Was just looking at these (amazing) pictures...

Scroll down a few & check out 14th Street!
Funny that he has plenty of stories for the characters in the other photos but doesn't seem to realize it's Michael J Anderson. And I know he doesn't really belong on here since this is the S3 thread but seems to be the rolling thread for now too... Maybe I should shop-in a hissing electric tree, make things right

WOW BOB WOW

Mark Frost's (reported) comments from the Austin Film Festival on writing The Return:

I'd be wary of taking any of Frost's remarks as interpretive keys, of course.

Yeah if season 4 is a Wally Brando spinoff that would be beautiful

"Frost asked to write the script via Skype so he wouldn't have to inhale all of Lynch's secondhand smoke."

So far, Final Dossier is definitely Frost breezing through what happened to all the characters we didn't see in season three, and a lot of groan-worthy tongue-in-cheek jokes.

Doug Milford's green ring shows up in NYC, I'll leave the spoiler at that

This seems like the right thread for this. Me and my wife at a Halloween Party.

awesome

A+ costumes all around!

Very nice costumes!

Nice, Simon! And that's a very convincing Evolution of the Arm.

much thanks to Matthew Mathis for bringing to my attention this scene in Twin Peaks with David Bowie playing a character named Phillip Jeffries.
I hadn’t know of this scene until now, but it’s true the phrase david uses “hell god baby damn!” is something he got from me. back in the early touring days of 1978-79 it was something I would jokingly shout now and then. david always loved it and tried to emulate it. “how is it, ade, hell baby...?” he usually got it fouled up but eventually must have learned it because 11 years later when we first re-united for the 1990 tour it’s the first thing he said to me!
by then I had forgotten all about it.

i have not one but two lime green blazers and am wearing neither of them today

Blu-ray / DVD pre-order up now on Amazon

The Final Dossier does confirm who the girl in episode 8 was.

Michael Ontkean is listed as a cast member at the Amazon product page.

xp also addresses the real mystery, "How's Annie?"

I just finished the ep with James' Roadhouse song, it's a funny comparison to the original living room performance with the uncanny miming/reverb/etc. Now I just thought "sure, they're performing with backing tracks, very 2017."

backing tracks AND fronting tracks

"The Final Dossier does confirm who the girl in episode 8 was."

who? I haven't opened mine yet, it's still in a box.

the biggest Twin Peaks fan I know was critical of the book- said it explains too much, robs the show & FWWM of some of its mystery. I got my copy yesterday but haven't opened it yet.

it's very gossipy

can someone just post all the spoilers, no way I'm buying + reading it lol

read the whole thing in like an hour and some yesterday, it's so brief

the bug girl is Laura's mom

I'm not sure how much I should say about the book here but it's also definitely not worth it's own thread.

The book seems to lay the groundwork for Audrey's original storyline in s3 (and in some ways still does), but what Lynch eventually came up with for the show is more powerful and mysterious.

Also, there's yet more Lana Milford and it's as dumb as ever.

i'm sort of glad the books exist if only bc they nearly confirm the lynch/frost binary

well said

i mean ... not to diminish mark frost's role but does he actually even know who the bug girl is?

he keeps claiming to, but anyone really?

Sarah takes off her face and the bug's pointy nose sticks out, we're meant to conclude it.

that part where she asked “would you like to meet the bug?” might have been a tip-off

Sarah takes off her face and the bug's pointy nose sticks out, we're meant to conclude it.

there were a few discussions way upthread about the DIY quality of the special effects and if they were "bad" or not. in general i liked the way they used sfx but this might have been a scene where a slightly more realistic effect might have made that clear

Why so sceptical? Who knows how many of these were his ideas?

because episode 8, more than any other until 18, felt like it could have been totally Lynch solo.

saw a halloween Diane in the street last night, considered taking a photo for this thread, decided I couldn't be bothered figuring out what Photobucket has changed about 3ph

mark frost doesn't "know" anything about the bug girl that's not in the text, because the bug girl doesn't exist outside of the text.

the proboscis of evil appearing behind sarah's face doesn't mean she was the bug girl. i read it as being about trauma turning her into a carrier or host for evil, represented by a recurring image the audience has been trained to associate with destruction, negation, chaos, fission. leland abusing+killing laura was the bug crawling into sarah. maybe the bug also crawled into her when she was a little girl, in the form of an actual bug actually crawling into her. maybe the bug crawls into all of us because adulthood is corruption, idk! but what would it even mean that the girl was sarah? the themes developed in the nuclear-test section of ep 8 are extremely stark and vivid (if still mysterious) and are already tied thematically to the "main" "plot" of the rest of the show. why bother tying them to it literally? why go to the trouble?

this show was good btw.

(i realize that frost's books supposedly expand the text but i have arbitrarily ruled this invalid.)

death of the author (which is Lynch and not his co-writer)

lynch doesn't know anything either

the further-text version is that Laura was extra messed up because her existence was a fusion of the entities in both her parents, but she eventually escaped from her path via Cooper. the influence was too strong, she disappears, the timeline alters

the book mentions Tammy reading past newspapers and interviewing Twin Peaks residents and realizing Cooper came to investigate Laura’s disappearance, not murder, and nothing is ever clear

the further-text version is that Laura was extra messed up because her existence was a fusion of the entities in both her parents

see that's cool but feel like it's cool to the extent that it's a metaphor and to the extent that it's a metaphor it was already there. less aggro-academically than the above posts what i rly think is that lynch+frost together did a rly good job of deciding what to put in their tv show.

tbh Frost never said that, either

just that her mom was the bug lady, and pick yr texts

by “further” I meant extrapolation from the show and Frost’s book

imo it’s all original sin and we’re the fusion
