Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

hmmm...

Lee David Roth?
Long Distance Relationship?

(Llama Del Rey)

Apparently that season 3 graphic novel wasn't a thing that actually happened? I thought it eventually was released and I was just avoiding it.

No, never happened. It got as far as some preliminary artwork and Bob Engels was on board to write, but then the idea was put to Lynch and he politely requested it not be taken any further.

there was another planet involved. It sounded too literal.

Yeah this is a total rumor. Also not really sure Evil Cooper would be able to hold season 3 together like Good Cooper held 1 and 2.

Wasn't Coop going to vanquish Bob if S2 had been allowed to run its full course?

S2 was 20+ episodes, it did run its full course?

only stuff I heard about season 3 was Major Briggs and Sheriff Truman working on a rescue plan to get the good Dale out of the Lodge

I think it was also intended that they find a lost page of Laura's diary that has the "good dale is in the lodge" passage that Annie told her to write

i heard s3 would just be s2 played backwards

If Season 3 is supposedly still gonna revolve around "Evil Cooper"/Bob, how would they do it when Bob's actor is dead?

thinking about this show still gives me massive creeps, especially at 3AM. I sometimes feel like watching it damaged me permanently.

This might also be a good time to point out that I am really tired of getting facebook ads from "Brooklyn-based Lynch-influenced electronic pop duo" Silent Drape Runners.

well Kyle MacLahchlan is also 23 years older! So in the unlikely event that this is real it's either a continuation of that "25 Years Later" theme or just another story set in that world.

Well yeah, but the rumor Johnny Fever linked to specifically said the plot is gonna revolve around the mystery of Evil Cooper/Bob. And since Bob is a spirit who doesn't age, I don't see how the "25 years later" thing is gonna help resolve the non-existence of Frank Silva?

eh it just said bad coop is in jail and they show good coop in the red room, not that it will be all about BOB

also, it's a TV show that for all its qualities is not particularly noted for its documentary realism.

BOB is also sort of a fantastic spirit/non-human metaphor for evil, as well. I don't think there needs to be absolute continuity in any of the red room. Also lynch made a movie where bill pullman turned into balthazar getty an hour into the film, so i doubt this would bother him much.

anyways, let's be fully aware that all this speculation is rooted in a 4Chan post. XP

Lynch should just project Silva's face atop someone else's head a la that scene in Inland Empire.

Also two actresses have already portrayed Donna Hayward so I'm sure they'll figure something out.

Enjoying Gary Hershberger (Mike) as Gilardi in Six Feet Under--quite slimy.

Continuity is something they really shouldn't worry about if they did try and relaunch this show. As long as Coop's in it they could recast the whole thing...except bring back Harry & Horse as well.

this really is a terrible idea, may it never happen

It would be great if they made a crazy pilot for it, got it rejected, and then turned it into a bat shit insane movie.

What a patently ridiculous idea. It'd never work.

well it was fun while it lasted

let's hope for a new season of twin peaks scored by kevin shields

oh well! as badly as i want more twin peaks, morbs is probably right.

Honestly, I'd be happy with any TV or film project involving David Lynch, but I'm starting to suspect that he's done.

he was on tv a bunch last year

No, he said he finally found a new project in November.

An actual film project or some other wacky non-film pursuit?

Actual film

He said it will "eventually" happen

Not so sure film project and wacky non-film pursuit are mutually exclusive terms when it comes to Lynch. He's always had a Zen/intuitive/new agey way of approaching his art. It will be done when it comes to him.

Asked whether filmgoers should expect a new feature, Lynch said: “Something is coming up. It will happen but I don’t know exactly when.”

Hopefully his next movie will have an actual script, so we won't get another amorphous mess like Inland Empire.

inland empire was fantastic; also v. quotable

Watched the pilot last night. Pausing breaking bad for series one of this instead

watched twin peaks season 1 this week, it's held up really well. the david lynch-directed episodes really shine with oddity and pathos, but the rest of the episodes work pretty well at filling out that universe, without being too weird for the audience, while also without totally destroying lynch's vision for the series. + rewatch value, when you know who killed laura, it adds a huge layer of creepyness and double meaning to whole swaths of the show.

season 2, as i recall, is good for the first 2 episodes, then there are a few & far-between moments of interesting weirdness over the course of the rest (for instance david duchovny in fbi drag lol) then lynch implodes the whole thing in a fine manner for the season finale.

also fire walk with me is the insane frikkin prequel, it's hardcore and insanely creepy enough to get booed at cannes (a good sign to my mind, especially after all the raves over the middling "wild at heart")

Ach this has gone to shit

lol

it comes back stick with it as i was encouraged to!!

i tried to read through the thread but jesus tuomas

how far are you darragh?

i'm gonna take a wild guess and say season 2, ep. 12

oh, season two gets difficult well before spisode 12 iirc. i have come to appreciate season two on its own merits, slim as they may be. just such weirdness.

yeah i love s2. it is trickier but it's also hilarious.

12 (or 11, or 13, in that range) isn't where it starts getting too weird to enjoy, but it feels like a point where the weirdness accumulates to the point where you think nothing will ever make sense again

Just finished episode where killer is revealed
