Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

xpost. it totally clarifies things, I had no idea that the Little Man was Mike ("I am the arm and I go woo woo woo"), or that the giant was also evil (he is also in on the gormonbozia eating).

This is wrong, the Giant isn't even in FWWM.

Yeah, it is a little rough, though the Little Man is the arm.

oooooooooooooohkay! Did not intend to post that thrice.

giant guy is evil?

Nope!

oh yeah, giant guy isn't in the film. but i mean that the film seems to indicate that all the inhabitants of the Red Room are evil (apart from Cooper and Laura Palmer).

Well, I'm not so sure about Mike. He wants the garmonbozia from Bob at the very end, but on the other hand he clearly is trying to warn Laura and stop Bob.

i am still trying not to read this thread

the downhill trend/Scott problem is coming back to me. Caleb is responsible in part for my favorite movie, so I remember hoping he wasn't too much to blame. i vaguely recall leo's return and am vaguely dreading it, tho anything to get bobby to shut up if that's a side effect.

i think the most unforgivable part of the second season is Windom using Leo as his slave, when he doesn't actually get him to do anything but sharpen sticks or whatever, just so there's an excuse for Windom to give long expository monologues.

but on the other hand he clearly is trying to warn Laura and stop Bob.

...but only because Bob cheated him and the arm out of their share of Garmonbozia. FWIW, I don't see the inhabitants of the Red Room or Lodge (or convenience store apartment) as evil forces or good forces; they're all a mixed bag and changeable.

No the worst thing about season 2 is the whole thing with James and the married couple that takes place outside of Twin Peaks and in no way ties in with the rest of the story.

^truth. the worst thing in tp history

yes I agree actually. Though obviously as above would suggest I'm on shakey ground with Twin Peaks. But really. It is soap opera, we know that, but don't move it out of Twin Peaks and then add nothing to it with petty soap opera bullshit. Also James can't act, I wish he got put down for putting the code red on Santiago.

xp Possibly the worst thing in television history.

HOw;s AN=nie?

A recurring problem with season 2 is that instead of playing with soap opera conventions, they'll just have a really bad soap opera plot.

I thought the James/femme fatale bits would have been improved if, in that town, a surreal, twin peaks-esque soap was popular on TV.

OK, so this is my new favorite thing: Agt. Cooper's dream sequence from the first season auf Deutsch! Interestingly enough, while the backmasked Black Lodge dialog is a German dub, the subtitles are in English. Really, that just seems to defeat the whole purpose of the effort, but who am I to argue with this treasure.

Oh God this is great. It's just that much creepier.

Also, I kind of love this tattoo.

If I were going to get a TP-themed tattoo, I think I'd go with Sherilyn Fenn's butt, with a butt-shaped tattoo on it, and I'd get it right on my butt.

in college i met this guy who had the map to the black lodge elaborately tattooed on his neck. i wonder what ever happened to that guy?

Vanished to an extradimensional plane if I had to guess.

I've been recording these off Chiller lately. Total classic.

That "Winkies" scene in "Mulholland Drive" still gives me the fuckin' major creeps.

Same here! What I find so fascinating about it though is that the LEAST scary part is actually when "evil dude" appears.

It's all about the build-up.

RIP don s davis

I wonder if he was hired for X-Files because of his role Twin Peaks? Both characters were army guys with UFO connections, seems too much of a coincidence.

bobby is looking rough.

did you pass him on the street or something

Must have Season 2!

Please help!

complete DVD box set with both seasons came out at least a couple years ago

http://www.greetingsfromtwinpeaks.com/us.html

UK, rather than US. I don't think the Season 2 situation is so clear cut over here in terms of DVDs that will actually work.

bobby is looking rough.

I saw an ad for a Lifetime movie starring him -- he just looked like an adultified Bobby, in a way that seemed almost a bit creepy! He has ... teenaged features, I think. They are not what you expect on an older person.

the gold box edition of the whole series was released in region 2 as well, it's on amazon.co.uk for about 60 pounds
