More Twin Peaks DVD news. The forthcoming release will benefit from brand new video transfers and work is being done on extra features.

Nice. I'm glad I've held off all this time on the DVDs, patience has its virtues...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

uh, i really doubt they'll be re-releasing the existing season one dvds....

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:56 (twenty-one years ago)

EXTRA FEATURES. They'll use them to rerelease anything.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:59 (twenty-one years ago)

do you an extra feature could involve only putting out the episodes that lynch directed himself?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:11 (twenty-one years ago)

s'only like 5 or so

― The Argunaut (sexyDancer), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:12 (twenty-one years ago)

what lynch directed:

- the two-hour pilot
- six episodes of the series (including, i believe, one two-hour episode at the begining of season two)
- "twin peaks: fire walk with me"
- "the twin peaks holiday special" (hosted by lou diamond phillips and featuring the animated dwarf and giant vaudeville duo)

Latest Rumor for Release Dates of Twin Peaks Season 2 in Europe Region 2
Leonard Krantz sends me an email today stating that Paramount will be releasing the Twin Peaks Season 2 DVD set split up into two box sets containing 4 discs each. The first to be released on September 22nd, 2005, and the second half on October 20th 2005. The set is supposed to contain new video transfers, 5.1 newly re-mastered audio, and extras to be announced. I'm looking into this rumor, but so far, it sounds pretty dead on. Eventually a US release will follow."

two months pass...

The DVD release of Twin Peaks from Paramount has now been delayed until spring 2006. This is give them time to work on the picture/sound for the release - apparently David Lynch himself is involved in the remastering process. I know it's another delay, but at least it sounds like Paramount is committed to bringing out a quality product.

― Ben Mott (Ben Mott), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

This is gonna turn out to be like that MBV box set, isn't it....

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Where's Annie?

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:06 (twenty-one years ago)

she's at CostCo buying a copy of Chinese Democracy.

*breaks mirror with head*

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

shes still in the black lodge. laura had a vision of her!

I saw that movie in the theater when it came out.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 13 May 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Twin Peaks has the best understanding of supernatural/dream logic ever in a major TV show.

― latebloomer: the rebel sound of grits and bacon (latebloomer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw that movie in the theater when it came out.

me too.

she was so hot in that.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw "License to Drive" in the theater, too, but only because they wouldn't let me in to see "Colors." As I recall, Heather Graham was pretty foxy in it. Not bad for a teen hijinx flick.

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

shes still in the black lodge. laura had a vision of her!

Yeah, but that vision happened before she ever went into the lodge. Dale's the one still in there.

― The Yellow Kid, Friday, 13 May 2005 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

oh thats right the apparition said the good coopers still in their. sorry, jumbled memory!

― latebloomer: the rebel sound of grits and bacon (latebloomer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

is it just me, or has heather graham been between the ages of 17 and 30 for about 25 years?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

more like 15, which would make sense

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

it seems like lifetimes between the 'license to drive', 'twin peaks', and 'austin powers' eras. i was astonished to realize that 'twin peaks' came only three years after 'license to drive'. but those were my formative years, so it's understandable.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:58 (twenty-one years ago)

what about ROLLERGIRL

― latebloomer: the rebel sound of grits and bacon (latebloomer), Friday, 13 May 2005 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

also: Drugstore Cowboy.

(but yeah, I was abt to make the "ageless" remark as well, it is kinda weird)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 13 May 2005 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

she has gotten prettier the older she's gotten

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 13 May 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Instead of older the prettier she's gotten?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 13 May 2005 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

"gotten" is a funny word.

Fuck! I don't want to wait until 2006! This came out when I was three or four (that should make most of you feel old) and so I barely remember any of the episodes from Season 2. In fact, I barely remembered the first season from that age aside from the opening sequence and the glitchy-electric Lynch/Frost Productions credit.

First season's utterly classic, and I did succumb to buying the Korean import of the pilot episode as well as Eraserhead (as a Korean import as well) from eBay. "Falling" sounds even more haunting in the pilot because of the off-kilter speed they mastered the episode at.

I have some reasonably bad but watchable video files of season two

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 14 May 2005 18:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i have the vhs copies recorded in EP mode! rock!

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Sunday, 15 May 2005 03:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I still haven't seen all of twin peaks and I think I really need to.

let me know, if I should copy you, cozen.

There's a pretty good (VHS?) rip of Season 2 doing the rounds on bittorrent at the moment - it is misplabelled as being a DVD rip and the group who released it called themselves medieval

twin peaks s02 dvdrip xvid medieval

― Chewshabadoo (Chewshabadoo), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

I am making my way through the first series at the moment. It's very funny. I didn't remember it as funny. It reminds me of The Fast Show bolted on to a thriller chassis, lots of one-trick characters doing their catchphrase in different situations, then on to the next scene. I like it a great deal.

I wonder if I've said this before?

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

maybe it's a rip of the laser discs, wasn't the whole series on laser disc at some point? anyway thanks for the tip

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 27 October 2005 15:00 (twenty years ago)

just finished watching the second season ... ending was amazing. i was sitting there in the dark rocking back and forth in white-knuckled horror for most of the final episode. especially when they were walking in the woods.

funniest moment: when annie told cooper she was going to enter the pageant. anyone remember this?

Loved the original movie-length pilot. Never tuned into the show after that, however.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 29 October 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, I don't even know what that end of season 2 "how's Annie?" context is, but that pictures is seriously creepin' me the fuck out.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 29 October 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

this is the worst film ever

― captain crunchyfarts, Saturday, 29 October 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

alex: you have to watch a good 20 to 25 hours of show to get there, but it's one of the creepiest (and thusly best) things ever

― lemin (lemin), Saturday, 29 October 2005 05:35 (twenty years ago)

Seriously, that still shot is fucking so disturbing.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 29 October 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)
