Speaking of Windham Earle seeming like a 60's Batman villain, there's a scene in season 2 of Josie on the phone, and there's this sideways camera angle that's straight out of a 60's Batman episode. It's completely out of place and never happens again in the series. I can't remember the exact scene off-hand, but it's really stark. Anyone remember which scene?

Kawalimus posted:Show Spoilers through the end. But I didn't know you needed these on pg 19 of a show thread but I don't know these things. Well, it's funny cause they get put on the trail of the wrong dudes because they have the same names as the right dudes. That never happens in TV shows, you know? But I also think Bobby-- and Mike in the first season, probably not the second-- is kind of like Bob on a mundane scale. The selfishness, deceit, violence, the ultimate goal of getting ahead in every situation or interaction, that you see in Bobby, is taken to the ultimate extreme in Bob. Or it's what Bob embodies, I guess. I'm grasping at straws a lil here but I do think one of the great themes of the show is how the profound spiritual evil of Bob is also the underlying logic of power and success, which are also the two things that Bobby most wants. Ben Horne's whole character and the identity of Bob's host push that conclusion real hard I think, and Bobby treating Ben as a role model is part of that. Man I don't really know what to spoiler tag here, since so much of it is revealed in the first couple episodes but makes no sense until you understand the context later. Which also is cool to me.

ALSO, while I don't like Earle much at all, the scene where he "sneaks up" on someone by walking up to them in broad daylight wearing the world's worst-crafted horse costume almost completely redeems him

Lycus posted:They didn't really, though, right? When Cooper first says the names, the Sheriff considers Mike and Bobby, but Cooper immediately says "No, different Mike, different Bob." Maybe it was just to briefly mess with audience and make you think you figured it out until Cooper sets you straight. Mike and Bobby were locked up for a bit, but it was before Cooper's dream. Though interestingly while they're locked up for a bit they bark and screech at James in the other cell. Which is an interesting parallel to Bob and Mike's vicious feral natures

So I just started catching up with this on Netflix. I had unfortunately, already spoiled it for myself on a late night wikipedia fest years ago but the execution is much better than I had anticipated. That said it seems to me they heavily imply that Laura has been possessed by BOB. Even if you overlook the cocaine, whoring, and sleeping with Jacque Renault you still have James telling Cooper that Laura asked him in the woods one night if he'd like to "meet bob and play with fire" as well as looking extremely demonic when they show the other girls flashback of Laura's murder when she wakes up in the hospital at the end of S2:E1. Googling it there is no mention of it happening to her, only to Leland being her killer. Just wondering if anyone else got that impression or if I should just shut up and finish the series (which I will anyways).

The casting call is genuine, at least. I was at an interview panel hosted by Esmé Bianco (Ros from Game of Thrones) and when one of the audience members asked her if there was a director she'd like to work with, she referred to the news that David Lynch coming back to Twin Peaks. That was on Sunday 1/5 and she does fit the casting description. She seemed to move on from that pretty quickly when she realized the audience hadn't heard about it.

I just got my DVD boxset back two years after lending it to a friend. However I might hold off rewatching it for the Blu-rays. Maybe they'll offer a "None of that lovely James/Rich lady bullshit" cut.

Pretty sure the drugs et al were an attempt to "run away" or avoid BOB, either in a literal sense or (bigger spoiler for things only hinted at in the series and more explicitly stated in the movie)to deal with the sexual abuse at the hands of her BOB-father. Laura was never possessed by Bob, just traumatized by the sexual and psychological abuse. The show in general is an extended metaphor for sexual abuse, I wouldn't try to find a logical throughline for BOB possession because in typical Lynch fashion, sometimes there isn't a logical path. I mean, there was something going on with Laura -- when Donna puts on her sweater or something (forget precisely what) at the club in FWWM, Laura freaks out ... and then when Donna later wears Laura's sunglasses, she kind of "acts" like Laura, being more of a "bad girl" (albeit a bad girl in the mode of the Pink Ladies from Grease)

He wanted her pain and sorrow-- the garmonbozia-- of which Laura had a great deal. She refused, and then in the end, doesn't the one-armed man slip her the ring that prevents possession? So Bob (as Leland) kills her out of frustration. As for what Bob is, I don't think there's a definitive answer. He is a demon, who posses owls when he is not possessing people to cause and collect pain and sorrow. I always think about that scene with Harry, Cooper, Briggs, and Albert after Bob kills Leland. They wonder what Bob is? Is Leland just crazy? Is he really a demon? Is he on the loose now that he has released himself from Leland? Is he the embodiment of "the evil that men do"? Then Briggs quotes Hamlet -- "there's more to heaven and earth than is dreamt of in our philosophy", which leads me to believe that we are not supposed to have a definitive answer. I think the questions are more important than the answer. Also, Ray Wise dropped a little spoiler. They did film new stuff for the Blu-Ray release. "Something special" or "something big" that "[he's] probably not supposed to talk about." edit: Here's the link http://www.nerdist.com/2014/01/ray-wise-seemingly-confirms-new-twin-peaks-footage-shot-by-david-lynch/ escape artist fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jan 12, 2014 |

I just rewatched Fire Walk With Me for the first time in years, and had almost forgotten how dark and disturbing it is. I still absolutely love it though, and feel like I'm still able to decipher most of it. The monkey is kind of a wild-card though, but I think it had something to do with Bowie's character?

The thing about deciphering it is the fact that a shitload was cut, so who knows if its something that was answered in a cut scene. I really hope the blu-ray has the movie, cut scenes, and whatever they just filmed.

Hearing about the 25th anniversary of that episode makes me realize its been almost 20 years since my insane summer camp counselor showed his bunkhouse full of 10-11 year olds Twin Peaks. We watched two episodes each night(it was a "reward" for good behavior), and we did get pretty hooked by the end. My point in telling the story is that we were in the middle of nowhere in the woods with very little light besides flashlights. The guys used the one outlet in his room to run an extension cord for the TV/VCR combo he had. It wasn't unusual to have to take a flashlight and walk in pitch dark to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Needless to say experiencing Twin Peaks in those circumstances made quite an impression on me.

There were absolutely owls in the woods, the camp is in Maryland so no pine trees but still it was loving dark woods that a kid could theoretically just walk into and disappear. We were like 30 minutes by car from any real civilization.

I just watched Fire Walk With Me and it was awesome! I put if off because I was afraid it would be crap, but I enjoyed it at least as much as the series, if not more. It's a shame the other three movies were never made, because it answers some really big questions but makes me really curious about other things.
