptation of them. Even Miyazaki left Earthsea for his son to screw up.

Personally, I like to just watch stuff and see what sticks, at least the first time around. Getting super analytical right off the bat tends to take me out of the experience. Also, this is a lot easier to watch than Inland Empire or FWWM, so binging it is fun rather than anxiety inducing.
