Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

lol we know nothing about it other than "all the cast members" and "original creators wrote all episodes, with lynch directing all 18" and "shooting at original locations" but judgement on its artistic validity already rendered by famed tv show lover

I would be surprised if it was any more pointless than 3/4 of season 2. Nowhere to go but up, really.

It's 18 hrs of Lynch directing anything. That's most of the value for me.

Angelo

It's 18 hrs of Lynch directing anything.

pre-Mulholland Dr, an extremely mixed career (ie 50% shit)

just watched Mulholland for like the 500th time. one of the best beginnings of a movie of all time obviously.

it's always fun to see Kyle M on TV in his various recent roles.

pre-Mulholland Dr, an extremely mixed career (ie 50% shit)

topshelf morbs for acknowledging lynch's last two projects as his peak in the same breath as sneering at people interested in his next one

Has it been confirmed that this new series is being produced post-mulholland dr

yeah it was that or lynch'd walk

pre-Mulholland Dr, an extremely mixed career (ie 50% shit)

ehhh I've yet to see Dune or Straight Story but I at least like the rest. (iffiest on WaH, but even that has a few highlights.)

We're getting ahead of ourselves, tho, since directing an 18-ep season of a TV show is ridiculous and has v few precedents outside of sitcoms, so there's a high chance this goes wrong somehow

It's 18 hrs of Lynch directing anything.

It's starting to make me think of the Aphex Twin track dump. (Which doesn't lessen my enthusiasm for it one bit.)

I can wait

that show you like etc.

although it'd be funny if the goalposts kept moving such that a few months from now they promise us 45 episodes in 2032

2032 is Haydn's 300th birthday.

and then

my breath

Seyfried casting v much in character

Has Balthazar Getty even worked since David Foster Wallace wrote about how much he mocked Lynch behind his back?

Like, that's the only way I remember who he is. "That skinny guy from Lost Highway that DFW was disapproving of in Premiere."

i try to stay aware of what madchen amick looks like at all times

words by which to live

I only found out about that getty thing today on a twin peaks site (I've never read the dfw piece on lynch)

that same site is now claiming that harry dean stanton has been spotted filming

RIP Catherine Coulson...?

Or so reports Twitter, but I haven't seen any official confirmation.

http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/catherine-coulson-log-lady-twin-peaks-dies-dead-1201604367/

oof. rip catherine coulson.

aw :( rip

;_;

This is sad. It's hard to imagine how the new TP will do without either Bob or the Log Lady, they're kinda essential to the supernatural vibe of the show... (Or will they be recast?) Thankfully Michael J. Anderson and Carel Struycken are still around. (And according to IMDb, Anderson at least will appear in the new series too.)

Also, before I checked the IMDB link above, I had no idea Peggy Lipton was in her mid-forties when the original Twin Peaks was made. That's uncanny!

man RIP :(

yeah peggy lipton fine

her daughter isn't bad looking either (and looks pretty much exactly what you'd expect a mating of peggy lipton and quincy jones to look like!)

http://tvspoilernews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/rashida-jones-introduces-her-rom-com-at-sundance-18766.jpg

oh wow had no idea

woah

and their other daughter was tupac's fiancée?!

yr a lil late to this news

I'd be ok with rashida jones being in s3, get a dynasty in this thing

Original show had like three non-white characters
