I'm missing Badalamenti and bored, so for fun I wanted to see if a scene without music would work with music, and I think it does. Maybe the music will return when Coop does.

Wally is a unique character but still fits in really good in the location of Twin Peaks.

Yeah, it's pretty understood that there's something not right with him, like his parents and everybody else in the whole drat town.

Rhino announced that there will be 2 music releases for this in September. One is the score, and the other is songs from the different artists featured in the show.

I agree with some of the complaints about the fx, but I understand why they look the way they do. Lynch has always dabbled in physical media, and his transition to digital has been less than smooth. He decided to shoot Inland Empire on a pd150 dvcam, which was considered way outdated in 2005 (it was cutting edge when von Trier used the same camera for certain scenes in "Dancer in the Dark" when he shot it in 1999, and even then he used custom lenses to improve the image), so it looks very cheap and home video. Lynch loved the look, and compared it to the graininess of old 1920s film stock, but most people see it and say 'wow, that looks bad'. He started doing his own digital art around the same time he launched his website, as well as designing the posters for Inland Empire and the release of the Twin Peaks vol. 2 soundtrack, which look pretty amateurish and not at all professionally 'designed'. Some of the shorts he did for the website or promotions featured fx which looked non-professional, like this short for Cannes in '07, which I love:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GavrZa7LDaQ

In the mid 2000s, he released The Air is On Fire art book that featured some of his photoshop work, or 'digital paintings', and they are very crude but very Lynch. It's hard to find many of these online (it own it and might post some examples later if anyone's interested), but this is the idea:



When I see the fx for the new series, they very much remind me of this stuff, and I wouldn't be surprised if Lynch handled some of these fx himself. Sometimes it works, like the body in the bed looking obviously fake. It's very reminiscent of his crude photoshops and I'm fine with that. But when Dougie's body disappears and is replaced by a rock (?), that digital stretch-morph effect is some babbys first flash video level stuff. But like it or not, the reason the effects look the way they do isn't because of a lack of money, but rather because Lynch likes this look for reasons that are probably baffling to most people.

1) The first act is bad.
2) Of the David Lynch movies I've seen, it's the one that feels closest to what people accuse him of: putting random weird imagery onscreen.

Good thing you haven't seen Inland Empire.

I'm on my 5th or 6th rewatch of the original series since it aired and I'm always amazed at how much I forget. A lot of it is convoluted as hell, or just boring. It's crazy how obvious it is when you're watching a Lynch-directed episode, the mood is so different, more absurd and horrific. That's the mood I always associate in my mind with Twin Peaks, but a lot of the actual show is very much not like this. FWWM really nailed it.

So what are everyone's opinions on the Leland-BOB continuum? Was every crime all BOB (per the TV series) or did BOB simply catalyze Leland's desires (as is implied in FWWM)?
I'm of the opinion that it's more the latter than the former.

I like the latter much better, and felt that the shows tendency to make BOB a literal other-demon that possesses people like pazuzu to be a mark against it. It feels less about "the evil that men do" and more like a lame sci-fi plot.

Leo is great and awful because he's supposed to be this hyper manly, dangerous redneck drug dealer husband, but Eric DaRae is the most non-intimidating looking/sounding dude on the planet. He's like Steven Seagal's softer, whiny little brother, which is hilarious given his character.

Rebekah del Rio sang that song on her last record (it was written by Lynch/Neff in '01), and it isn't blatantly autotuned there. Seems very intentional in the version on the show, since she can still belt out those notes as of last year during that Lynch concert. Lynch used some heavy autotune w Chrysta Bell on some tracks too, even though she's pretty awesome without it. It's just a thing he likes sometimes *shrug*
