I really like parapolitical weirdness and am also generally pretentious as hell.in regard to art in general. Ask me what I think about Andy or whatever (he's a whole town and a beacon of light)

me after the first eight episodes of the return: when is dale cooper coming back????
me after the first sixteen episodes of the return: WHEN IS DOUGIE COMING BACK????
you should watch "the beast" by bertrand botello from last year, its a great film quite clearly inspired by the return. also i feel you there are very few things i can get as obsessed about as twin peaks
Love it. It's a deeply intimate exploration of violence and grief as well ad a few other emotions and how or media created the cultural framework for how it's expressed and how thst relationship effects people and it takes a very unflinching view of the beauty and ugliness within American culture with the acknowledgment there's a deep grotesquery that exists behind any beauty that can make itself shown in such a deeply bloodstained land. It's coffee and cherry pie and a man beating his wife wife soap in a sock in the same episode with the sa.e sincerity. It's the highest of hope contracted with the deepest darkness and it's expressed in absolutely striking ways.
Also James. James has always been cool.
Also James. James has always been cool.
That line is the worst part of the return. Not only has James never been cool, but Shelley Johnson would absolutely never think he was cool.
It's also my favorite lone from the Return and I quote it constantly lol
I need to go to bed and that's paragraphs, if I do t get back to you remind me. But it's a place we've all been to
I'd be curious to read your multiparagraph analysis of the Black Lodge too, once you're rested up enough to delve into it.
What's up with the weird breakfast scene between Audrey and Cooper in e4 or somewhere around there? Is Cooper too accepting of Audrey's advances? Is he just playing the right angles for the case? I don't think he's aware of One-eyed Jack's at the time, but I might be misremembering and the scene always struck me as a little creepy.
Post black lodge Cooper SAs Audrey if thst answers any questions.
Hey, why did they need to make that one white lady disguise herself as a horrible Japanese businessman stereotype for multiple episodes as a big twist reveal that she didn't actually die off screen? That kind of sucks and I stopped watching the show after that.
It was supposed to be a parody of soap operas doing both of those exact things. One, bringing back a 'dead' character, and two making it very obvious that someone is disguising themselves as someone they clearly are not, sometimes in a bizarre or racist way. The Bold and the Beautiful did that again in 2022. The concept didn't really change, just the context that the entire show is built around those soap opera tropes and aesthetics. I can see the argument that they didn't really need to make her a Japanese man though and didn't need to lean into the racist part.
That's the real low point of the show. Totally worth skipping. Come back for the last two episodes
What is your favorite scene and why is it when Bobby walks backwards?

I hear "and the asphalt MAN" maybe once a week in my head
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I watched a few episodes but haven't seen any twinks did i stop too early?
Have you listened to the twin peaks archive that Lynch and Frost released in like 2007? It was an online only compilation album featuring almost all music from the shows first two seasons and it's like 12 hours long with lots of demo takes and stuff like that, it's very cool
Just started season 2 with my partner, first time for both of us. The camp is about to kill her lol.
Edit: Yup, already copped a few spoilers. I'll be back here for discussion once we finish the series (gimme a few months lol).
Season 2 is a challenge to get through after a certain crescendo for many reasons but the final two episodes make it worth it all.
Why wouldn't you make it? It's absolutely necessary. It's one of my all.time favorite movies
I dislike that it was billed as a prequel but absolutely spoils the show's mystery if you watch it first (which many unfortunately do)
A prequel by nature assumes you've seen the rest. It's like a sequel but it takes place earlier. That's not a fault of the film. It's your fault for not watching the show first
I did watch the show first, thanks for blaming me. There are many such cases of people watching a much touted film over a lesser known tv show back in the 90s.
Twin peaks is great. The twin peaks The Return is also great. Fire walk with me is just ok.
Fire walk with me us my favorite twin peaks thing and I had no idea what order you watched anything in but your post showed you didn't k kw what s prequel was.
