"TM has made me a less nervous person!" *chainsmokes and pounds coffee*

people who actually stick with meditation, make the commitment to practice daily and do so for years, tend to be pretty intense ime. anger and other personality disorders end up being mitigated more than eliminated.

is there any video footage of him pre-TM? he started meditating in 1973, so in the middle of filming eraserhead. the earliest film clip i've seen of him was around the same time, with jack nance, getting interviewed by some local college dude, i think. DL seemed pretty chilled out! but anyway, my hypothesis is that maybe he was an incredibly high strung and angry person before TM, and the version we're seeing now is actually the calmed down version.

oh. well it was a 6 second clip of the Chicken Sandwich, Carl! thing from The State. trust me, it was really funny

It's probably mentioned somewhere on this thread, but I highly recommend the documentary "David Wants to Fly" which is about Lynch's involvement in TM. It will make you feel very weird about Lynch. He's not the quirky good-hearted genius he seems like.

It was on this thread or another Lynch thread but I still haven't seen more than clips.

It is strange that it seems to have vanished. Used to be on Netflix DVD. It wasn't a crackpot doc either; it was pretty convincing.

Y'all have to watch this. Gonna make you feel a little weirder about our good friend Dave Lynch.
― The Thnig, Thursday, 13 April 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link
I watched it after you called it out before. It made me feel weird about DL but not transformatively so. Much more just grossed out by the whole Maharishi apparatus. I am someone who TM the meditation technique has helped greatly at various times in my life but I've always wanted to stay far away from the rest of their 'business' and this docu definitely reinforced that my instinct was a good one

i rewatched the first 3 episodes of '90 this weekend, and i'd obv forgotten tons of it in 27 years, such as the level of comedy, and how the scenes with the juveniles are full of purposefully terrible dialogue.
The initial Red Room scene at the end of ep 3: one can hear the sound of millions clicking off forever.

i went through this to see what i was saying in the past about season 3. i said i hope they wouldn't do it! i thought it would suck but i was thinking "more of season 2" not "more of the finale".
i am extremely glad i was wrong.

I caught up in my original-series rewatch to the BOB-Leland reveal episode last night. Maddy murder sequence so bloody horrifying; I'd forgotten it's cross-cut with Roadhouse/Julee Cruise/giant/Hank Worden's "I'm sorry."

and in the sound design/editing
also, the Cooper-Truman law-officer-conservatism interp of the series doesn't work here. They are either helpless or inadequate before Evil.

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 September 2017 16:32 (six years ago) link
i rewatched the first 2 episodes of the original series. in episode 2 Nadine bends the bars on her thigh master. same episode has Audrey's dream dance, Bob, the glowing sound in the Great Northern furnace, etc.. same episode has Cooper's red room dream and Laura's whispering. Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer really sets up season 3.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 28 September 2017 16:52 (six years ago) link
"the glowing sound in the Great Northern furnace," really this was in the old series? I forgot about this
― akm, Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
i think its where Bob has his circle of candles tho i may be confusing it with the ensuing dream sequence. i know for sure it happens when the arms has his back turned and is rubbing his hands together
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:10 (six years ago) link
bob isn't in the great northern

also i just remembered during the rock throwing sequence they are looking for the killer with the letter J. Judy setup.

It's not the same tone from season 3.

the most surreal moment in ep 14 (BOB reveal) might be all the Navy personnel bouncing rubber balls in the Great Northern. wtf.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 28 September 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
The ringing sound is heard in the basement of the hospital (the context is a little clearer in the European pilot ending which Lynch re-edited into Cooper's dream in "Zen, or the Art to Catch a Killer"), around 5:36 in the video below (spoilers, obviously):

It sounds slightly different than the Great Northern drone in The Return, though:

I had no memory of Jane frickin' Greer showing up as Norma's mother.
I've made it through Leland's death in the first series. Before Christmas it'll be the rest of it, the Criterion FWWM, and then I'll be ready for The Return.

the final episode of season 2 is my favorite thing Lynch has ever done. Cooper's entrance into the Black Lodge as Jimmy Scott sings "Sycamore Trees" gives me chills.

as far as celebrity cameos go, I love Van Dyke Parks as the lawyer (somewhere in the middle of s2)
Yeah that's such a weird little thing (but it was almost outdone: William Burroughs was meant to have played Dougie Milford)

Morbs, you are at the part where it starts to become a really tough slog. I recommend skipping ahead if these episodes become too tedious and ridiculous.
