One of the things I'm most looking forward to is new music by Angelo Badalamenti

Yo if you like his music a lot you (and everyone else) should check out a band from the mid-late 90s called Labradford:

Some David Lynch fans seem to have this weird obsession with eating each other alive over which of his projects are "good" and which are "bad", and even project that onto others by implying that most fans of Lynch are fans of everything he's done, to some degree or other. Like, it's possible to be down with both The Straight Story and Inland Empire, it really is.

That said my favorite thing of his, ever, are the LA weather updates he posted every day on YouTube for like 2 years.

The only director I can think of with the absurd range of Lynch is Takeshi Miike, who has likewise done everything from Visitor Q to Crows Zero to Thirteen Assassins to, most recently, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Though Miike has directed an average of like 5 films a year for 15 years now so in:re volume of output he's the opposite of Lynch.

The new 4 episodes are completely in the tone of FWWM insofar as that they are arthouse dogshit for pretentious assholes to wank themselves senseless over whilst Lynch laughs himself to the bank over being able to sell a bunch of nostalgic garbage to morons solely by attaching his name to it.

This man is one of the greatest carnies of all time and everyone unironically enjoying this complete shite is an utter loving rube.

So when people like you type things like this, what exactly do you think you're accomplishing? Do you think I'm going to go "wait he's right, i've tricked myself until liking something"? Or are you just such an intellectual tryhard that you sincerely believe your subjective lack of enjoyment is objective truth? Or are you just an idiot?

The Wally Brando thing worked because it fit the tone of the original and was funny. One just hopes Lynch and Frost know not to do it more than once, though. I highly doubt they would. So it's just as weird, and wonderful, as Cooper standing on a metal cube in the middle of space with a woman with no eyes or Eraserhead Tree.

Not hearing/reading anyone react to the deplorable CG and green screening except for some "that's so Lynch!" here and there. I disagree. Lynch's capacity for the surreal and even the exaggerated has always been upheld by strong, believable special effects, starting with the baby in Eraserhead and extending through some of the most violent scenes in his oeuvre.

My take is that the effects looked so "bad" on purpose, because it makes them more unsettling and dreamlike. When something looks "believable", that kinda defeats the point of being shown something that Should Not Be

I'm getting a real kick out of analyzing the Secret History book for hints as to what the glass box monster was and what the big malevolent force above BOB might be.
The book makes mention of "mother" a few times, consistent with what implied was banging on the window in episode 3. There's also this cool/creepy account of Aleister Crowley trying to summon the "moonchild" and that the Roswell alien incident happened right after. I think we'll get more name drops of this mother entity as the season goes on.

Oh man I hope we get a time traveling Aleister Crowley in this season

I like how neither the hooker nor the casino people thought him acting out of the ordinary was anything super abnormal, the hooker just thought he might've had a stroke and the casino people thought he was mentally disabled (the change lady even gave him a "bless his heart" expression when he walked away from her window). Reminded me of this:

My grandmother used to go to casinos a lot, and always had insanely good luck. One time she was Mrs. Jackpots, she got a 777 jackpot 7 times, on 7 different machines, that were all next to each other. She has a picture of her standing in front of them with the casino owner or I wouldn't believe it.

The only one I've noticed referring to anything so far is 253, as (ep 3) it is 2:53 when Evil Coop starts vomiting and Dougie gets sent to the Lodge instead.

Also speaking of ep 3... In the space adventure game part, Cooper sees a... whatever... with a 15 on it. Later, the one with a 3 on it is the one he gets sucked through. My first thought was that obviously he went through the 3 portal because it's episode 3, so I expect something big to happen in episode 15 that refers back to the space/blind-lady/whatever the gently caress

I don't want to get my hopes up either, but at the same time, it seems odd that Lynch wouldn't have re-shot or at least dialed back all the referenced to Bowie's character if he never even shows up.

Much less likely: the people I've seen claiming that Michael Anderson actually does eventually show up.

If anyone likes the weirdness and mystery of Twin Peaks but hates how slow and boring it is, along with the creator jerking himself off with weird things that mean nothing just to appear "out there" or whatever, give Legion a try. It's just as weird but has a story and isn't filmed with 50% silence/staring every episode.

I can't figure out why, but Bowie's "we live in a dream" and "they live above a convenience store" lines chill me to the bone. Always have. And I keep thinking there's a song that samples those lines, but I've never been able to figure out what song. I thought it was something on Outside (Bowie's best album) but it's not.

That is Lynch's son's band. If you like that timeless, retro rock n roll sound, check out the Raveonettes, a Danish two-piece band that was bigger 10-15 years ago. They have that great fuzzy, twangy, "1950s dream/nightmare" sound and style that I associate with Lynch.

Holy poo poo, that's Lynch's son up there? drat fine music.

Yeah the Raveonettes have been favorites of mine for a long time. Their cover of "The End" sounds like it should be in a Lynch film for sure.
