Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

i miss this show

My wife and I rewatched The Return for the first time again. We loved it the first time around and loved it even more this time, getting through it in less than a week. Would love to see it come back again, but I guess the chances are very slim.

Yeah. I’ve seen a few people get excited about a possible new season based on some vague evasive response Lynch gave in some interview but I highly doubt we get any more tbh - the surviving cast & crew would be up for it, I think showtime would put up the money again, and even though it feels pretty complete I have faith that Lynch & Frost could cook up something, but reading the biography it’s pretty clear that working on the return took a pretty drastic toll on Lynch (not to mention his marriage). He was basically sick for the entire shoot, I just don’t see him taking on another project of this scale any time soon. It seems like he’ll keep directing if he can get funding from Netflix or whoever but something tells me his next thing will be a different beast altogether. Which is fine, I can be content with “only” sixteen and a half new hours of miraculous tv, but of course I’d love to experience something of this quality on a weekly basis again.

Also coincidentally as I was typing this the twin peaks theme came on the radio!

It made me think of the opening credits with the drone shots of the falls and the whirling red room and how they managed to completely change the way you experience such a familiar piece of music: no longer stately but vertiginous

miraculous is rly the word isnt it

wins should write a book about this show

i'm happy with Twin Peaks being left alone. that was the way to go out.

but yeah, i don't see any reason why guy couldn't get the dough from Netflix or similar for a new film or mini-series if he's got ideas. they're throwing money everywhere and a new Lynch project is guaranteed to get eyes.

i don't want or expect this show to get picked up again, it ends perfectly, i just miss the experience of regularly watching something this great, like being hypnotized and led into another world for an hour each week

no kidding
it was heavenly

i get that impulse but i was also very skeptical that "the return" was going to be good before it came out and look what happened there

see you in 25 years

its not happening againg ;_;

Hold on to hope, guys, maybe Frost will put out another couple of books.

Cosign what everyone said about the week-to-week viewing experience being so great. I don't need more of TP specifically but Lynch is all-time for me and whatever he gets done, if anything, I will watch.

re-watching the Return all in one concentrated go, it was interesting how straightforward it all felt! Like from week-to-week it was more baffling but when you're just rolling through it it all seems very coherent, even obvious - at least until the end.

Still haven't rewatched The Return since that week-to-week odyssey, but what you say is imo true for Lynch's work in general. The first time or two I'm reeling as I try to reconfigure my brain to Lynch's perspective and then everything just clicks on subsequent viewings.

well

its probably a lot to do with knowing second time around whether there even was a plotline, let alone knowing which aspects were and weren't sidelines to one

Having read the McKenna bio Lynch co-authored, I highly doubt he'll even make another film. The script he has completed sounds fascinating (Antelope Don't Run No More), would love to see that - but there's one detail from the book I keep thinking of... Lynch waking up from a nap, not knowing where he was, tired & sick, calling his girlfriend "I'm so tired. Everyone here is younger than me."

lynch otm

the fact that i didn't enjoy the return has became a bit of a millstone around my neck whenever it comes up in conversation. everyone loved it apparently.

for once I'm not trying to challop :c

FWIW I wouldn't be inclined to quibble with someone who didn't dig a Lynch joint. It's like telling someone to smile. You feel it or you don't.

iirc my first ilx post is literally "lynch fans are poseurs lying to themselves and god"

wondering today if I could shove a fork in the electrical outlet here to restore what the parts of myself that seem to be lost

I glanced at this and for a second thought there was going to be a new season made for radio.

This is the water

:(

It has come to my attention that, despite indications otherwise, this is not an egg boy retweet. I am, of course, devastated, but I am also holding out hope that there are several Will Connollys wandering this earth, after they were split apart at the Black Lodge

We need a video of the egging set to that blunted beatz track

Egg boy not being a Twin Peaks: The Return fan is his milkshake duck moment for me. :(((

This is likely to be the nicest thing anyone will say about me all year btw 🖤

(Look out for it in 2042)

Oh god the lynch masterclass is real I thought it was a joke

i'm slowly doing a full re-watch as well as checking out Bluray extras for the first time, and some YouTube theory type videos. Bit of fun. These were interesting...

That all probably goes totally against whatever I thought on first viewing, which is all jumbled/half forgotten at this point. Very interesting to think about.

First one better than the second

It is, apparently, two fucking years since the final episode

jesus

after reuploading/republishing the pod I've been itching to do a full rewatch. Caught a screening of 1/2/8 at the Lightbox a few weeks back which was dope

The Diane podcast has stared going over s3 again, episode by episode. I haven't rewatched it recently, but it's so nice to be thrown back into that world

I'd sort of like to do a 5-year anniversary thing if I get the sense we could coax a cool guest or two, but that's all I'm ready to think about doing lol

Unboxing video of that new ltd ed box or gtfo

(Unboxing vids do kinda have the feel of something Lynch would do)

What's different about that version? What would you like to see done with it? How could it even be released? Longest ever iTunes store movie?

I hope I can find the few extras from the new Blu-ray online sometime. I'm not buying all of it again!

My understanding is, just as I said in my post: Lynch has remixed the sound for cinemas

What I’d like to see done with it I thought was also clear: I’d like for it to be exhibited more than once ever. I (and others too, I reckon) would be up for seeing it in a theatre, without having to travel to New York/January 2018 to do so

there could be a weird motel you walk into that leads you into New York, January 2018

sorry, this was quite a poor effort on my part. I even had to Google "dcp". Best of luck in your endeavor to bankrupt movie houses

I think wins wants it to be available in cinemas, meaning he'd be paying to see it live?

(dcp meaning the digital release that is sent directly to theaters in place of film reels in the current time)

I'll see you at the curtain call

The moma screening was free! Also, split across several nights. Here in the uk there’s a pretty expensive 3-day festival for fans of this series and it always sells out insanely quickly, I might be wrong but I reckon if a movie house put this on as a special event at an appropriate price it wouldn’t lead to bankruptcy

I was being (lowkey) hyperbolic when I said “lowkey criminal” I don’t think anyone should be arrested for not screening this every weekend until they go bust, I was just trying to say it would be cool to see it

I demand it be screened every weekend
