The stars turn: the TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread

he just doesn't like to talk about it (or almost anything else) in interviews.

Mark Frost picked Vegas tbf

Lynch said since the initial announcement that frost came to him with a particular idea for what the new series could be and Lynch loved it and they started writing; sometime after the show finished he was doing an interview with a French magazine and they asked what that original idea of frost’s was & he said something like “dale Cooper wakes up in an empty house in Las Vegas” “and it just went from there”

thank you for that really excellent info wins

I plotzed when I learned that tbh, an incredible and v unexpected origin story for this show

it's nice to read stuff like that and hear it in your mind in david lynch's voice.

I just finished my first rewatch a couple days ago. It's consistently amazing to me how much more coherent Lynch's works become on a second or third viewing, although that was almost certainly aided in this instance by not having to wait a week between every installment.

I can't remember if this was ever brought up while the series was airing, but among the details that I first noticed while watching in higher def is the hilariously-wonky family portrait behind Lucy's desk.

haha that rules

Did the internet sleuths ever find out where the original photo came from? I remember that the picture of mr c in his mansion in “Rio” was at Al Capone’s house

Has anyone said that it sounds like Angelo Badalamenti is playing the chords to New Order's Subculture in the cherry pie scene at the casino, before going into "Heartbreaking." I mean, I thought it did.

that's not Badalementi

but yeah re: Subculture

That may explain why he didn't look like the guy I previously thought was Badalamenti. Anyway, the music.

I think I posted it before, but this feature on production designer Ruth De Jong is absolutely worth your time to read.

worth it just for the photo of Lynch (not in Cole drag) in Twede's / the Double R

Shout-out to production designer Ruth De Jong, who's so far worked on:

- Us
- Twin Peaks: The Return
- Manchester by the Sea
- Every Malick from Tree of Life to Song to Song
- PTA's There Will Be Blood to Inherent Vice run

Nice

I absolutely loved this. I still haven’t watched the last two episodes because I wanted to keep something to save for the next rewatch.

That is a level of self-control I cannot even begin to imagine.

BLANK AS A FART

Watched ep 11 before breakfast today, ie Shelley on the hood and Lillard's head exploding

oh that one rules. iirc: the sky vortex

Gordon staring intently at nothing was v good Lynch lols.

should a mod maybe lock this thread after Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

no, bcz it goes thru a very specific set of episodes!

Biden is Dougie
Trump is Mr C (and also Dougie)

btw i'm still listening to the Lodgers podcast after each episode, so thx Simon

no, bcz it goes thru a very specific set of episodes!

Would love a 4th season that is much smaller in scale. Coop and Laura driving around and trying to sort things out.

would def vote for Dougie Jones over Trump

sic never runs out of lame ways to GOTCHA me, no matter how absurd

sic is a pedant, which makes it extra-funny when he's wrong about stuff

Morbs, sic's job is to GOTCHA literally everyone in existence. It's nothing personal.

(Countdown to a 4,000-word refutation of my post.)

Morbs, I thought you might like to be able to read the discussion on the very specific set of episodes that you are currently watching. Apologies if suggesting that it is fun to engage with other people's thoughts caused offense.

I am aware of which episodes are in which thread

also if I read all the posts on each episode it'd be my luck to die right after ep17

thought Cole wd get sucked up to the sky vortex for a minute

I can't load this thread, so I don't know what I posted the first time, but I finished S3. Had to watch the last episode a second time when I was more alert.

Better prepared, it got better. I didn't worry about keeping the tone of 1/2--and even there, there's a split--accepted it as more of a Grand Hotel/Nashville shaggy dog story (reminded me of this bit from Zodiac: "A case that's covered Northern and Southern California, with victims and suspects spread over hundreds of miles..."). E8, conversely, seemed less impressive second time around.

I made peace with Dougie Jones (first time I wanted to put a bullet through my head)--that I'm in the midst of trying to train a puppy was helpful context. The conceit that the people around him don't seem to notice he has an IQ of 10, well, okay, that's the joke, or a big part of it. "What's he done now? He's in a coma!"--that made me laugh. I generally enjoyed his antics, but it was still a major thrill when it was the Cooper I love who reemerged from the coma.

Some of the original cast, I thought, actually gave better performances in S3, led by Dana Ashbrook and James Marshall for starters, who were a little overly method-y in the original. Enjoyed Gordon Cole a lot. The one original character who's totally wasted, I think--probably said the same thing first time--is Sherilyn Fenn. They could have done so much with Audrey. Robert Forster is excellent.

Some supplementary viewing was suggested to me in a different thread, but I just don't have the need or desire to make sense of it all, or anything even approaching sense. As with 2001, the ambiguous circularity is a far as I need to go. Right at the end, Cooper reaching out to take Laura's hand before approaching the old house, that was great.

i was really impressed by dana ashbrook in s3

Managed to load the thread...Not surprisingly, made some of the same points first time around, both pro and con. ILX has a very Twin Peaks circularity to it.
