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

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

imo screening two episodes a week would be an excellent way for an arthouse cinema to show this

dougy jones was made for imax

9 eps per day over one weekend or bust

when I first saw it I had to watch each episode twice in a row, there was so much to take in

I capped off summer 2017 weekends watching this with the girl I would later get engaged to that fall at Salish Lodge (aka the real Great Northern).

:)

always wanted to visit Snoqualmie

it makes me happy that that happened to you, Chris L!

Thank you, Dan! I certainly could have never imagined it.

yeah because they're doing great showing Siodmak noirs and Visconti melodramas. there are usually like 10 people at the revival series I go to. whenever they're anything DL related, they clean up. tons of people. they could show the entire S3 in installments over a month and make more than they ever would with Chinatown or whatever A24 has out now.

still, i for one welcome any and all support in my continuing endeavor to bankrupt movie houses

you are far away

what? do things appear?

Started rewatching from the very beginning. The pilot is such a perfect thing. It's interesting to see it again from the perspective of The Return. Gerard (one-armed man) was a traveling shoe salesman? At some point did he ditch the real world and wander into the red room for good?

I'm almost done with the first season and it still blows my mind that this was on network TV in 1989/90.

Shots of the Palmer house exterior give me the willies now. It is almost a character itself.

Who says Gerard/Mike was ever in our world or the lodge for real long stretches? (What is time to a being like that anyways?) Maybe he is back and forth, selling shoes to sherrifs all over the place, making valuable connections.

Occasional spells doin murders, when creamed corn is running low, I guess

Re network TV, did they even look at the episode with Maddie's murder before it aired? Yikes

I wonder if there is some connection between the way they highlighted the opiod crisis / general sad state of the youth in The Return and Mike appearing to be a good guy. His need for garmonbozia collection well looked after with a steady stream of suffering in the town he is minding. Of course maybe the entire thing is a trap for Cooper. Aah this show.

I don’t know if Gerard existed before MIKE - we know that MIKE is like BOB, and rebelled/converted, cutting off his arm. He hides in the Gerard identity, but whether it’s a possession or if MIKE/Gerard’s appearance is like the appearance of BOB when outside of his host.

(He hides with the use of anti-psychotics)

Right right. Gerard would've been born around the same time as Sarah and the bomb? Maybe a radioactive spider bit his arm.

Is MIKE one of the few people with understanding to mention God? “When I saw the face of God...” or what have you.

damn, I guess? The only split lodge spirit as well? The arm and Mike were one, right, not some kind of double possession before the arm came off?

I'm all kinds of mixed up now. I'm early into a rewatch and I checked out the new series of videos on YouTube by "corn pone flicks" (recently completed?) that gave me a lot new to chew on. Only half remembering all of it.

Extra-textual explanation would just be that it was the pilot, and the God stuff is just out of place.

laura palmer is the face of god/love

definitely some stuff in the pilot that it seems like they discarded. But didn't he talk God again when they were questioning him at the police station?

Brad, do we have confirmation on this?

I might be getting the timeline muddled. He certainly seemed more central in the pilot than he turned out to be, I guess?

I had some theories about MIKE being the only Lodge entity that looked the same in his real-world manifestation but they got shot all to hell over the course of The Return.

wait, what other forms does he have in the Return?

Brad, do we have confirmation on this?

nope it literally just occurred to me as an idea. sounds right to me, still

Brad, do we have confirmation on this?

Yes, Lynch explained it in both his Blu-ray commentary and in the many interviews he's given where he patiently answers in detail every lingering question about the show.

MIKE doesn't take other forms in The Return but I had some whackadoo notion that Doppelcooper would wind up losing an arm at some point or something, I don't even know, we were all in a wildly speculative mode back then.

lol what

also, Blu-ray commentary???

Yeah, he recorded several of them. Once he finally popped the cork he just couldn't stop explaining everything.

(If it isn't clear, I'm talking utter shit rn.)

you know i don't think i've ever really thought about this before but if bob had been successful in taking over laura the world would've ended pretty much immediately
