Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

candied boar's head = smoked cheese pig iirc

i love the scenes where ben and jerry bond over food. such a great double act

i've nearly finished this btw, about 6 episodes to go

man i hope catherine martell gets it

when the show originally aired i belonged to a twin peaks "discussion group" that met in a small local bookstore. we would watch episodes, pass around copies of sherilyn fenn's playboy pictorial, discuss the symbolic significance of owls, all while eating donuts and cherry pie. no brie sandwiches though.

when complete you should pause for about one month and then proceed directly to Fire Walk With Me.

actually you should rewind the world by about two years and THEN watch the film.

CUT TO:
INT. BENJAMIN HORNE’S OFFICE - DAY
We FOCUS on a CLOSE-UP of two green books vertically propped open on the floor with the binding up. We PAN UP to JERRY HORNE who is squatting on the floor near the books. JERRY holds a smoked cheese, in the shape of a pig, clenched in both hands along with a knife in his right hand. JERRY savoringly looks over the smoked cheese pig.
JERRY
      Brother Ben, we’ve got two ledgers and one smoked cheese pig. Which one do we burn? 
We FOCUS on a WIDE-SHOT of the office, BENJAMIN HORNE, holding a cigar, sits next to JERRY on the floor. Behind BEN and JERRY is a small fire in the fireplace. JERRY turns to BEN.
JERRY
      And it ain’t gonna be my pig. 
JERRY starts to naw on his cheese pig. BEN taps his index finger on the green ledger closest to him.
BENJAMIN
      The real ledger shows the mill slowly seeking into bankruptcy, masterminded by Catherine. The one she faked, for public consumption, shows the mill turning a healthy profit. 
JERRY
      So which one do we burn? 
JERRY returns to chewing on his cheese pig.
BENJAMIN
      Catherine’s dead. We put all of our money on Josie. Catherine takes the fall for the fire. Josie profits the insurance money, sells us the mill and the land and ... nah, wait a minute. 
BEN snaps his fingers.
BENJAMIN
      First she has to get dear Pete to sign on the dotted line. 
JERRY
      Why does Pete have to sign? 
BENJAMIN
      Andrew’s will calls for Catherine or her heirs to approve of any sale. 
JERRY
      So which one do we burn? 
JERRY returns to eating his cheese pig.
BENJAMIN
      Once Josie sells us the mill we could get a better price if it appears to be more profitable. 
JERRY
      So we burn the real one. 
BENJAMIN
      On the other hand, the real one would hold up under any future scrutiny. 
JERRY
      Depending upon on how one looks at the situation it appears ... they both have merit. 
BENJAMIN
      I know. 
BEN looks at JERRY.
BENJAMIN
      Maybe we should burn both of them. 
Smiling, JERRY looks at BEN.
JERRY
      (amused tone) It looks like we are one hundred percent certain that we’re not sure. 
BENJAMIN
      Jer, obviously something requires burning ... and since we don’t want to set fire to your smoked ... cheese ... pig. 
BEN stands up, pats his brother on the back and moves to his desk.
BENJAMIN
      Why don’t we uh ... 
BEN opens a drawer of his desk.
BENJAMIN
      ... try these? 
BEN lifts up a bag of ...
JERRY
      (excited) Marshmallows! Ben, where are those hickory sticks?! 
FADE OUT

The show came on the air at the exact time when at 19yo I was leaving Minnesota for the first time to move to the Northwest; it was some nice dovetailing.

JERRY

(excited) Marshmallows! Ben, where are those hickory sticks?!

ah the way he delivers this line killed me!

That's a great scene. The line I loved best was Jerry's gee-whiz excitement when he says, "It looks like we are one hundred percent certain that we’re not sure."

i was horribly sick the entire time this originally aired with stomach problems, and hospitalized twice during the run. honestly waiting for this show weekly saved my life a few times.

^^^lol for my part, I had v severe colitis all through the show's run. Finale happened shortly after my surgery iirc. It was indeed precious sustenance.

XXP Shasta:
I mean I ate it but I didn’t really know what it was. Then I read about it in this French magazine and they take the entire head and dip it in a kind of aplomage pudding. Then they roll it in oats. And stuff it full of walnuts and hot rocks and a spice cookie. They wrap it in popingnon. You seal the edges with a sugar glaze. Then you bake it under glass.

holy shit.

Doesn't that sound incredible?

For the marathon you should get some friends together and rehearse the "Just You And I" song and then come in and play that during one of the breaks.

Not enough is said about Little Jimmy Scott's appearance on this show.

It certainly made me buy a couple of Little Jimmy Scott records!

anyone mention how similar the pilots to on the air and 30 rock are? both based on the eddie murphy years of snl i believe.

i noticed that sebastian from blade runner makes a brief appearance in the diner during series one

j.f. sebastian i mean

is Ned still living life not having seen Eraserhead?

??? i'm trying to figure out who who mean... but are you sure this is not kyle's brother? there's like an intense close up and sidepan when he says something like "HOT DAMN THAT'S ONE FINE CUP OF COFFEE"?

Larry is not in Twin Peaks. sorry

arrgh

Will try & help, let's see if I end up looking the fool...

Oh, I don't know. Sorry.

For reasons that are beyond my interent technology comprehension, those kind of Blogger image urls aren't read as image links. If you try to host an image with a source URL like that on imgur, for example, it will tell you that the URL is not recognized. Since I've noticed it with those types of Blogger urls, I'm thinking maybe there is some kind of anti-hotlinking... magical spell... attached to the image source folder, maybe?

Those pics work fine if you have images turned off; I just click on the link and they open.

Yeah, you can view them in a browser directly by their URL. You just can't hotlink them.

Preventum Hotlinkarious!

I'm watching "Dreamscape" right now and Jerry Horne and Hank are both in it.

That movie was on heavy paid movie channel rotation when I was a kid and I must have seen it a million times. I loved it so much. He was also in Commando, which I've also seen a million times. Remember when I promised to kill you last? I LIED.

IMDB says that Jerry Horne was also in an ABC After School Special entitled "Date Rape," which think I am comfortable never, ever watching.

I probably said this up thread but Jerry Horne was also the lead singer of an obscure NYC no-wave band.

Jerry Horne also shows up the commie rabble-rouser in excellent Abel Ferrara/Christopher Walker/Chris Penn/Vincent Gallo gangster movie The Funeral

i'm pretty certain it's kimmy robertson aka lucy we're seeing in these new burger king commercials. so much beef for $3.99!

yep that was mentioned upthread

Hank turns up as marijuana farmer in Lost.

Hank also appears in an episode of the Garry Shandling Show

fuck

that's when i really noticed the sick brushwork and had to find out who was behind it.

you have to hear "up in flames" from judee cruise's second album (first appeared in lynch's industrial symphony no.1). the drumming is incredible!
