All kinds of official crud on sale at the showtime store, much of it designed by lynch, plus they're bringing some sort of "immersive experience" to sxsw

me, I'm v glad this is happening but "merch" is for the birds

Generally agreed, but I'm afraid I'll have to purchase those Funko action figures.

...afraid to ask, but that's a joke right

Yeah, no, it's for real.

ugh son

Those things are horrible

Well, they're making the terrible Pop things but they're also making less terrible but, yes, probably still objectively quite terrible regular action figures:

The likelihood of my buying these is in no way a refutation of something deeply flawed inside of me that would compel me to commit such an act.

I was thinking of the pop things tbf but yeah I hate these too

h8 the funkos

"It is happening again"
Is beach house involved ?

i really need to figure out whose house I'm going to every sunday night for this.

Not read yet but it was great to see the cover photos. There was a nice interview with lynch in gq as well

Man, seeing everyone as their characters but older...always getting harder to pretend I'm not in the same boat.

Fuck yeah Michael Horse

Meantime, of all the characters it's Duchovny's whose reception/reading surely has to be...not different but the most changed given public perceptions and law over all these years.

It's kind of amazing that he just had everyone get back into their same costumes.

Is Sheriff Truman in this?

yes and no

Ontkean isn't coming back, chances are Robert Forster is playing his brother Frank

holy shit @ andy and lucy

No one gets to retire in the world of Twin Peaks, much like ours.

i can't believe Michael Cera is in this, the second he shows up onscreen the entire Twin Peaks suspension of disbelief is going to crumble. unless Lynch is a true wizard.

Michael Cera has been good in things! Specifically Crystal Fairy and the something something

Maybe he just shows up at the start, dead, wrapped in plastic, and the town decides not to solve his murder.

i thought that about adam driver in star wars too but he was good in that.

twin peaks has always featured the bizarre juxtapositions of very good and very bad actors

Adam Driver was great. but the character in Girls has the same kind of dark jerk-ness to him. and Cera has been in good stuff. i loved "Scott Pilgrim".

still, it feels weird, like When World Collide...

Crazy how Lynch has aged so much better than (most of) the cast

also lynch is a true wizard

^this is true. i realized this while watching Mulholland Drive and realizing that was Billy Ray Cyrus up there on screen somehow being brilliant

Many people including me have been assuming without evidence that Michael Cera must be playing Andy and Lucy's son.

I'm most interested in the bit part being played by current UFC middleweight champion Michael "The Count" Bisping.

Cera was quite good in his Entertainment bit part.

he was good in This is the End

My prediction for this revival is it's going to focus a lot less on returning characters than people expect

Twin Peaks: The Damn Good Coffee Awakens

Is there a watching guide for season 2? I was trying to rewatch it and all the stuff with Big Ed and what's-her-eye put me off. (Oh, Nadine!)

I'm curious about the comedy actors and musicians and whatever other perceived stunt casting, also about the return of beloved character Louis "Birdsong" Budway

But most of all I'm just all in for lynch directing dern and watts again

Cera is underrated, he's fine.

Driver actually would have been a good TP addition, fuck, he'd be a halfway decent Bob

yeah adding watts and dern to this is great. Dern has been so good in Big Little Lies too.

*louie xp to me

My prediction for this revival is it's going to focus a lot less on returning characters than people expect

I agree, the mix of younger actors and old castmembers should allow for a fair amount of variety, it doesn't need to be/shouldn't be all oldsters

Well there are 217 cast members and what, 30 odd returning?
