madchen amick was SO hot, sherilyn fenn too, how the hell laura flynn boyle ends up the one we're stuck with fifteen years later is a mystery

yeah the dwarf says it too, but I can't remember the sequencing of it - I think that's in one of the later Black Lodge sequences, in the red room...? At the Roadhouse Leland's offered a stick of gum by someone and he recognizes it from his childhood - then they take him to the station and arrest him and he goes loony.

yeh Sherilyn's tops TP woman in my book. I always though LFB was pretty bleh, compared with much of the other stellar acting.

Now I remember, the giants says "There is a man in a smiling bag"
Later Cooper sees a "smiling" body bag used to house Jacques.

Every once in awhile, me or my dad will launch into that "TWELVE RAINBOW TROUTS IN THE CAB" speech fisherman dude gave the cops about his stolen truck. It's the roffle moments I always forget about in TP.

I think there's supposed to be some symbolism (Arthurian?) in that twelve rainbow trouts riff, but I can't remember off-hand what it is... either way, great bit.

Christ as Fisher of Men, 12 Fish = 12 Apostles
Fisher King = King Arthur

The smiling bag clue was the first, I think. "Without chemicals, he points" was the final clue, and it came true when the one-armed man, without his medication, pointed at Leland (but Cooper didn't see/realize it, if I remember correctly).

did paramount get the rights to the pilot as well? Spencer: right now even the box set of the first season doesn't include the pilot because the rights were owned by someone else, so the only way to see the pilot is on that import dvd (which has a speed problem, everything runs slightly fast)

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:21 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah the second season premiere (which was like one of the most anticipated tv episodes ever - don't forget that twin peaks was initially a HUGE tv smash, big ratings, mag covers etc) was filled with david lynch tests the patience of his viewers craziness. god bless him.

i love those parts. where he fucks with scene duration. a scene in which nothing happens plotwise will take 5 minutes (an eternity in tv time). the best example is the "playtime" homage in the final episode, where the old codger takes what seems to be a full hour getting from one end of the bank to the other. also the very beginning of that episode, with sherriff truman and andy as audience surrogates, anxious waiting for cooper to come out of the black lodge, and IIRC discussing coffee (naturally).

More Twin Peaks DVD news. The forthcoming release will benefit from brand new video transfers and work is being done on extra features.

Nice. I'm glad I've held off all this time on the DVDs, patience has its virtues...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

uh, i really doubt they'll be re-releasing the existing season one dvds....

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:56 (nineteen years ago) link

EXTRA FEATURES. They'll use them to rerelease anything.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 24 February 2005 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

do you an extra feature could involve only putting out the episodes that lynch directed himself?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:11 (nineteen years ago) link

s'only like 5 or so

― The Argunaut (sexyDancer), Thursday, 24 February 2005 21:12 (nineteen years ago) link

what lynch directed:

- the two-hour pilot
- six episodes of the series (including, i believe, one two-hour episode at the begining of season two)
- "twin peaks: fire walk with me"
- "the twin peaks holiday special" (hosted by lou diamond phillips and featuring the animated dwarf and giant vaudeville duo)

Another update from www.dugpa.com

"February 15th 2004
Latest Rumor for Release Dates of Twin Peaks Season 2 in Europe Region 2
Leonard Krantz sends me an email today stating that Paramount will be releasing the Twin Peaks Season 2 DVD set split up into two box sets containing 4 discs each. The first to be released on September 22nd, 2005, and the second half on October 20th 2005. The set is supposed to contain new video transfers, 5.1 newly re-mastered audio, and extras to be announced. I'm looking into this rumor, but so far, it sounds pretty dead on. Eventually a US release will follow."

two months pass...

The DVD release of Twin Peaks from Paramount has now been delayed until spring 2006. This is give them time to work on the picture/sound for the release - apparently David Lynch himself is involved in the remastering process. I know it's another delay, but at least it sounds like Paramount is committed to bringing out a quality product.

This is gonna turn out to be like that MBV box set, isn't it....

I saw that movie in the theater when it came out.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 13 May 2005 17:20 (eighteen years ago) link

Twin Peaks has the best understanding of supernatural/dream logic ever in a major TV show.

― latebloomer: the rebel sound of grits and bacon (latebloomer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw that movie in the theater when it came out.

me too.

she was so hot in that.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:23 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw "License to Drive" in the theater, too, but only because they wouldn't let me in to see "Colors." As I recall, Heather Graham was pretty foxy in it. Not bad for a teen hijinx flick.

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:24 (eighteen years ago) link

shes still in the black lodge. laura had a vision of her!

Yeah, but that vision happened before she ever went into the lodge. Dale's the one still in there.

― The Yellow Kid, Friday, 13 May 2005 17:27 (eighteen years ago) link

oh thats right the apparition said the good coopers still in their. sorry, jumbled memory!

― latebloomer: the rebel sound of grits and bacon (latebloomer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:38 (eighteen years ago) link

is it just me, or has heather graham been between the ages of 17 and 30 for about 25 years?

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:48 (eighteen years ago) link

more like 15, which would make sense

― The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:53 (eighteen years ago) link

it seems like lifetimes between the 'license to drive', 'twin peaks', and 'austin powers' eras. i was astonished to realize that 'twin peaks' came only three years after 'license to drive'. but those were my formative years, so it's understandable.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Friday, 13 May 2005 17:58 (eighteen years ago) link

what about ROLLERGIRL

(but yeah, I was abt to make the "ageless" remark as well, it is kinda weird)

"gotten" is a funny word.

Fuck! I don't want to wait until 2006! This came out when I was three or four (that should make most of you feel old) and so I barely remember any of the episodes from Season 2. In fact, I barely remembered the first season from that age aside from the opening sequence and the glitchy-electric Lynch/Frost Productions credit.

First season's utterly classic, and I did succumb to buying the Korean import of the pilot episode as well as Eraserhead (as a Korean import as well) from eBay. "Falling" sounds even more haunting in the pilot because of the off-kilter speed they mastered the episode at.

I have some reasonably bad but watchable video files of season two

i have the vhs copies recorded in EP mode! rock!

I still haven't seen all of twin peaks and I think I really need to.

There's a pretty good (VHS?) rip of Season 2 doing the rounds on bittorrent at the moment - it is misplabelled as being a DVD rip and the group who released it called themselves medieval

twin peaks s02 dvdrip xvid medieval

I am making my way through the first series at the moment. It's very funny. I didn't remember it as funny. It reminds me of The Fast Show bolted on to a thriller chassis, lots of one-trick characters doing their catchphrase in different situations, then on to the next scene. I like it a great deal.

I wonder if I've said this before?

― Tim (Tim), Thursday, 27 October 2005 14:37 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe it's a rip of the laser discs, wasn't the whole series on laser disc at some point? anyway thanks for the tip
