Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

best thing I've read about the show. Also the most satisfying take on the Audrey storyline, too

any feedback on the extras yet? I ordered the DVD since I don't have a Blu player so I'm quite annoyed that I don't have access to those blu-exclusive extras. I dare say they will become *available* at some point though...

DVD arrived today btw. a kind of complicated many-folding soft-jewel case which I've never seen but there is Zero info on the box. No inserts let alone postcards or anything else. It's cool because it works out at around £2 per disc/ £1 per episode and I'm certainly not complaining at that price (£20 inc. delivery!)

rewatching this for what is essentially the third time has been a real blast

my flashlight’s broke

all of the minor characters are so well realized

Is there a site that TL;DR's Frost's books? I gave up on the first book after a few starts and the second one has zero appeal.

Omg u guys what did wins mean by that blank post I think it represented judy

Well now

I'm not gonna talk about that

ZOMgggh

that scene where gordon and albert visit the prison and first see mr. c is so heartbreaking. i also love how kyle maclachlan speaks every word of his monologue as if it were summoned from the bottom of the blackest ocean

on the new episode of the lodgers, they were talking about a dream feature that would allow you to shuffle the scenes of the whole series at random and now i can't stop thinking about it as something that should exist

someday...

I too would like randomised ambient twin peaks the return, possibly taking up an entire wall of my space age bachelor pad

I wrote a whole piece about the Gordon/Cooper prison scene. My favorite of the series... David Lynch acts his off on that. The disappointment of not being given the reunion you were promised, the betrayal Cole seems to feel when he has to play along and flash a thumbs up at the end of their conversation. “Yes, Coop. I too have missed our good times together.”

Is that available to read somewhere?

yeah, It's a little rushed and scrambled in its attempts to process the show's finale, but it was nice to spend some time with that scene (and the idea of Cole as an audience surrogate)

Nice one

The entirety of THE RETURN is screening at MoMA for free in January, for you lucky New Yorkers

i'll be there if possible

lol i'm already rewatching the whole thing and i can't wait to do it again in a theater with people :\

I'm in New York in January!

...a week after this finishes. This is an outrage

Finished my rewatch, which was great. I notice that 17/18 aren't considered a unit on the DVDs. I'm mostly just thinking about the structure - what things are artistic decisions and what are artifacts of the medium. In what ways are (1+2) and (3+4) discrete in a way that (17+18) aren't? Not important, of course.

Also watched the extras that aren't on the extra disc (on the DVDs); would like to get drunk and talk folk music with David Patrick Kelly.

the docs on the last disc are SO good. I still haven't watched the panel yet but I would kill to get Lindelof on the 'cast.

I powered through all the non-extras disc stuff because I promised I would lend the set to my neighbour before xmas. I can take longer on the final disc.

Lindelof was a frequent guest on the entertainment weekly podcast. My main takeaway was that he's one of those dorks who think that Cooper is inhabiting the body of Dougie Jones lol

Not that he didn't have interesting things to say, it just left an impression that an acclaimed tv writer would consistently fail to grasp something so simple

bought the final dossier, put it for sale without reading it cuz i'm broke af - take it from this thread that i'm not missing much?

I liked it. But then, when I was young, I liked the book of the film of Ghostbusters 2, so ymmv.

Haha I wish I'd done that (cuz also broke)

i think it's worth a quick run through, you can probably read it in half a day

^ yeah probably do that before I sell it tbh

as a guy who enjoyed the Gremlins 2 novelization as a kid, I endorse dowd’s comment

I had the original gremlins novelisation, the two things I remember are the author giving gizmo a bonkers backstory and there being a lot of stuff like "the old man walked inscrutably over to the antique table, speaking his strange oriental gibberish"

Anyway yeah you guys are setting the bar in the correct place re tfd

If I remember right the Gremlins 2 novelization does the "gremlins are in the projection booth thing" by having a gremlin tie up the author and write a chapter of the book

^^^omg I think I read this too

^^^spoken like a master of kompromat

lol wrong thread

haha

lol

i would question the stamina/sanity of New Yorkers who will do this in the new year's opening weekend

https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/3861?locale=en

Wait why would you question their stamina

Anyway I would so go to this obv & am gutted I narrowly miss being in NY for it, but then I wanted to take the train to Brighton when the cinema there screened the first two seasons over a weekend and I was gutted I couldn't do that

ugh the word stamina is forever tainted

It's been constaminated

one of my favorite sequences in this whole show is balthazar getty’s big scene

sharon van etten’s “tarifa” is the most beautiful song in the world

Tons of behind the scenes stuff up now, if it hasn't been posted here:
