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

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

(yes)

I think I revealed that I love the Freddie-BOB punch-up but I don’t think I ever revealed that I love the limo sequence with that corny viva Las Vegas cover, which may be more controversial

(actually the viva las vegas scene leaves me breathless and floating-- flying thru a dream city to meet your murderers who will miraculously last-second realize you're people in a desert who share each others' dreams. attaches intense emotional weight+meaning not just to the sentimental feeling evoked by chintzy muzak but also to the fact of its chintziness) oh xp

i haven't reached it on this rewatch but previously the freddie-bob punchup has been harder for me to enjoy except on a once-removed "lol they really just did this" level-- hoping to be ravished by it as such this time

i do think freddie's story is hilarious, with the wholly uncryptic giant

Wholly uncryptic giant iirc in the same episode where we see andy meet him in similar circumstances and his only spoken dialogue is “I am the fireman”

It’s been a while but I really find the BOB attacks to be peak high-anxiety lo-fi digital action, to me the whole sequence flows perfectly out of the reprise of the part 8 moonlight sonata and into the we live inside a dream. I’m wholly on board with Freddy but that’s almost beside the point

freddy was the low point of the series for me, no one is ever going to convince me otherwise. that's sub season-2 stuff.

Agreed. Doesn’t Lynch have people to distract him when he gets obsessed over YouTube stars?

you mean shoveled

I really find the BOB attacks to be peak high-anxiety lo-fi digital action

i can see this-- despite more absurd trappings it is a lot like the boss fight in inland empire.

unrelated and possibly eisegetic thing i recently enjoyed is that the last thing we hear an instant before cutting to our very first glimpse of audrey is "THE NINTH CIRCLE OF HELL WILL WELCOME YOU!!!!"

there's thousands of miles of woods out there, audrey.

I liked Freddie/Bob fight because it was so thoroughly ridiculous and over the top. It was a perfect way to end the fantasy world of Twin Peaks, only to dump you into the real world hell of Richard, Linda, and Carrie.

The size of Truman's office in that scene only makes sense if you have to accommodate about 20 people there at once. I could picture that being the Fireman's doing as well.

9 hour supercut with most of the Dougie content excised.

The size of Truman's office in that scene only makes sense if you have to accommodate about 20 people there at once.

There might be 20 people in the scene but hardly any of them are actually on set "at once". That's one thing that makes the silliness of the fight hard to take: that it keeps cutting to different individuals or groups of people apparently shot several months apart.

That extremely wide doorway tho

should I get DUGE LV vanity license plates

anyway the potential for this is currently the only good thing in the US so I'll hope for it fervently

If you are hungry for Twin Peaks content, I highly recommend the Access Guide to Twin Peaks.

Way better than the recent Frost books.

Maybe not as important as the Diary of Laura, but more fun.

yeah I read that multiple times. it's cute I guess. the Frost books were irritating, like bad X Files novelizations.

at this point I think TP is better the more obscure and less sense it makes. attempts to force structure and sense on it just come across bad.

yeah lol at the idea that there is some masterplan the series only show glimpses of, and it can be deduced from clues. Lynch works so instinctively that this is the opposite of the truth. The "real" Twin Peaks is right there on the screen in front of you, and the world-building is pursued only as far as is needed to give the images cohesion and power.

Diary > Access Guide > Autobiography of Coop >>>>> Secret History >>> Final Dossier

Access Guide is fun and enjoyable because it's not trying to be important, but had some legit LOL moments. I reread the Autobiography of Dale recently and liked it a lot more than I expected. Not great literature by any means, but much better than it needs to be.

The Frost books are just... so much effort. In their production and the reading of them. Whenever they did have some interesting tidbit, it didn't seem to amount to much because it didn't feel "real." I can imagine Lynch rolling his eyes at a lot of that stuff. Not to discredit Frost's contribution to the show.

Currently reading the Wrapped In Plastic book, which collects John Thorne's stuff from WIP magazine. Not nearly as many half-baked theories as I was expecting and the episode guides are nice to read after a re-watch. A lot of info on deleted scenes that show different directions TP could have gone in.

Got a set of Blue Rose magazines which I have yet to really dive into.

I really love Lynch/Twin Peaks but you guys seem completely mad

I mean that as a joke, I love these posts

Reflections: An Oral History of TP is pretty good too.

Yeah, the wife started looking at me funny when the magazines began showing up.

The speculation about who the girl that was occupied by the moth/frog thing seems silly when it’s very close to the episode where Sarah flips her lid and fucks up that dude

The Freddie story I took as Lynch's superhero MCU sendup. It's tonally jarring but I think it's funny.

Probably got the idea from those Hulk gloves that were popular a few years back.

Lynch said the green glove was an idea he originally had for Jack Nance.

Can confirm that a #TwinPeaks production member whose name appears in the opening credits told me that they "don’t comment on rumour". And followed that statement with a WINK emoji.

Any particularly interesting ones?

In case anyone is stuck for a way to close out the decade, I reckon starting pt17 at about 22:05 would get you “what year is this” at around midnight

i buy this
