It's going to be strange seeing Twin Peaks set in the 2010's. I mean the police station equipped with flat-screen computers, the business people at meetings in The Great Northern tapping away at I-pads, ect.

I always felt that the townspeople at least felt slight tremors when hideous things happened. Most notably toward the final episode several of the townspeople start having strange uncontrollable twitches in their left hands. I think part of the magic of the show is seeing ordinary country-folk have to deal with/face the darkest of circumstances.

DominoDancing posted:It's just that Lara Flynn-Boyle went overboard with the plastic surgery. Wonder if they would ask the more gracefully-aged Moira Kelly instead? I forgot how drastic the change, if any, in acting between the film and the show was? I remember finding Donna's character much more interesting in the film, she was the only major sympathetic, earthy grounding character in a film filled with damaged and sadistic people. Her end of second-season subplots were incredibly dull.

regulargonzalez posted:One thing to be aware of for the film is that the shooting script is much longer and makes the movie make much more sense -- especially the first half. Some of that is remedied to some degree with the recent re-release that features deleted scenes (though I haven't seen it personally, so can't comment on how much these scenes help and also they are not edited into film but are standalone scenes). Just read the script. It's interesting to read the final scene in which Doc Hayward and Truman find a possessed Cooper laughing on the bloody bathroom floor and still talking about brushing his teeth, finishing the scene from the finale also a greedy nurse in the emergency room taking Annie's Black-Lodge ring for herself, which will probably figure in some way in the plot of the third season.

The Windom Earl character only struck true to me when he was in the black lodge trying to procure a soul. In the forest playing the flute he just seemed far too cartoonish an campy even for TP. All the other T.P villains were multidimensional and its one of the things that made the show.

Yeah, I had the same thoughts about Leland's funeral. I understand how the town could still be in shock, mourning and disbelief but there is often also people who will erase or develop hatred toward the person they once loved who turned out to be hideous. I loved the mystical/surreal elements but before the reveal they were directly twisted into an otherwise secular pot: sex abuse, rape, murder are so traumatic, stupid and senseless that they almost require an extraterrestrial exclamation. The characters even discuss this after Leland's death, the possibility that BOB is simply the perverse side of Leland which ruined his "good" side. The mystical elements became a cause in-and-of themselves afterwards, Windom Earl's cartoonish psychology and motives were only explainable through magic and wizardry. The simple truth is that David Lynch never planned to reveal the killer,nor to write the town's reaction. Like Dune, Twin Peaks is the result of artistic compromise. I still recommend people watch it to the last episode, which to me proves that in Lynch's control things will be amazing and powerful which is why I am so excited about season 3. It promises the exploration of Agent Cooper's dark side, as he had let that part of him be taken over.

Castle Radium posted:It's a shame you have to wait till the finale to get a glimpse of how much more effective the character of Earle could've been under Lynch's direction. In fact it's interesting looking at the original script and seeing all the stuff Lynch took out - Earle originally has a long rambling speech when he's taking Annie into the woods which in the broadcast version is cut down to like three lines of dialogue, and it works so much better. If only they'd played him like that whole time, made his motivations seem more opaque and unknowable, instead of having him constantly jabbering away like a bad impersonation of Frank Gorshin as The Riddler. Very true. Now that you mention it I do realize that the Earl I was expecting, a true unknowable Lynchian villian, was only perceivable in that last episode. Cutting his dialogue and long shots on his face would have been great. crowoutofcontext fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Dec 29, 2014 |

I got "Laura Palmer's Diary" a novelty item written by Lynch's daughter for my girlfriend for Christmas. It's interesting but a bit difficult to take as canon, despite Frost and Lynch's introductions. Why? - Maddy visits Laura and is introduced to Maddy when they are about 12-13. But in the show Maddy feels the need to formally introduce herself to Donna. -It describes Bobby fatally shooting that drug-dealer from FWWM. Don't the police get their hands on the secret diary eventually and wouldn't that information lead to a murder investigation?? crowoutofcontext fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Jan 5, 2015 |

http://www.digitalspy.ca/ustv/s260/...~p0KDALNKWMmNLW This is a pretty recent and detailed post about the casting of the third season. I hope they bring Hawk back. The fact that Lynch is directing every episode is a seal of quality for me. The only thing I worry about is if they try to replace Angelo Badalamenti. But I suppose they could re-use all the themes from the original series.

Bolingbroke posted:Question: are there any episodes in between Arbitrary Law and the final episode that contain a lot of important plot content or supernatural material? I've hit that point in my rewatch and I don't want to have to drag through the next run of episodes as I found them very, very dry the first time around. I don't enjoy a lot of this show's character drama (whereas I'm in the minority who loves the film). Am I missing any really excellent stuff (or appearances of the lodges) in that stretch or could I just skim through the episode summaries and then jump to the final episode? I remember there was some interesting stuff involving owls? I was in the same boat as you last week re-watching the series, decided to be a completionist and watch everything. The sad thing is there are a few great scenes in almost every late season 2 episode that I think are great TP moments, sandwiched between a shitload of really disposable stuff. Some material from the top of my head: Episode 20 begins with strange imagery and has Major Briggs appearing on a throne in a jungle and struggling to describe a supernatural experience. Before that amazing humanizing scene with Bobby Briggs and his mother after the Major disappears. Gordon Cole kissing Shelley. Cooper blabbering nonsense about the wind in the trees and "the power of love" when he is being scrutinized by the FBI. Harry Truman giving Cooper some home-made "green-tailed skunk" fishing bait for some reason gets me. Ben Horne smoking cigars and quoting Shakespeare when watching old footage of his hotel. Of course that is like a dozen moments out of several hours of slightly above mediocre television.

I remember being fairly uninterested by the first episode but was going through a Lynch-phase with a few friends, we were all hooked by the third and fourth episodes. Just tell them straight-up that its a slow-go until than.

I think the delay is more of a logistical thing. They say they have all the S3 scripts ready but that contracts are taking a while. I'm sure the script might have called for a few actors who will be a bit stingy about contracts. I mean, maybe Michael Ontkean is not up for it anymore, or something. We haven't heard anything directly from him. That would put a stick in the wheel.

For some reason all this star-wars reboot hype is making me lament the TP cancellation all the more. I don't feel goosebumps watching an aged Han Solo lumber through a spaceship, but watching a short trailer of an aged Cooper walk into the RR and order a coffee would just be jaw-dropping about now.

Baloogan posted:What do you think coffee means in Twin Peaks? It's Dale's undrinkable cup of coffee! I always saw this scene as a sort of Buddhist realm of Hungry Ghosts/Tantalus's eternal punishment kind of deal. Although Dale's love of coffee is comedic, he is a bit of a coffee addict, its the gift he yens for every day. In this timeless void of hell he can neither rid himself of the temptation by emptying the cup, nor can he drink it.

I dunno, the giant isn't hanging with the demons in the black lodge in FWWM Think he's a bit different from the other lodge folks.

Raxivace posted:I love the Civil War stuff. All those side-plots are character's going to extreme lengths to escape the consequences of their actions or lovely situations they are in. It's funny because the South's economy collapsed once it had to deal with the consequences of having a morally atrocious cornerstone(slavery) just as Ben's business begins to collapses because of its rotten core (sex-trafficking,gambling ect). BOB is kind of like the collective demon the community has to believe in, or chooses to use in a hosed up symbiotic way, to assure that all their lovely decisions, from the atrocities of rape and incest to the mundane errors (naive, hasty marriages and myopic business decisions). I expect that a big part of the Cooper as BOB story-line would involve Cooper slowly realizing this. He is kind of the least escapist character of the show because he clearly blames nobody but himself for Caroline's death even when he has a psychopath to blame. crowoutofcontext fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Jun 3, 2015 |

...And on Father's Day I revisit possibly one of the most moving TP moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjeCNnbVYAQ A Father's responsibility and relationship to their child is one of the major over-riding themes of Twin Peaks , and we see some very complex and dark relationships explored through Leland and Ben Horne. Briggs and Doc Hayward are always a palette-cleanser, though a massive distant personal gap separates them from their children as well.

Never put my finger on it before, but now I realize why those scenes always came off as a bit off and out of place. Like the scene with Cooper and Annie on the boat. Not Twin Peaksy both visually and emotionally IMO. Was Laura's funeral shot in California? That scene was also oddly bright and sunny IIRC
