Amph "I'll see you again in 25 years" - The Twin Peaks thread

I've never given this show a chance because I've never dug David Lynch or the weird **** I've seen on snippets here and there. I mean, is it that good?

 

um, not if you don't dig david lynch or weird ****. like duh.

Woo hoo.

 

How are they going to get around the Bob issue? Just say he's a spirit so can change form?

 

So witty!

 

Well, he's right. "I don't like sci-fi or overacting. Will I like Star Trek?"



BOB could always look like Leland Palmer now...

 

Wonder if Duchovny gets to reprise his role.

 

hmm. i hope the whole thing takes place inside the black lodge. i can't get enough of that place.

 

I hope characters are constantly talking about garmonbozia. All of them.

 

I want every line to be "How's Annie?"

 

Last time I rewatched the series I ended up having a horrible nightmare about the Black Lodge, with nothing but that floor pattern, red curtains, the jazzy chords, and an indescribable feeling of horror.

I can't wait for more.

 

Hayden Christensen to the rescue!

 

You take that back!

 

Kyle MacLaughlin just got a recurring gig on Agents of SHIELD. Geez, finally gets a steady TV gig and then they bring back Twin Peaks a few days later.

 

Al, Peaks won't film for a year. Who knows what he'll be doing on shield by then.

 

One day my log will have something to say about this...

...actually, my log is quite happy with this news.

 

I hope Log Lady is still alive.

 

It is. You should check it out only because it is a definitive piece of film making. You can't even say it represents a real world time (ie. it's not 80's or 90's pop culture) because it really is its own genre.

But yeah, it's very Lynchian/Frostian, so the snippets do represent the atmosphere. If you don't like that style, then you don't like it, but keep in mind, it's not just a random parade of weird events strung together like what are shown in highlight reels. Everything does fit together. If I were you, I'd watch at least the first episodes when Lynch and Frost were still more heavily involved. I don't have an episode guide in front of me, but I'd like to say the first 10 or so? After that, the network pressured them to solve the murder and related plot points, and Lynch in particular, reduced his involvement with the show. The episodes that followed were more for the die hards.

To whom this may sound familiar...

 

I know, so sad. I owned most of these and I'm ritually burning them in the woods outside my house, where dark things live.

 

I don't know. I never read the Black Lodge novels, but I think it's probably a good thing that Twin Peaks Meets Spawn Vs. Predator stay buried and forgotten.
