lynch's contributions to the score are pretty rad imo
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Saturday, 6 April 2013 00:23 (eleven years ago) link
Will report back.
did we mention the hollywood dynastic thing with lynch? Laura dern, eric da re, i'm assuming the gyllenhall directing the second last episode is related, is the deschanel who plays lara flynn boyle's mother 'a' deschanel, etc
― mister borges (darraghmac), Saturday, 6 April 2013 00:28 (eleven years ago) link
Miguel Ferrer. Never noticed that.

is the deschanel who plays lara flynn boyle's mother 'a' deschanel, etc
Yeah Mary Jo Deschanel is Emily and Zooey's mom, her husband Caleb Deschanel directed a few episodes of the show and I *think* was the show's go-to cinematographer but I don't remember exactly.

If don't know much about Ferrer then even a cursory web bio on him could very well blow your mind. Dude has lived an amazing life.

I'm pretty sure zooey deschanel is also in twin peaks at one point. isn't she lara flynn boyle's little sister who plays piano?

oh wait no that was alicia witt
― akm, Monday, 8 April 2013 19:40 (eleven years ago) link
I dunno, seems like that would have been mentioned here? she just talks about being on set as a kid, not being in an episode.

Gordon Cole is the name of one of DeMille's studio flunkies in "Sunset Boulevard".

i'm sure this has been pointed out on this or one of the other TP threads but as a native washingtonian growing up in the 80s i think it's a thing of beauty:
d.b. cooper = man who (literally) dropped into rural wa and disappeared
h.s. truman = man who refused to leave his isolated home in rural wa and disappeared (under ash)
― dysentery, typhoid, pneumonia & thyme (discreet), Monday, 8 April 2013 21:56 (eleven years ago) link
although looking it up now the latter was actually harry R truman grr

WTF?!?!?!
about a year ago i realized that locomotion and the twin peaks theme made sense together, and recorded a crappy mashup of the two:

nearly finished my first watch through of this (watching it with housemates + never not with a joint)...two moments were completely fucking transcendental
1) bob killing maddy (i have legitimately never in my entire life been so scared by something i was watching. I remember closing my eyes really hard at one point and literally praying for the scene to end. horrific)
2) leland's scene in the cell with the sprinkler system going into overdrive.
FUCK HAROLD SMITH BTW

I love that baguette scene but it always really makes me want a baguette and there is never one around

a baguette and some good brie

I really have to rewatch the baguette scene because going over it in my head it feels like something I dreamed.

In some behind the scenes thing, they talked about Lynch making them do that scene a couple of times because they weren't taking huge enough bites.
― circa1916, Friday, 14 June 2013 16:49 (ten years ago) link
The best part is they take a huge bite in the middle of the baguette, not the end like any rational human being would. Ever since seeing that I always want to eat baguettes that way.
― bert streb, Friday, 14 June 2013 17:01 (ten years ago) link
Yes!
― Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 14 June 2013 17:05 (ten years ago) link
Hold the baguette on the tips of your fingers, take a big whiff, and chomp the middle. Turn to any interested onlooker, "you know what this reminds me of?"
― Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 14 June 2013 17:11 (ten years ago) link
There's something comically imperial about it, like Caesar returning from conquest and interrupting a meeting with these great foodstuffs for Mark Anthony - they're so powerful and fixated on their own pleasures that they go into epicurean ecstasies while the senate looks on, invisible and uneasy.

so I went to one of the local weekly screenings of Twin Peaks eps last night and the dude running the screening preceded the episodes with an episode of On the Air (from a Japanese laserdisc). I don't think I'd seen any of that since it originally aired, was great to be reminded what a bizarre oddity it was. Someone else described it as a show "about humor" by people who don't know how to tell jokes. Squiggy as the stage director with the impenetrable accennt was genuinely lolzy tho
― the Spanish Porky's (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 26 June 2013 21:36 (ten years ago) link
according to Wiki only 3 episodes of On The Air were shown in the States? we had the whole series on the BBC back in the day.

I haven't seen it after it originally aired, but yeah, I don't recall it being very funny either, just utterly bizarre.
