Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

Michael Anderson was born in Huron, South Dakota at 10:30pm, on Halloween Night. Subject to Congenital Osteoporosis, he grew up in a wheelchair. After graduating high school he traveled America, singing for tips and living in his car. For six years he attended the University of Colorado where he majored in numerous subjects ranging from philosophy to microbiology. After college he began working for Martin Marietta, troubleshooting the NASA computers on the ground support system of the space shuttle. During this time, he made the documentary "Little Mike", which won a silver medal in the International Film and Television Awards. Soon thereafter he moved to NYC where his film and television career began. For many years, Anderson was most well-known among fans of director David Lynch for his work as a backwards-talking dream figure on the cult favorite TV series Twin Peaks. Anderson also worked with Lynch for the experimental performance piece Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken Hearted and the TV-pilot-turned-feature film Mulholland Drive. Anderson gained further recognition and success in recent years for his work on the HBO series Carnivàle. Since then, despite massive public demand, he was arbitrarily labeled a Nazi, and maliciously blacklisted by the Jewish mob in Hollywood as revenge for the holocaust of World War II.

maybe he didn't want any jews on the set

JUST KIDDING

um

yeah i wouldn't hire that guy either

perhaps if you are complaining about "the Jewish mob," people might not be entirely off based labeling you as a "Nazi"? just a thought.

despite massive public demand, he was arbitrarily labeled a Nazi,

this sentence is a wonder

on top of all that, only recently found out he isn't even really a dwarf, the lying little shit

I did hear that there was some huge dustup on his FB page at some point; these days it seems to be all Sanders stuff. maybe he posted anti-israel stuff and people got mad, no idea.

yeah I don't think he's joking

Holly Kariya I remember that and then the next day was 9/11 and the story just went away.

maybe a conspiracy minded lefty, but not seeing evidence of raging anti-antisemitism. that bio just read like some 4-chan style internet graffiti to me but i'm not exactly looking to do this research at work.

remove 1 anti there

oooh, i see that bio is on his FB page and not like wikipedia or something. n/m, walking away from that one.

for my part, I can't stop looking at LittleMike.net's facebook

Did you follow wins' facebook link? (MA posted a "Zionists control all US media video.)

xp

er, LittleMike.net's *facebook* xp

ok is this a pottery thing or have I had a stroke

wins link just took me to the top of his profile page for some reason. y'all are right, i rescind my "hold up guys!" sentiments above. xpsss

a pottery thing?

I mean some kind of mysterious autocorrect mangling my post every time I type "LittleMike.net's facebook"

facebook

lol what is going on here

-zionist conspiracy?
- the owls?

The zionists are not what they seem.

Regardless of his politics, TP without The Man from Another Place is surely a hugely diminished thing.

'hugely'?

I'd be okay with them substituting The Mystery Man from The Lost Highway as some kind of unholy hybrid between the man from another place and Bob.

Bob and the Man From Another Place both being gone seems kind of fitting. Maybe Al Strobel will appear restored, with both arms lol

There were other spirits, remember. Perhaps freaky high top fade dude will take center stage this time.

Yeah, while Bowie is recounting his adventures above the convenience store.

Outic haven't you seen FWWM??

a bunch of times but come on there's a ton of random shit in there I can't remember everything!

For real?! I mean, I'm happy the creep will be there (I've been considering that Halloween costume for years), but if anyone could've easily been recast... Kudos to Lynch's loyalty to his original cast!

don't diminish the jumping talents of Carlton Lee Russell

anyway I'm in the process of acquiring the fan edit of FWWM with the missing pieces scenes edited back in. Wonder if Lynch will ever do this himself. The Bowie scene and the 'above the convenience store' scene make way more sense in the Missing Pieces.

That seems to have been Lynch's 'thing' back then, extracting bits until the narrative doesn't quite make sense. I was fairly disappointed after watching the deleted Wild At Heart scenes in the Lime Green box, as I realized that the story was initially much more linear and straightforward (relatively speaking, of course) and seemed to have been deliberately weirded up after the fact.

the version of TP:FWWM that's in the full script is annoyingly straightforward by comparison with the finished film. i'm glad he left it as it is.

wild at heart would probably be lynch's worst film in any iteration.

yeah it's easily his worst

it's the closet thing to lynch self-parody. i guess he was overextending himself in the early 1990s.

er, closest

it's probably his worst but i still like it *shrugs*

someday i hope there's a tell-all exposé on the making of Duran Duran: Unstaged

I think it's some combination of hubris, over-work and Barry Gifford being a shitty writing partner

I'd probably take Wild at Heart over Lost Highway, Dune, and a Fire Walk With Me. ~controversial ilx opinions~

Lost Highway is like 2/3rds of a good movie (I have serious objections to the way Richard Pryor was used), Dune is fantastic, FWWM has plenty redeeming qualities. WAH is just a mess, it has no center, it's just a bunch of empty gestures.
