Was struck by how much they are literally clowns. Andy's paunch is part of the costume, but if you slapped the make up on them you wouldn't have to change their behavior one bit. xpost

why would Showtime's competition be concerned anyway? GoT is a juggernaut, i doubt HBO's much concerned about what else happens to be airing at the time.
xpsss

I did not realize GoT was going to be airing at the same time as TP. That seems unnecessarily prickish of HBO.
pretty sure they're airing it at the same time as the last 6 seasons.
my plan is to watch GoT and then TP, in that order, on sunday nights. it's really hard to do the other way around.

the previous week's tp, by the look of it

also looks like they're changing the time - starting in august it'll be on an hour earlier. 8pm there, 1am here

TP is the first show in ages that I've made the effort to watch as its airing.

Andy and Lucy are really reminiscent of something about the French clowning tradition. On the Air had a lot of the same feel to it, too. Can't put my finger on it--the way they're "funny" instead of actually being funny.

This is a great observation. I was trying to think of what was so weird and creepy about goaz's performance here, I think you nailed it. I normally love the a&l scenes in the return but where I think it loses something in this mode is when they go for tenderness. the way he like air-nuzzles her gives me the willies
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Thursday, 13 July 2017 19:35 (seven years ago) link
I kind of assume my watching doesn't count as "live" even though I usually sit down within 20 minutes of airtime and watch it on demand. I think I've watched the live broadcast once.

Starting to think this show is going to end with Cooper deciding whether he wants to return to his old life or keep Dougie's

I'm wondering if at some point we're gonna get Booper and Dougie in the same scene together tbh

Mr. C and empty Cooper would be interesting, I kind of want Cooper to attack the doppelganger and squeeze his... head off?

if you guys can't accept me calling him Dougie I could also go with Gooper

cool interview with Lillard re his scene in EP 9 http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/07/twin-peaks-matthew-lillard-interview
― Paisley Window Pane (Ross), Thursday, 13 July 2017 21:06 (seven years ago) link
so the shooting scripts are definitely not episode-specific, not that they would be
I kind of wonder if a lot of the different pieces and how they fit together were pieced together in editing. I get the impression Lynch does that, just has different story elements, shoots them all, and then puts them together into his films.

Ha ha, wow, so that particular scene was Chrysta Bell's first ever acting experience. That David, I tell ya...

The Lillard interview linked above. His hysterical weeping scene this week was Bell's first scene in anything ever, apparently.

Get the feeling after Inland (one of his most improvised works) that there's no way Lynch would go back to linear shooting
― Paisley Window Pane (Ross), Thursday, 13 July 2017 22:24 (seven years ago) link
It was his first scene of the day—and the first scene in which Chrysta Bell, who plays F.B.I. Agent Tammy Preston, had performed, outside of short films and TV movies. “She’d never been on set before,” Lillard said. “So you have an actress that’s like, ‘Hi, this is my first day of acting. . . This is my first scene that I’ve ever done.’”
Astonishing that it was Bell's first day on set, because watching the series - for me as a viewer - it really felt like they deliberately handed the interrogation to her, seeing she's been doing well, growing, earned Gordon's trust etc. I had these thoughts watching it, and convinced myself she upped her game, became a bigger factor in the show handling it as well as she did. Knowing now this was her first day, only affirms how good her acting has been. Because the second or third or fourth or whatever day came after that first shoot she had to act in "past tense", less knowledgeable or sure. That's good stuff.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 13 July 2017 22:27 (seven years ago) link
I love Bell's body language. Her walking itself has so much character

tbf very few movies and shows are shot linearly, but the breakdown of what is going to appear in which episode (or where in the film a scene appears) can vary quite a bit depending on the directing/editing style. I don't think a lot of directors adhere completely to the original script, especially after viewing finished footage
― mh, Thursday, 13 July 2017 22:57 (seven years ago) link

yeah wtf this is not at all unusual
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 13 July 2017 22:58 (seven years ago) link
the scheduling of shoots is dictated by a whole host of factors, none of which have anything to do with the narrative - location, availability of personnel, complexity of the shot, tech/crew/gear involved etc.
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 13 July 2017 22:59 (seven years ago) link
ah i love being corrected on ILX
― Paisley Window Pane (Ross), Thursday, 13 July 2017 23:03 (seven years ago) link
I think where Lynch may differ from some other directors is that he clearly didn't give cast members entire, complete scripts. With films that's pretty normal, and with TV often there's complete episode scripts because episodes may be shot discretely - but this isn't structured like a normal tv show. Lynch (and Frost) obviously had a bunch of scenes written and a general structure in mind, but then they shot it piecemeal as inspiration and necessity dictated, then took all the assembled footage and cut it together into the sequence we're seeing now.

Well yeah, of course I know this. Yeez guys. That wasn't my point. Point was that Bell acted really well making it seem she 'grabbed her chance' with the interrogation after what we've seen of her before, and us viewers now learning this was her first day on set.
