Twin Peaks: For What It's Worth

In the ep 14 scene w/ Andy and the Giant/Fireman, my first thought was "Barney Fife and Lurch, together again."

i was not aware of this short!
From the moment David Lynch started making films, he used Krzysztof Penderecki's compositions to score them. The first time was in 1967 for the 2-minute short “Absurd Encounter with Fear” starring Jack Fisk and Peggy Reavey.

Absurd Encounter with Fear, kinda sums him up right?
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
yeah, in some important ways it was all there at the beginning!
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 31 March 2020 00:43 (three years ago) link
that short has definitely not lost its power.

I watched s3e8 and a bunch of his shorts the other night. I had not seen these since about 14-15 years ago

wtf Cockney green-gloved YouTube star
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 31 March 2020 22:08 (three years ago) link
I have a theory about him that I will save until you get through the rest of the series, but yeah, he is a whole lot of wtf.

Green glove was originally going to be worn by Jack Nance, but he up and died.

oh man :( that would have been perfect.

I dunno, it’s so goofily discordant for me that I think I prefer it on this complete sore-thumb character. Though obv we’ve no idea what 2017’s Pete would be like.

had no idea Gordon Cole's name was a Sunset Blvd ref

omg you're so close

surprised that one went past Morbz tbh

I don't think he's even a character that appears onscreen in SB, fer chrissake.
brb gonna stick a fork in the socket

Viewing complete.
Final two eps had two of the worst moments of the series, ie (17) fucking Freddy punching BOB's volleyball and (18) the ludicrous Diane-Cooper sex scene.
I did like the resolution, which I interpret as... get ready...
You can't save anybody.

The scene where they are sitting in the car not saying anything for like 10 minutes is the one that broke me
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 4 April 2020 03:18 (three years ago) link
My theory about Freddie and his glove is that it is Lynch's take on Marvel-style superhero films
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 4 April 2020 03:19 (three years ago) link
freddie the glove is heroism as bathos

That immensely long YouTube piece arguing for the true nature of Twin Peaks as an exegesis of television itself is quite illuminating on those plot elements. I found it pretty convincing overall.

Maybe that's DoppelDiane instead of Real Diane.― Cannibal Adderley (WilliamC), Monday, July 17, 2017 9:27 AM
Kudos!
Also to Simon's podcast partner who called Diane as Naido.

I enjoyed the series very much.
And is the case with almost all of Lynch works, 10-20% of it was shit.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:01 (three years ago) link
btw when Cooper showed up at Carrie Page's door, she was speaking and acting very much like Kim Novak's Judy (her second incarnation) in her early scenes in Vertigo. I suspect that was conscious.

What did you make of Audrey by the end of her appearances, Morbs?
― donald failson (sic), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:11 (three years ago) link
xxxp it’s at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYnF5hOhuMBe warned it’s 4.5 hours but I suppose many folks have time on their hands. I watched it at 1.5 speed over a few days. It’s a little self-satisfied but I was persuaded by a lot of it.
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:20 (three years ago) link
jesus fuck
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:23 (three years ago) link
why is it so long
what I made of it, sic, is Lynch being cruel to the fans. Audrey is probably institutionalized.
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:23 (three years ago) link
I guess I was right! though I don't give a shit about anything that wasn't on the teevee.

yeah I don’t care about anything in Frost’s books (Jennifer Lynch’s Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer is proper Twin Peaks though)
― donald failson (sic), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:51 (three years ago) link
(and Frost should always be part of TV Peaks)
― donald failson (sic), Saturday, 4 April 2020 04:52 (three years ago) link
I agree, but the "explanatory" video has no truck with anything off-screen. I have no idea why it needs to be *quite* that long, but the presenter is anxious to demonstrate that every single thing in S1, S2 up to the reveal and final 2 eps, FWWM, Missing Pieces and S3 can be understood in that framework. I guess it's 40ish hours of material to cover. I was impressed, anyway.
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Saturday, 4 April 2020 05:08 (three years ago) link
i am intrigued, but i'll have to get over my natural distrust of a person who posted a 4.5 hour video on youtube
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Saturday, 4 April 2020 05:12 (three years ago) link
shoulda done about 20,000 posts instead
― brooklyn suicide cult (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 4 April 2020 05:19 (three years ago) link
I have similar distrust of "what's up YouTube" narcissists but the ideas are worth sticking around for

Thanks for listening :)

before the return came out i watched a 4+ hour video essay about peaks. lost in the movies' journey through twin peaks iirc? it was remarkable, and i think i was linked to it from here
guy who opens the TWIN PEAKS EXPLAINED video shouting "SPOILER ALERT" is a major dealbreaker
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link
yeah no one can really rival Bocko's Peaks scholarship
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:30 (three years ago) link
I watched the first 15 minutes or so of that YouTube explainer video and I just could not stand the terrible Lynch impression the guy insists on slipping into every time he reads a quote.
― OneSecondBefore, Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:49 (three years ago) link
BTW, The Lodgers was the best Twin Peaks podcast by far, y'all should team up again some time.
― OneSecondBefore, Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:54 (three years ago) link
Bocko is goodGuy who made TWIN PEAKS EXPLAINED taking four hours to explain that one very very very very obvious lens through which to view twin peaks is the only one is, I’m guessing here, bad
― Microbes oft teem (wins), Saturday, 4 April 2020 16:55 (three years ago) link
y'all should team up again some time
We're thinking about it :)

Felt good that I wasn’t alone upon my rewatch of the original run in thinking that Dick Tremayne is Wally Brando’s father.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 4 September 2020 06:26 (three years ago) link
The return of Dick Tremayne is definitely the ace up the sleeve for s4
― Alba, Friday, 4 September 2020 13:31 (three years ago) link
Just know Ian Buchanan would be up for it. Me too; call me Chris Kraus, cause I love Dick
