The stars turn: the TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread

Ligeti split

^^^ i use that too

Some scenes feel like Lynch is a little influenced by people that were influenced by him!

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

agree on the maddinesque purple zone

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?

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

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%

still love that the giant's footsteps have the audio backward

Beautifully put.

seeing NIN on TP made "the perfect drug" get stuck in my head this morning

!!! Can someone do something with software & confirm this?

i can't access soundcloud at work, but apparently this guy did it

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.

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!

It was the license number, yeah. NA otm, I love the magic tech, it's like "what if windom earle was actually awesome"

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

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

I rewatched the entire original series just before the revival started and I can't remember a lot of the second season's middle.

xpost it's like the wonderful wonderful technology Jack Kirby would draw in a comics panel because he couldn't be bothered to go get photo reference for a transistor radio or guitar amp or whatever, he'd just envision it his way

YES

Thematically Mr. C's impossible devices make sense in light of the Black Lodge's connection to technology (spirits traveling through electricity or manipulating fire, the Trinity atomic tests releasing the Experiment Model), but you're right, they're also just delightful as a matter of narrative economy.

imo the best thing about them is I think "hmm, that's odd" but don't give it a second thought because it's irrelevant to the plot

something i forgot completely that turned out to be really awesome was all the major briggs abduction stuff

I love the 90s Kid Pix / HyperCard stack look of Mr. C's software, too. Something totemic about certain stylizations and variations in the font

had a devilish urge to shop david lynch's face onto the boy out strolling with the young girl and post it to fire walk with memes with the legend "when you're not going with Mary anymore" :-/

it's a fair cop

Fire!

Simply astonishing.

Completely with Old Lunch on this one, having just seen it: “I have virtually no idea what I just watched but that was without a doubt one of the most astounding hours of film I've ever seen.”

I am going to audio-rip the hell out of this episode (well, the part after "The NIN" I mean). I’d buy the ambient soundtrack to this episode, from the Space Odyssey-esque scenes \up until the very nightmarish end. Can’t say the “sound design” isn’t getting its due praise, but really, it deserves even more. In 2007 my album of the year was Lynch’s ‘The Air Is On Fire’, a chilling dark ambient record. This reminded me of that so, so much. Trust me, you need that album in your life.

Catching up, some things I haven’t seen mentioned yet:
- At the gas station/convenience store stuff, I noticed the final note of the sounds underneath that was the first note of TP's Badalamenti theme song.
- LOTS of backwards stuff. The Caretaker-esque music playing in the b/w room/station atop of the rock; the waves crashing at that rock were played in reverse as well. Motion of the man and woman in there, when he pressed the button to turn "it" off, seemed reverse to me too, though I could well be mistaken.

The scene w/the Woodsman and the terrified couple in the car was very "Carnival of Souls."

Verily! I thought of the same thing when I saw it. Ties in nicely with the music/Caretaker stuff, too.

the band at the end of episode 3 seems yrev very different from the rest of the bands featured so far

the only tv show I’ve heard actually use music from one of the The Caretaker albums was 12 Monkeys on syfy. actually exclaimed “what!” at my television

ha that'd be my exact response as well probably.

interesting to note how hilarious mr c's technology is v the fbi's very normal interfaces. perhaps mr c made everything himself.

most surprising music cues I can recall: grindcore masters Grdilink in S1 of Homeland and Subrosa on Limitless. metal nerds be working.

and uhhhh that Decemberists cue on mad Men lol

scott walker's "the seventh seal" popped up on THE BLACKLIST, which consistently has top notch music cues.

oh also when "Hammond song" appeared on You're the Worst. that ruled.

we should probably just have a "great moments in music supervision" thread

was it Caretaker? or just something that sounded like Caretaker?

"oh also when "Hammond song" appeared on You're the Worst. that ruled." the Roches song?

yup!

I would also be happy to hear The Colourfield's version of that song crop up on a soundtrack
