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

Yeah I guess, like Carel Struycken wasn’t even brought back for the film, & half the original cast had their scenes cut... the biggest absence from the return might be Donna considering her importance to the film. That said one of the moving things about the third series is how they bent over backwards to include people like Phoebe Augustine and Walter Olkewicz, or made Don Davis & David Bowie’s characters central despite both actors being dead, or how they replaced Michael Ontkean but made sure his absence was felt by making constant references to it, and so on.

I know ppl think ray wise didn’t get enough screen time or whatever but for a ruthlessly unsentimental assault on nostalgia it can be pretty sweet at times. But anyway yeah, I think if Lynch wanted to do more he wouldn’t be too stymied by missing actors - I really just mean I personally have a hard time picturing any kind of continuation without Albert and log lady ☹️

otm

I’m not expecting a new series, would be happy if Lynch just gets to keep making stuff, but will note that season 3 was also announced just a few months after a box set was released.

I could just as easily imagine it turning out to be a new series unrelated to TP

Wally Brando: The Return

Would love an American road trip w wally tbh

I really hate that this is the case but I get the feeling Lynch might come to the conclusion that he can’t get films funded unless they’re twin peaks-related, and if he wants to realise the ideas in the antelope don’t run no more he has to hang them on a continuation of tp

If there is another season, Cooper would need to fulfill his destiny in some way and be released. It would seem gratuitous to have *three* shockingly tragic endings for Coop.

i don't believe that at all. lynch will do what he wants to do. if he's done with twin peaks and wants to do other stuff i don't see why he couldn't get funding.

He’s been talking about the difficulty of getting his films made since before inland empire I think? idk it’s similar to what John Waters said a few years back about how small- & megabudget films get backed but the middle ground was disappearing (& he was like, I’m an old guy, fuck if I’m gonna be a guerrilla filmmaker at this stage of my career). From what it says in the biography antelopes is an ambitious script that would be expensive to film the way Lynch wants & that was a sticking point - I don’t think it’s exactly controversial to say that Showtime would probably not have signed on for Untitled 18-Part David Lynch Series in 2014

otoh things are quite different now with bezos tv putting out refn and such so who knows, I just don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that everyone’s in a mad rush to write cheques for the guy unattached to any “property”

Remember that Spielberg apparently had a hard time convincing studios to do the Abraham Lincoln film, which seems like as surefire a success as anything could be.
Maybe the film studio people are the dumbest people on earth. I remember seeing Will Smith explaining the concept of Bright as if he was trying to explain string theory and maybe he is just used to films being pitched to the least imaginative people who are supposed to gauge what the public will understand.

lol!

BY THE WAY regarding TWIN PEAKS

To the people saying "we're lying, we're full of crap, we don't know what we're talking about" etc

Just donate One US Dollar to our non-profit 501c3 foundation next year, when it turns out we're right https://t.co/FEdi8Qbezm 😊

rly hope it isn't more twin peaks :(

i'm excited for whatever he wants to make. he's making the best work of his career imo

rly hope it isn't more twin peaks :(

yeah idk dlh, I trust lynch to get whatever this turns out to be right

just finished a rewatch of the return, and while it was obviously incredible, the dougie storyline really opened itself up to me this time compared to the first, where I was kind of confused and found it repetitive. janey-E’s chrarcter and the mitchum brothers are highlights of the season

weirdly, I almost felt that the red room stuff was the least interesting part of the series? there were just so many fascinating terrestrial characters this time around...contrast this to the first two seasons where so much of the screen time was devoted to the teenagers, who were easily the weakest part of the series for me

it hardly needs to be said that the music and sound design in the return was so, so masterful. lynch was behind all that shit!

Honestly leaving aside part 8/18 and all the rest, the return would be worth it only for that scene of Sonny Jim Jones compulsively looping around the jungle gym. Vital shit

I honestly couldn’t even begin to describe part 8 intelligently other than it’s basically the best shit I’ve ever seen

i trust lynch to get anything right i just would much rather he got something else right cuz i'm rly sick of zigzags

i preordered "from z to a" yesterday

so the announcement's probably a nicer set

If this Very Interesting thing about the future of TWIN PEAKS isn’t nothing I don’t think it will be something that has nothing to do with twin peaks btw

Honestly if they did a region 2 from z to a set I’d prob buy it. If the new thing turned out to be something as simple as the feature where Lynch interviewed the Palmer family in character I’d be happy, that thing was haunting. He has a very good handle on this material

If nothing else there will probably be some kind of 30th anniversary activity.

do you recall my business rivals, and bitter enemies, the mitchum brothers?

the mitchum brothers plot line was soooo good

the part where candy goes down to the casino floor and they watch her perform inscrutable gestures for a long while on a big sony flatscreen until belushi yells "what the FUCK!!" is almost as meta as when the thing comes out of the watched box and lacerates you

this map is very old, but it's always correct.

jeez. even our fuckin orphanage had a gym set!

💙 picking the quotes that really give the lie to the notion that this show holds nothing in common with the show of “these grapes are right on the edge”, “now that some time has passed, I prefer the cool flower of the evening”, smoking a cigarette in the closet

I haven't yet rewatched the series a third time but I was just pondering some of my favorite moments and Mr. C's nonchalant, "Goodbye, my son" might still be one of my faves

The internet tells me that Jennifer Lynch is involved with the Hollywood Horror Museum.

I'm trying not to get all hopped up about this, but I am so stoked for anything new from Lynch.

As soon as the Return ended, I was hoping for another season that was smaller in scale, focused on Coop and Laura on the road getting wrapped up in mysteries.

18 hours of driving at night, not saying anything to each other

jesus yes pls

Chasing Judy through electrical outlets

my only prediction is that if there is indeed a new season, I wouldn't be surprised if Mark Frost wasn't involved this time around

It’s wild that, with FWWM as the connective tissue, The Return fully encapsulates and extends the original series. FWWM started that, having Cooper and Laura in the lodge together, teasing out the thread of s3.

Honestly if Jennifer Lynch really is the source then I'm suddenly much less sure of all this lol

Re Horse’s post, I think sometimes ppl overestimate how clued-in cast members are. Remember when the return was airing and josh fadem, who played dougie’s coworker Phil in like 3 scenes, tweeted a pic of himself at some red room popup & said something like “tonight’s ep is gonna rock” - & a bunch of geniuses convinced themselves this meant official confirmation of another part 8-style event, Cooper waking up, all sorts of craziness? & then delightfully the ep in question turned out to be part 12 (one of the best) and was mainly a series of long slow dialogue scenes, and maclachlan was only in it for 2 seconds, and people lost their minds

Also, there is apparently a twin peaks vr game/“experience” in production and Lynch is involved in some unknown capacity, so the exciting news could be him filming some new footage for that

remember richard and linda

jeez, what year is this

would be down for anything back in that universe. he wuldn't need to do a full series. look how impactful FWWM was; he could realistically do an amazing 2 1/2 hour movie. How much it relates to what happened before is kind of beside the point to me.

the misadventures of dr. amp

one rumor is that there is still tons of shit that was filmed for season 3 that may be leveraged.

Definitely need a Russ Tamblyn dance number with a golden shovel

remember all the great music in this
