serious question: why do ppl need to "understand" TP? It's not Agatha Christie.

because if you watch it as a horror mystery comedy with soap elements, it's about a third as interesting

Nothing about the revival makes any sense until you've watched all of the Georgia Coffee commercials at least a few times.

Anyone seen the CC?
This 207-minute (!) podcast may be of interest:

I have the new Criterion edition and haven't had the chance to watch it yet. Saw FWWM in a theater in July before I had started The Return, so I'm stoked to watch it again.

and like I said in the Lynch poll redux, Inland Empire is seriously due for a sweet Criterion reissue. the DVD is out of print in the USA and the only available copies of it are $30+ Japanese blu-rays.

One scene sticks in my mind from when i (re)watched it a few months ago. Bobby is pissed at Laura but she just smiles at him until he crumbles, and sort of dance-walks backwards away from her with a goofy grin on his face. Left at that it would be a great scene, showing Laura's irresistible winning charm. What is strange though is that after Bobby starts dancing, almost everyone else in the scene seems to start dancing too, as though accidental victims of her powerful juju. It's subtle, mostly, I had to rewind a few times to be sure.

glad I bought it when I did I guess
yeah this is the one i bought recently. it's only $21 now. i haven't watched it yet in full but i did put it in my player to make sure it worked/didn't look like shit, & i know it was shot on miniDV & i haven't seen the movie since it came out, but it did look kinda ehhh, just based on looking at the opening title sequence. looks like a youtube rip
― flappy bird, Thursday, 26 October 2017 17:56 (six years ago) link
Just that opening sweep across the title - INLAND EMPIRE - shit was pixelated & grainy as fuck
― flappy bird, Thursday, 26 October 2017 18:01 (six years ago) link
Great movie, but it looks like it cost less than that to shoot.

So from that clip of Sheryl Lee it seems Lynch brings techniques from meditation to the way he directs actors.

I only had to time to watch "The Missing Pieces" before the CC went back to the library; I had forgotten how goddamn beautiful Chris Isaak was.

wait you didn’t rewatch the actual movie

the Bowie scenes in TMP didn't really convince me i know WTF is going on there.

also i had food poisoning last night and that's kinda the last film i wanna watch in that state.
Bobby discovering his coke was laxative, lol

Bowie and the convenience store scenes are key to season 3.

the scenes are referenced (and iirc actually replayed) - you'll get it, don't worry

for lack of anything better to do last night my wife and I started in on the original series again (w the intention of watching everything up through the Return) and I had two thoughts about the pilot:1) Dana Ashbrook (w Grace Zabriskie a close second) totally nails the generally disconcerting/unpredictable vibe of the show right out the gate. he is great in every scene, always throwing in some weird nuance/mannerism/delivery that elevates the material2) I lol'd when Cooper closes a scene at the PD with "Diane I am holding in my hand a box of chocolate bunnies"
― Οὖτις, Friday, 1 December 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
The callback to the bunnies in The Return was so brilliant. Like, the way the show pauses to make you consider, does this mean something? Then quickly dismisses the idea.
― Evan R, Friday, 1 December 2017 21:39 (six years ago) link
Cooper is also strangely supercilious in some of his first scenes. He positively revels in grilling Bobby and Donna, he openly mocks them for no real reason, it comes off as almost cruel. These qualities seem to evaporate from his character as the show goes on. Or, at least, when they do pop up he more skillfully deploys them against people that deserve it.
― Οὖτις, Friday, 1 December 2017 21:44 (six years ago) link
It's a bit out of character, but maybe he sensed there was something there beyond Laura's death. After all, Bobby had just recently murdered his drug connect.

i forgot bobby killed a guy. that's a lot of stuff between that and s03 bobby.

Wasn't the guy Bobby killed pulling a gun on him? I'd call that more self-defense by Bobby than murder
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Saturday, 2 December 2017 14:39 (six years ago) link
i love that whole scene, where bobby is just so fucked up over having shot a guy, and laura can't stop laughing

really enriches bobby's scene with jacoby in the first season

do those of you who’ve seen the missing pieces watch it for pleasure or is it mostly valuable for context? Do you rewatch it? still dithering on getting the CC of FWWM, which I already have on dvd and rarely watch
― sciatica, Saturday, 2 December 2017 19:01 (six years ago) link
i don't really ever watch it on its own, just after fwwm, but in that case yes i've watched it for pleasure several times
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 2 December 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link
two by four!
I love it and have rewatched it but I've also watched fwwm more times than is perhaps healthy so I should maybe recuse myself
― sonnet by a wite kid, "On Æolian Grief" (wins), Saturday, 2 December 2017 19:05 (six years ago) link
But cmon you need that fight scene in your life
I’m going to assume you’re talking about a fight with two by fours and that Pete’s “two by fours, four by eights. Two by fours, four by eights” in the pilot is him inventorying his arsenal
― sciatica, Saturday, 2 December 2017 19:15 (six years ago) link
The stairs/fan scene should have been in the film.
