since i was around in 1992 and was an O.G. twin peaks fan it might be helpful to note that TP:FWWM pointedly did not give the show's hardcore fans (however many were left at that point) what they wanted. in fact, i recall people being at best disappointed and at most downright upset that the film chose to cover a period /before/ the timeline of the TV show rather than pick up where the final episode left off. rather than "resolve" the various narrative strands left dangling at the end of the series, the film only makes glancing reference to some of them.
one thing i've never been sure of (and lynch in interviews has been a bit contradictory about this) is whether the incest/abuse theme was present from the beginning of the show's conception or whether it was "discovered" in the course of making the series. so i'm not sure if the film can be said to represent lynch's attempt to return to (and make more explicit) his original conception of the show's themes, or if it is more of an attempt to inscribe (?) those themes into the twin peaks mythos by re-visiting events that we thought we knew well. (not that the show ever depicted the last days of laura palmer per se, but much of the show involves the gradual revealing of what happened during those days.)

one thing i find interesting about the film is its totally non-classical structure-- how it follows the two FBI agents for about 40 minutes, has that weird interlude w/ bowie etc., then effectively starts over again as a new narrative. this looks forward to some of the narrative games in lynch's subsequent films, i think.
also, the first episode -- the one with the two FBI agents-- is a pseudo-remake of much of the pilot, the doppelganger of agent cooper's arrival in twin peaks, his encounters with the local police, etc. the various encounters there mirror scenes from the pilot, in a mordant, bitter mode.
i can't help but be impressed by the perversity of all of this. it's a very, very strange way to go about making a feature-length "sequel" to a beloved TV series.

and yeah it's far, far from perfect. but while in 1992 TP:FWWM was greeted as Lynch's nadir, evidence that he needed a rest, in retrospect I think it's the beginning of his bouncing back from the dead-end mannerism of Wild at Heart (even if some of the pervasive adolescent humor of the latter remains in FWWM and Lost Highway.)

Very nice, nonetheless.
I don't know why it's only just occurred to me that the revival's presence on Showtime allows for much stronger content than we got on the original show. Although it seems like he wouldn't even be able to get away with Maddie's murder on the network TV of today.

you can get away with /much/ worse on contemporary network TV than you could in 1991!
― wizzz! (amateurist), Wednesday, 25 May 2016 15:36 (eight years ago) link
I know you can in terms of content (gore or sex or whatevs) but I have a hard time imagining something that legit terrifying on, say, ABC today.
― Wet Food (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 25 May 2016 15:41 (eight years ago) link
I've never seen anything on network TV surpass Maddie's murder in terms of pure horror
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 25 May 2016 15:43 (eight years ago) link
well it's terrifying b/c lynch is just so good at terrifying. but i've seen stuff that /strives/ to be just as graphic and visceral on network TV.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Wednesday, 25 May 2016 15:44 (eight years ago) link
yeah a lot of it has to do with context and the framing and the way it's shot, obviously it's not particularly gory or sexy

Lynch's horror isn't based on gore or standard violence, his most effectively terrifying moments have little to no gore. Think the man behind the cafe. Or Bob peering over the edge of the bed. Or evil Laura screaming/shrieking in that final episode.

Bob wears a denim jacket
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 July 2016 17:48 (seven years ago) link
The second scene with Audrey at the Great Northern, from the same episode:
https://67.media.tumblr.com/9d4ee3b5bf7ff5907d3feecaff133e83/tumblr_oazi5gFWdE1qbypg1o2_540.png
Looks less like BOB there.
But anyway, in both of her scenes from the episode, someone lurks out of focus in the background and whom nobody interacts with, so denim jacket or no...
And this is the same episode where MIKE says that BOB is currently at the Great Northern!
― Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 17:53 (seven years ago) link
looks like a girl to me - also that scene's not at the Great Northern iirc? and MIKE is referring to Leland meeting with Ben Horne.
― Οὖτις, Wednesday, 27 July 2016 17:54 (seven years ago) link
I thought Dale brought Audrey back to the GN after the One-Eyed Jacks rescue? I mean, in the scene with Ben, they're talking about taking her home, so she isn't recovering at home.
― Pleeesiosaur (Leee), Wednesday, 27 July 2016 17:57 (seven years ago) link
Yep, that looks like it is in the Bookhouse and the guy in the background is one of the Bookhouse Boys.
