Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

Eddie Vedder is taking over as Donna iirc.

I saw this on the list:

Makinen, Karl
Malone

and I was briefly elated but ultimately deflated once I realized it was just a conflation in my brain.

Max Perlich is a good choice. Wish Lynch had utilized him back in the '90s.

is it just me or is that cast incredibly massive?

Struycken, Carel
Strobel, Al

:-)

it is insanely massive, some of these people will prob be onscreen for about as long as william h macy in inland empire

ha i can't remember william h macy being in that

he played the announcer on Diane Ladd's Hollywood talk show, he was onscreen for about 10 seconds

no buchanan ! dud

love that guy! no piper laurie either :-(

lots of singers here but no chris isaak?

casting Cera is worryingly "culty"

creamed corn kid all grown up hopefully

oh yeah, too bad no Chris Isaak or Keifer

Cera can do creepy/disconcerting well actually, see Entertainment

wtf @ so many musicians, is there a Peakstock subplot or something

Brett Gelman is a fantastic Lynch casting decision.

Tbh was kinda worried David Patrick Kelly wasn't coming back lol

Gelman is v predictable casting since he is on every show ever now

A little bewildered that they're bringing back Duchovny as Denise, but apart from the casting that subplot was less gross than it could have been, given the state of representation in the 90s.

My prediction is that Cera will play Andy and Lucy's son.

i missed a bunch of other names as well:

Among the names are a number of notable musicians, including Trent Reznor, his wife/How to Destroy Angels bandmate Mariqueen Maandig Reznor, Nine Inch Nails' Robin Finck, Sky Ferreira, Eddie Vedder, Sharon Van Etten, and Chromatics' Ruth Radelet. Lynch will appear in the series, too. Update (3:22 p.m.): The members of Au Revoir Simone (Annie Hart, Erika Forster, and Heather D'Angelo) have been confirmed as well.

John Ennis!

Ruth Radelet from Chromatics?! Crazy. Unless she's gonna be doing a Julee Cruise thing at the Roadhouse.

Be great if Twin Peaks became one of those shows where the cast all hang out at reliable local venue to discuss the plot, and the band-of-the-week plays a few seconds of a song.

Juuuuuuuuuust youuuuuuuuuuu and Iiiiiiiiiiii

My friend Sean Bolger is on that list (Morbs saw the show I directed him in in NYC in 2012).

I know I sang its praises somewhat recently when I first heard it (probably in this thread, even), but everyone needs to hear the soundtrack to the second season if they haven't already. I only half acknowledged its existence for the longest time, thinking it would most likely pale in comparison to the material on the first soundtrack, but it's amazing. It feels like Badalamenti really understood what Lynch was all about the second time around.

Harold's Theme is an all time song

harold's theme, hook rug dance, and big frank (which was reworked to be The Pink Room in FWWM) are all great

'I'm Hurt Bad' starts out as this histrionic rock number that sounds like the brooding inner torment of James set to music and then the bottom just drops out and you plunge into dark burbling weirdness and I love it.

'Night Bells' sounds like a featured track from some indie instrumental album out of a mid-'90s Touch & Go distro catalog.

The FWWM OST is also pretty good: don't do anything, moving through time, and a couple from Julee Cruise's second album.

Not only the season two OST but the twin peaks archive stuff they released a few years ago -- there's a lot of it but the best of it beats anything on the official OST albums

what's the archive stuff? I must have missed that

they sold them by download (maybe still do so?) track by track or as bundles on lynch's website. It was basically every single cue used in the series including alternate versions etc.

If they aren't selling them anymore I know a place you can DL them.

I need to redownload the TPA. Been loving the xiu xiu covers album too

im sad chris issak isnt in this. would have tied fwwm together better.

I'm a lonely guy just thinking baout Twin Peaks today. I was pondering whether Albert is maybe my favorite character and why that is (I think he had me at "I love you, Sherriff Truman.") when I realized that I might actually be Albert (if perhaps less vocal and vehement in my near-constant irritation with the world around me). Not sure how I feel about that. Still adding my voice to the chorus of Alber lovers upthread nonetheless.

there are some really minor characters they're bringing back if the cast list is any evidence (ronette pulaski!). also they seem to be bringing back some characters who died. i'm half hoping it's a total mindfuck that relates obliquely to the chronology of the TV series and film, but the sheer number of returning characters (again, on the evidence of the cast list) would seem to point in a more traditional direction.

it's hard to imagine how they are going to shoehorn all those characters in two 10- or 12-episode seasons, though. maybe they all make an appearance in a group photo session at the black lodge.

All of the celebrity musicians will be briefly seen inside the Black Lodge recording a benefit song for garmonbozia awareness before disappearing in a flash of electricity.

ronette pulaski isn't that minor, she was the other victim of the crime that the entire series revolved around!

she has like 4 lines of dialogue and appears in few episodes

easily one of the top 5 portrayals of being in a coma in the series

It may be instructive to remember the number of people who were cast in and who filmed scenes for FWWM who didn't make it into the final film.

i love the missing pieces dvd

Me too

xps michael j anderson was in 3 episodes and had even less dialogue & I think people were still expecting him to be in this. Augustine features prominently in the pilot & fwwm &has striking cameos in other lynch-directed episodes including the finale. Plus yknow the thing I already just said. It isn't just about minutes of screen time.

sure but i imagine if you asked "who are the top ten actors from 'twin peaks' who you think will be asked to join the cast of the revived series," "phoebe augustine" would not be in many folks' list.

Is the mayor dead? He has to be dead, right? Damn. He was my main dude.

My prediction: Bad Dale is the new mayor of Twin Peaks.

do you think they will follow up on the little nicky subplot? i want to know what 35-year-old nicky is up to. big nicky.

Aw, I just realized that nu-Twin Peaks is going to be Dick-less.
