Twin Peaks: Classic or Dud?

maybe it happens at a different point in that episode when lisa is originally injured, but I know it happens

Diane, 11:30 am, February 24th, entering town of Twin Peaks

COTTON
BALLS!!!!

did twin peaks invent the thing where an oblivious person does something on the dance floor and then others think it's a cool new dance move and mimic it?

this has to be in eight hundred teen movies of the 60s, i can't name a single one but it just stands to reason.

yeah, that's what I thought

for some reason the Munsters or Gilligan's Island come to mind

There was that Addam's Family where Lurch gets a surprise career as a teen pop singer by doing his usual grunting but that's not entirely relevant to this topic.

i think this is the only serial tv show that i've ever watched start to end
being only 30-ish episodes rather than the 60+ of most other Big Name shows helps i guess

I remember Fred Flintstone dropping a bowling ball on his foot and starting a dance craze.

yes!

Funny enough I was thinking about this scene today. A grieving Leland is at a party at the great northern, and is emphatically crying on the dancefloor - Catherine Martell imitates him to draw attention away from him, or his crying (as if it were a dance move)

the dance mimicking thing happened on Airplane didn't it?

Also, thanks for the guitar heads up. Jeesus christ.

juuusst youuuuuuuuuuu

i'm sure other shows have done the mimicking thing but it's so cruel and hilarious in twin peaks - a memorable scene.

There's a bit where some guy is driving in a zig zag motion along the road. Does this also happen in Hot Fuzz or am I imagining that?

and, Hi I'm James Booth, lol.

yeah can't say I'm surprised, hope this gets worked out. maybe Lynch is going public to get some leverage

Seems insane to me that Showtime made a public announcement well before Lynch was even due to sign a contract.

Lynch initially announced both his and later Kyle MacLachlan's participation, and his comments are vague enough that this might all be blown out of proportion.

Supposedly axed.

nooooooo

i just typed the same thing, only it was

Noooooooo

i had a feeling this was going to be really bad if they actually made it so i am okay w/ this

no Lynch, no point.

if lynch is out and this still happens that is the worst possible outcome

I have to imagine some of those actors will bail.

if lynch is out and this still happens that is the worst possible outcome

absolutely. ugh. i firmly believed that this was going to be amazing so now it's odd to be thinking "PULL THE PLUG FOR FUCKS SAKE"

yep, they say it's going ahead:

what a sad state of affairs

Yuck imo a Lynch-less revival is worse than no revival at all.

showtime maybe shoulda thought about getting all their ducks in a row before announcing this

even if lynch just "steps back" into a "showrunner" role or something i am firmly opposed; the only thing that made me not a 100% spoilsport about this whole idea was the prospect of ~10 hours of straight lynch -- oh xps lol how terrible

on the bright side we can expect to discover the truth about so many things

The "Missing Pieces" edit of all the missing FWWM footage was incredible does anyone know if Lynch himself edited it together? I sort of got that feeling from it. One thing I really liked was the use of extended takes from single camera sources, it had a more documentary style feel to it that was more in line w his modern work.

lol yeah

I had like 0.01% doubt that this would be great tbh, post-inland empire lynch does fwwm pts 2-10

xp yeah lynch edited it himself

I know I'm overreacting a bit, but can't help but feel like this is a goddamned tragedy

I'm with you, and I don't ever care about stuff getting cancelled or otherwise ruined by television networks

Here it sucks extra because we already have a good half-season of Twin Peaks sans Lynch and it's not that great.

:(

xp yeah I'm an apologist for those parts of s2 and even I think that doing that again will be a travesty, I can enjoy those episodes but the finale and the film are so brilliant and among other thing a rebuke of that part of the series

would feel terrible about helping fucking showtime out, but Austin needs to maybe introduce his dad to kickstarter.

This will be worthless w out lynch, v bummed

Showtime can't think that many people will watch if Lynch isn't involved.

maybe the cast will heroically make a group decision not to continue

half of them wouldn't be anyone without lynch anyway

what does lynch's statement mean? they couldn't get enough money to pay good script writers?

they won't put The-Dream and Tricky up at The Plaza 2 nights to cut 'Baby'?
