also, isn't it weird what a scary crone lara flynn boyle turned into? she was so cute in the pilot.

When Leland comes in singing "Little Lambs & Ivy" is like something out of my dreamlife. If you cross this with Johnny from Airplane! and add in Audrey Horne, well you can just right yourself a ticket to Hollywood.

What about Billy Zane and David Duchovny?

ally otm. the heather graham character was the fucking nadir of that show.

thankfully lynch just got her out of the way in the last episode (or made her comatose, at least)

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:36 (nineteen years ago) link

annie is lame, but at least she dies. and she's in FWWM, to stay on topic, covered in blood and talking!

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Both classic on TP, totally dud otherwise.

i mean c'mon the second season had more than its share of boners. we're all adults, right, we can admit that....

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Don't get me started on Chris Isaak again.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:36 (nineteen years ago) link

"boners"?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:37 (nineteen years ago) link

how fucking terrible is the episode Diane Keaton directed? THAT is the nadir of the show.

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:37 (nineteen years ago) link

bon·er

n. Informal

A blunder or an error.

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

The whole scene where Laura's mother is drugged and sees the horse and the record is skipping and the Leland looks in the mirror...UNbelievable.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

In a good way, I mean.

Sorry, I am still learning these funny American terms.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

The second season had so much ridiculousness going on. It was still one of the best shows on TV, of course. (Remember when Mike got hit on the head or whatever and started dating the Log Lady? And Ben Horne thought he was a Civil War general? I'm just remembering all this now.)

I said this on one of those other threads but the Donna's two younger sisters were my favorite characters on the show.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

How about that Dick Tremain?

― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

well all the best episodes were directed by lynch: maddy being killed, the first dream sequence, the pilot, the final episode...

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Billy Zane and David Duchovny's characters were just peculiar.

Dick Tremain!

And when Nadine thought she was a teenager?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I really need to stop reading this thread, considering I haven't seen TP Season 2 or FWWM yet.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i still have the 2nd season on EP-speed VHS!!! (and i have the ever-elusive pilot tapes from the Bravo network)

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

The final hour of the final episode... I vividly remember watching that, my mouth literally hanging open.

― morris pavilion (samjeff), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Dennis: Well, I still put my pantyhose on one leg at a time, Coop, if you know what I mean. *punches him on the arm*
Cooper: No, not really.

― Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Am., if you want to lend me season 2, that would be peachy.

― n/a (Nick A.), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

There were a LOT of loose threads, am I right?

james sent a postcard from SF?
That weird final scene with ben horne?
What happened to Ed and Nadine? Bobby and Shelley?

-- morris pavilion (yndlqls0...), August 31st, 2004.

yeah, that's a fucking amazing piece of cinema.

lynch didn't even bother keeping continuity with the previous episode.... there are lots of plot points left hanging, apparent contradictions, etc. this all leads up to my theory abt the movie btw.

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:41 (nineteen years ago) link

morris pavilion OTM (again)

Donna's youngest sister, Gersten Hayward (alicia witt), recently:

also that strobe effect + jimmy scott singing "i'll see you in the trees..." = OMGWTF

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:42 (nineteen years ago) link

btw that last episode has the world's most obvious PLAYTIME reference (see current PLAYTIME thread for more)

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:43 (nineteen years ago) link

someone said (i think on a previous thread) that FWWM was more of a "free jazz" take on the story whereas the series was more (creepy?) doo-wop.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:43 (nineteen years ago) link

lynch's free jazz movie is "lost highway"!!

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:43 (nineteen years ago) link

wow gersten came along way from being that little boogie woogie brat with braces.

this was quoted before LH IIRC.

You have three options:
1. US Box set - Episodes 1 - 7 remastered with DTS but no pilot, which is
more or less essential to appreciating the whole
experience (it's like a 2 hour movie). A few cool extras.
2. UK Box set - Pilot + Episodes 1 - 7 remastered, no DTS but otherwise same
extras at Region 1.
3. Spanish Box Set - Pilot, Epsidoes 1-7, Episodes 8-29 (Series 2), ok you
get the whole lot here (apart from the film Fire Walk With Me) *but* the
quality is pretty dire. The picture is grainy and sound is DD2.0, there's
also zero extras. There are also a few scenes where Spanish subtitles are
hardcoded on. However, it is the only way to watch the entire series and
costs about the same as the UK Series 1 box set RRP. Available from
dvdgo.com (Spanish site) for around £50 including postage.
Basically I would advise you get hold of the UK box set first, if you like
that then go ahead and order the Spanish set just so you can see Series Two
(you'll be dying to know what happens if you enjoy Series One). Also, make
sure you don't watch the film Fire Walk With Me until you've seen the whole
two series all the way through or you'll spoil everything!

Am I right in thinking that the kid with the pointy nose mask in FWWM is Lynch's...son?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

it does seem to me that the weird shit in the series comes across as much more refined and mysterious than it does in the movie, which is almost slapstick in it's weirdness. this is true for most of lynch's movies for me, with the exception of Mulholland Drive, which seems much more refined in the way the series was. Also created for television. What is it about that medium that restrains him?

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

similarly, the Hotel Room episode with Alicia Witt is totally unsettling .

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:47 (nineteen years ago) link

tv producers sniffing his shit at every second?

-- adam. (adamr...), August 31st, 2004.

yes

though he is not the same kid as the "grandson" of the old woman served by donna in the "meals on wheels" program

OMG NOW I KNOW WHERE ALL THOSE BRAIN CELLS I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND HAVE GONE

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:48 (nineteen years ago) link

he's supposed to be the same kid but they used a different actor, right?

did you see "on the air" kyle?

i have the mulholland drive TV pilot (poor quality) if you're interested in a burn.

― amateur!!st, Tuesday, 31 August 2004 20:49 (nineteen years ago) link

i did see on the air. i remember liking it but I was hardly a very discriminating critic at the time since I loved everything he did. I haven't seen it since. I like Squiggy though.
