Episode 8 sent me back to my Brackhage and Hollis Frampton blu-rays that had been gathering a fine coat of dust. Shame

Flying through the atom bomb blast scene was very 2001 A Space Odyssey. I read someone saying the scenes where it goes back to the Giant/White Lodge (?) are like the HTML code of the universe. I liked that. Great episode, I've never seen any Brakhage but I did feel this was an avant-garde, experimental movie on tv

The scene where the soot men were removing the BOB blob specifically reminded me of Begotten. It's a fun little movie.

it actually takes some boldness to soundtrack that footage with that penderecki piece doesn't it, on paper it sounds so obv and corny-- besides the already noted on-the-noseness of penderecki's titular dedication, his stuff of the 1960s is second only to 1910s Stravinsky in terms of the ridiculous influence it has had on horror film scoring, it's almost like scoring a fantasy epic battle scene with Carmina Burana 'O Fortuna' in 2017 and making it not only work but fucking KILL...

Yeah the threnody kind of answers my question from last week re what would be next after take 5/green onions/sleep walk! Lynch def doing interesting things with super familiar pieces of music
Xp nice, will check it out
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 15:42 (seven years ago) link
also hard for someone like Lynch to program that piece because Kubrick used Penderecki in some of his movies, and the scene itself was very Kubrick.
― Dominique, Tuesday, 27 June 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
it's almost on the nose enough to be considered some kind of arthouse in-joke
At this rate, I expect that BOB's expulsion from earth will be undertaken to the tune of 'Ghostbusters'.

I'm hoping Simon's will be the TP podcast to pronounce Penderecki correctly

Begotten! Thank you! It was on the tip of my brain when watching this episode, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
― Dan I., Tuesday, 27 June 2017 16:02 (seven years ago) link
Penderecki is hardly super-familiar tho is he? I knew I'd heard that piece of music before but I couldn't place exactly what it was
― Well bissogled trotters (Michael B), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 16:03 (seven years ago) link
Not on the level of those pop tunes but far from novel in this sort of context
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 16:05 (seven years ago) link
Some scenes feel like Lynch is a little influenced by people that were influenced by him! Like, the purple palace (or whatever)--and especially the lady that lives there and kisses the Laura orb--is very Guy Maddin.
― Dan I., Tuesday, 27 June 2017 16:06 (seven years ago) link
iirc Penderecki is one of the few major modern composers who gets used in film but has not done any work specifically for scoring film

Agreed, the way scenes rub against one another and the pace and use of music reminds me a lot of Cremaster.

Ep 8 even better after a third viewing. The final radio station sequence in particular now feels like a unsettled part of my own subconscious, like it was one of my own dreams or a frightening bit of film I saw as a kid and that stuck with me.
In addition to Penderecki and the Platters I thought the ambient score in this was amazing, genuinely frightening during the soot men's ritual with Mr. C and brought out a few tears during the lady-kisses-the-Laura-orb sequence. Overall this was easily the most emotional ep for me so far.

And like jed_ above I take back any previous niggling complaints. This is such a gift.

We're the scenes in the theater with the giant the longest stretch of the show so far featuring Badalamenti music?
― Moodles, Tuesday, 27 June 2017 16:57 (seven years ago) link
Yeah as good as the licensed music is the badalamenti stuff in this is incredible - I was also close to tears during that sequence and looking online this isn't an uncommon reaction
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 16:57 (seven years ago) link
According to Wikipedia there was a David Lynch in the Platters 1954-70.

Ooooooookay, I've had this nagging memory of something that I couldn't quite put my finger on since watching this the other night and I just figured out what it was. I believe the screenplay for Ronnie Rocket might be worth a re-read, y'all.

I really wanted to hear what those deeeep struck-tube/like synth notes during the woodsmen's ritual on cooper might sound like on big good speakers, that part of the score was incredible
Was that lynch or Angelo?

read on the internet that the music during the woodsmen ritual was moonlight sonata slowed down 300%

Lynch is like Ben Burtt's doppelganger, and I love it.

i forgot to talk about this because it got overshadowed by everything else but: i love the bullshit macguffin technology that evil coop has access to. the phone call that set off all the jail alarms, the app that only has three buttons but somehow tells him there are three trackers on the car and lets him transfer(?!?) their signal to a truck (!?!). love that there's no attempt to make this realistic at all.
― na (NA), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 19:06 (seven years ago) link
the tracker transfer thing was amazingly cheesy
I didn't catch it for sure, was the number he entered on that app the truck's license plate number? And then he just threw the phone out the window!
― mh, Tuesday, 27 June 2017 19:07 (seven years ago) link
It was the license number, yeah. NA otm, I love the magic tech, it's like "what if windom earle was actually awesome"
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 19:10 (seven years ago) link
I honestly can't remember a lot of the second season's middle and I have the suspicion it was that ol' Windom Earle getting up to shenanigans that Ive forgotten
― mh, Tuesday, 27 June 2017 19:14 (seven years ago) link
Another example is the voice recorder that recorded ray & daria's phone conversation - there's no attempt to make it realistic in the same way that there's no attempt to make the mystery man's ability to be at both ends of the phone realistic
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 27 June 2017 19:16 (seven years ago) link
I rewatched the entire original series just before the revival started and I can't remember a lot of the second season's middle.
