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

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!

some great stuff in this thread, but needs more stoned theorising and less season 2 subplot handwringing

would love to hear an interpretation of josie's transformation into a drawer knob

There was an article in i think The Observer last week that had interviews with some of the cast and Mark Frost. Turns out he was just as baffled by the drawer knob thing as the rest of us.

link pls.

this show has aged like an exquisite smoked cheese pig.

Josie in the drawer knob seemed like a pretty clear parallel to the Log Lady and her husband, with his link to her log, post-mortem. It wasn't developed much but spirits and wood seem tied together in Twin Peaks. It actually makes some sense to me, bad digital effects aside.

I've been watching Seinfeld reruns lately and am enjoying Grace Zabriskie and Warren Frost as George's fiance's parents.

Zabriskie and Frost are amazing in Seinfeld--stuff like the episode where George tries to bluff them out about having a place in the Hamptons. And Zabriskie possibly gives my single favorite performance in Twin Peaks. She doesn't get a lot of screen time, but she's a weird presence throughout. Her scream at the end of the pilot is inexplicably terrifying.

Hayward/Palmer in Seinfeld vs. Big Ed & Nadine Hurley in The People Under the Stairs?

Bobby has such a funny face.

I love Bobby. The show is so black-and-white about good vs. evil. Most of the characters are GOOD and constantly GOOD or EVIL and constantly EVIL. Bobby is one of the few (along with maybe Shelley?) who, although mainly bad and evil, seem to be on the verge of redemption a few times during the run (when he listens to his father's vision, when he tells Shelley he loves her in the hospital). He's also a really goofy actor, he's a lot of fun to watch.

oh come on Bobby isn't evil

he's just an idiot

Well not evil, but bad. He deals drugs, plots schemes, etc.

he killed a dude!

but he felt really bad about it

? I don't remember Bobby killing anybody
