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 endbeing 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.

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)
― ed.b, Tuesday, 24 February 2015 21:18 (nine years ago) link
the dance mimicking thing happened on Airplane didn't it?
Also, thanks for the guitar heads up. Jeesus christ.

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
― Οὖτις, Monday, 16 March 2015 23:32 (nine years ago) link
Seems insane to me that Showtime made a public announcement well before Lynch was even due to sign a contract.
― fuck me, archipelago (Simon H.), Monday, 16 March 2015 23:38 (nine years ago) link
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.

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

I have to imagine some of those actors will bail.

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.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:05 (nine years ago) link
showtime maybe shoulda thought about getting all their ducks in a row before announcing this
― Clay, Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:05 (nine years ago) link
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
― difficult listening hour, Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:05 (nine years ago) link
on the bright side we can expect to discover the truth about so many things
― difficult listening hour, Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:09 (nine years ago) link
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.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:10 (nine years ago) link
lol yeah
I had like 0.01% doubt that this would be great tbh, post-inland empire lynch does fwwm pts 2-10
― Finn McCoolit (wins), Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:12 (nine years ago) link
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
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:14 (nine years ago) link
I'm with you, and I don't ever care about stuff getting cancelled or otherwise ruined by television networks
― Finn McCoolit (wins), Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:16 (nine years ago) link
Here it sucks extra because we already have a good half-season of Twin Peaks sans Lynch and it's not that great.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:22 (nine years ago) link
:(
― drash, Sunday, 5 April 2015 23:27 (nine years ago) link
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.

Showtime can't think that many people will watch if Lynch isn't involved.
― Eric H., Monday, 6 April 2015 00:42 (nine years ago) link
maybe the cast will heroically make a group decision not to continue
half of them wouldn't be anyone without lynch anyway
― Karl Malone, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:44 (nine years ago) link
what does lynch's statement mean? they couldn't get enough money to pay good script writers?
― And let’s say a new Hozier comes along, and Spotify outbids you (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 6 April 2015 00:50 (nine years ago) link
they won't put The-Dream and Tricky up at The Plaza 2 nights to cut 'Baby'?

Welp, that's just fucking dumb. Way to shit the bed, Showtime.
― Gimme Gimme Pop Secret (Old Lunch), Monday, 6 April 2015 00:57 (nine years ago) link
I think the statement means the script implies something expensive to film, like it has lots of effects or whatever.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 6 April 2015 00:59 (nine years ago) link

considering how cheaply he supposedly shot inland empire i'd be interested in knowing how far apart showtime and lynch were on episode budget. like what's it worth to showtime to keep david lynch from doing twin peaks?
― Clay, Monday, 6 April 2015 01:05 (nine years ago) link
“We were saddened to read David Lynch’s statement today since we believed we were working towards solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points. SHOWTIME also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm.”
