Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

If I were going to get a TP-themed tattoo, I think I'd go with Sherilyn Fenn's butt, with a butt-shaped tattoo on it, and I'd get it right on my butt.

in college i met this guy who had the map to the black lodge elaborately tattooed on his neck. i wonder what ever happened to that guy?

Vanished to an extradimensional plane if I had to guess.

That is the coolest thing I have ever heard!

I've been recording these off Chiller lately. Total classic.

That "Winkies" scene in "Mulholland Drive" still gives me the fuckin' major creeps.

Same here! What I find so fascinating about it though is that the LEAST scary part is actually when "evil dude" appears.

It's all about the build-up.

RIP don s davis

I wonder if he was hired for X-Files because of his role Twin Peaks? Both characters were army guys with UFO connections, seems too much of a coincidence.

bobby is looking rough.

did you pass him on the street or something

Must have Season 2!

Please help!

complete DVD box set with both seasons came out at least a couple years ago

UK, rather than US. I don't think the Season 2 situation is so clear cut over here in terms of DVDs that will actually work.

bobby is looking rough.

I saw an ad for a Lifetime movie starring him -- he just looked like an adultified Bobby, in a way that seemed almost a bit creepy! He has ... teenaged features, I think. They are not what you expect on an older person.

the gold box edition of the whole series was released in region 2 as well, it's on amazon.co.uk for about 60 pounds

Bobby Briggs was in Ghost Dad!

"While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and a hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and will gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject, absolutely, revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman."

this is like my favourite thing ever

i can't even believe someone would pose this question. twin peaks is so obviously one of the best television shows ever created that anyone who thinks otherwise automatically gets written off, by me at least.

I feel the same about cheese.

Got Season 2 last night. The next few weeks bode well.

For a supposed "best TV show ever," TWIN PEAKS goes downhill pretty far, pretty fast. Remember the stuff with James and the vixen (which just... ends, as if the writers knew how awful it was and pulled a plug somewhere)? Or super-strength Nadine? Or anything with Josie Packard? The Dick Tremaine/Andy/Little Nicky thing actually comes across as one of the better subplots during the show's worst dry spell, just subsequent to Leland Palmer's death.

And if you don't think I'm hardcore enough, just read upthread. I am O.G. TWIN PEAKS.

supernadine was sooooo lol!!!
yeah s2 gets really soap opera!
i actually never finished it!

is because so many different writers, so many different directors, mark frost and david lynch having less direct involvement iirc

what site am i on again? youtube?

kinda wishing you were

hey fu amateurist!!

ok!!! yay!!!

I've said it before & I'll say it again: Even "bad" Twin Peaks is great camp (& wicked parody of soap-opera-type drama, even in unintentional) and the black lodge storyline segue into wtf finale totally makes up for whatever shitness claims might be directed at the second-season lull IMO.

amateurist, i get breathless when josie is on screen. and i suck dick.

gay guys love joan chen

i guess that i sort of enjoy the descent into campiness. i think the only sub-plot i truly loathe is the one involving the woman and james, but i also hate everything involving james, so that's a given.

• his hair
• his face

<3 that subplot. The one I can't quite get with is the Andy/Dick/progeny-o-Satan storyline, but at least that one only lasts a couple episodes.

I'll admit that James is, in general, very punchable.

yes, with a brick.

joan chen is a pretty woman, but after the first season all the plotlines with her go nowhere (er, she shot agent cooper why exactly?), and her acting is consistently painful.

actually, the whole mill/ghostwood thing, on a recent reviewing, is pretty dull from the start.

i love all that local politics shit!

when it's purely humorous it's funny, but all the machinations with catherine/ben horne/josie/hank/leo/etc. get pretty dull--and incoherent--pretty fast.

i guess that was their "plot B" all along, but it never seemed worthy to me. (or maybe "plot B" was james/donna, and this was "plot C"--i dunno if they theorized TV like that back in 1990; sure do now.)
