The stars turn: the TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread

it's nothing huge, it's just this LA Times interview with kyle maclachlan: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/la-en-st-kyle-maclachlan-twin-peaks-david-lynch-emmys-20180503-story.html

here's what he says about the ending:

I have my own sense of where we are and where we may have missed a certain kind of, I don’t know what to say, like a connection… or a junction, somehow.

All I know is I’m in a place and I’m at a loss. And the Cooper character that we all know and remember was, I don’t think, ever at a loss. And to see that for the first time was very frightening, and disheartening, and confusing.

That’s not what I played, but it’s what I saw, when I saw it. It was like, “Oh… Now, we’re in trouble.” And you realize that even the best man, you think of Cooper as the best man, maybe he didn’t get there… we don’t know.”

felt a lot of parallels between gravity’s rainbow and twin peaks season 3 as i was reading the former. the slow fragmentation of the main character, the feeling that the forces acting upon us are as disorganized and unreadable as our inner selves. dougie’s journey is pretty slothropian i think, solving mysteries and helping the people he encounters via accident and incident

also harry potter tbf

oh i’ve never read harry potter

if youve seen twin peaks 3 i think youve the gist of it rly

Harry Potter is a tulpa, the black lodge = Hogswarts, etc. It's pretty obvious, really.

a whole lot more Johnny Jewel music done for The Return is being released

not really

Working entirely without images, drawing from his own imagined version of what The Return​ might be, Jewel produced a monumental six hours of material. The 21 tracks that comprise this album have been culled from that prolific streak of inspiration, sequenced and edited last winter in Tokyo

Prescient:

Yesterday I found out you can rent a huge 3-bedroom house for around $1200 USD southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the US. That means if you buy property there, you can probably get a pretty damn good deal, and your monthly payments would be equal to a rental fee or less.

I had a look at the properties and they were rows of houses identical to each other. It was like a scene from Twin Peaks or something.

Frightening.

Total dud.

vegas housing market has always been in some kind of boom since i've been alive i think, which is def not natural and is prob good evidence of late capitalist rot but i've also never looked deeply into it. "rows of houses identical to each other" has been the urban planning modus operandi for the city at least since like... 1998. growing up there was pretty congruent with growing up in a small town (there's so much space between everything that it never feels like a city, and you can't really access what the city is about until you're 18 or 21) so its presence in twin peaks s3 felt incredibly natural to me

*copies and pastes screen grabs from Edward Scissorhands, dir. Tim Burton, 1990*

*copies and pastes pictures from my hometown, circa 1979 and earlier*

to add to what i said above, one way in which vegas does *not* feel like twin peaks is there's none of the rich sense of community that runs even through the atomized and dimensionally-splintered twin peaks in season three, it's pretty much all alienation and empty space, so like deer meadow is the mirror image of twin peaks, all of its darkness and depraved indifference risen to the surface, vegas is another version of that kind of space, one too scraped-out and disconnected to cultivate the feeling of community or even that you live among other humans in a society lol

i'm sure lynch wasn't thinking about any of this when he picked vegas but it's just interesting to me the way the identities of the different places in the third season brush up against each other. new york seems like another planet (and we're only ever in the interior of a building so it might as well be)

oh i'm pretty sure he was thinking about it! he's very sensitive to that stuff.

he just doesn't like to talk about it (or almost anything else) in interviews.

Mark Frost picked Vegas tbf

Lynch said since the initial announcement that frost came to him with a particular idea for what the new series could be and Lynch loved it and they started writing; sometime after the show finished he was doing an interview with a French magazine and they asked what that original idea of frost’s was & he said something like “dale Cooper wakes up in an empty house in Las Vegas” “and it just went from there”

thank you for that really excellent info wins

I plotzed when I learned that tbh, an incredible and v unexpected origin story for this show

it's nice to read stuff like that and hear it in your mind in david lynch's voice.

I just finished my first rewatch a couple days ago. It's consistently amazing to me how much more coherent Lynch's works become on a second or third viewing, although that was almost certainly aided in this instance by not having to wait a week between every installment.

I can't remember if this was ever brought up while the series was airing, but among the details that I first noticed while watching in higher def is the hilariously-wonky family portrait behind Lucy's desk.

haha that rules

Did the internet sleuths ever find out where the original photo came from? I remember that the picture of mr c in his mansion in “Rio” was at Al Capone’s house

Has anyone said that it sounds like Angelo Badalamenti is playing the chords to New Order's Subculture in the cherry pie scene at the casino, before going into "Heartbreaking." I mean, I thought it did.

that's not Badalementi

but yeah re: Subculture

That may explain why he didn't look like the guy I previously thought was Badalamenti. Anyway, the music.

I think I posted it before, but this feature on production designer Ruth De Jong is absolutely worth your time to read.

worth it just for the photo of Lynch (not in Cole drag) in Twede's / the Double R

Shout-out to production designer Ruth De Jong, who's so far worked on:

- Us
- Twin Peaks: The Return
- Manchester by the Sea
- Every Malick from Tree of Life to Song to Song
- PTA's There Will Be Blood to Inherent Vice run

Nice

I absolutely loved this. I still haven’t watched the last two episodes because I wanted to keep something to save for the next rewatch.

That is a level of self-control I cannot even begin to imagine.
