I feel like I can't make fun of the silly goons that missed the two coffee cups because I totally missed the dead bodies at the farm myself the first time through. That Unsolved Mysteries thing owns though.

I really think it's interesting in episode 9 that as horribly mutilated as Garland's body is, or how dark the comedy of Albert flirting with a woman over the dude's remains are, his actual values and general positivity are still held up as worthwhile and noble. The scene with Bobby and his mother talking about how Garland never stopped believing in him is genuinely moving. He hangs over the series in a strangely warm way. EDIT: Like a lesser version of this show would have used how terrible Briggs' death was as a rebuke of his values. Raxivace fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Jul 12, 2017 |

I honestly think Deadly Premonition plays fine, at least on the PS3 version. Just running around Greenvale, seeing where random NPC's go around to etc. is fun. The combat sections are basically watered down Resident Evil 4 but it's not the worst thing in the world.

Also it's weird watching Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones back to back with how different their approaches to narrative, even in a light episode like episode 10, are.

I mean I guess it's also a sequel to the series but it feels more in the spirit of FWWM, even with recent silliness.

I like how there were just enough kernels of goodness to Bobby in the original series that it makes him being an honest lawman 25 years later actually believable.

The fact that it was specifically a boxing match on Sarah's TV makes me wonder if we're supposed to connect that to "Battling Bud" and by extension Cooper.

WAIT A SECOND Is the sound at the beginning of each "loop" of Sarah's TV the same sound that the Giant told Cooper to listen in the first episode? The same one that he said is "in our house now"?

I gotta say I like Bud a lot. It's like the Straight Story side of Lynch coming in through the head of an insurance agency of all things. I hope he defeats Mr. C in the ring.

Look it's not that bad. If Richard asks his local lord nicely enough he might be able to be formally recognized as a proper Horne and gain a proper claim to the Great Northern.

I'm betting Criterion will get their hands on Lost Highway at some point. Probably INLAND EMPIRE too, but well I'm still not sure that's a film I actually ever want to revisit.

I'm really wondering how FWWM will look in a post-The Return world. Stuff like the Woodsmen scene are going to feel different, and I still have no idea what to make of that ending bit with Cooper reaching out for Laura.

Yeah as much as I like the music in the original series it can be seriously overbearing in a bad way at times, particularly with how often that one part of Laura's Theme is overused in the first few episodes.

Everything in The Return hearkens back to a central idea- the passage of time. It isn't just a cute a nod to the "I'll see you in 25 years" line from the original show- what it means for such a large amount of time to pass is the unifying crux of the entire season. How and why people have or haven't changed, and what that means. Problems the past generations couldn't solve coming back to haunt and burden those in the present. The way society would prefer to forget about those who have aged or deteriorated, even if they once may have been charming and charismatic people we loved. It all may not be quite as actively plot driven as the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer in the original series, but there's a very much a point to what's on screen.

Murderist posted:I think the last Audrey scene was meant to imply that she's a fictional character just barely recognizing that she's a fictional character and that the narrative is beyond her (our) control and I won't be surprised at all if she doesn't appear at all for the rest of the series. Come to think of it there's that creepy line from Sarah too: "God drat bad story, isn't it Hawk?"

I dunno what to make of it, but it was kind of a random line that makes me wonder if we'll start seeing more references to "story" like that in these last few episodes. IOW Murderist might be on to something- their take is one I hadn't heard before at least.
