Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

Agree that the violence felt more pointed and purposeful in this than previous hours*, also that it was way more consistent than this show normally likes to be outside of part 8. I'm not surprised people are split on it given the content but I am surprised at the number of people who are just ambivalent about it or think it's filler. I think the previous ep was way more of a "moving the pieces into place" episode than this one (although I think the expository nature of both is being way overstated)

*btw it makes sense to refer to one of these as "an hour of television" for simplicity's sake and I think so far 1 part actually does clock in at 60 minutes but if the average running time is 55 minutes then we need to stop calling it an "18-hour film", it's an 18-part film that'll end up being about 16.5 hours long

and if they remove all the indiepop it'll be 11.5 hours long

That would be a terrible thing to do, this has exactly the right amount of music in it. Speaking of which, does the vegas setting have the most old-school twin peaks music cues, more than the town itself? The jazzy drums have been used there since the very first establishing shot, we had deer meadow shuffle last week, this week the Mitchum bros had that ominous cue I associate with ben horne

two miriams is probably just a goof but it would be classic chad if he picked out the wrong letter

My wife says that he's perfectly cast in this, but it's hard to imagine him cast him in anything else, and also described him as handsome but alien. OTM on both counts

Your wife otm. He reminds me of (a young) Christopher Walken, handsome but alien.

Is he Irish?

SHerilyn Fenn did a great amount of promo work for someone that wouldn't be in it for three months.

otm, and that whole cover is a massive red herring

a reminder that we've still only had that one shot of James lol

since his motorcycle accent he doesn't act talk any more

the fact that Bobby's gotten a bunch to do in comparison is extremely vindicating

Lynch and Frost are fucking with us and James is going to be in a band playing at the roadhouse

James Marshall will play all roles for the remaining episodes.

I think someone might have mentioned here before how kind of unflattering those EW photos were.

I'm imagining an interviewer asking a smiling Lynch when we can expect to see Audrey, and Lynch's smile kinda falters for a moment and his eyes kinda drift to the middle distance as he thinks, oh shit oh shit oh shit, did I cut all of Sherilynn's scenes?, surely I remembered to leave at least one in, oh shit oh shit, what have I done...

"I think someone might have mentioned here before how kind of unflattering those EW photos were."

they're just realistic. I quite like the fact the both Sheryl Lee and Sherilyn Fenn have not had shitloads of plastic surgery. Madchen Amick obv looks amazing and hot but she's also had a fair amount of work done. Of note sadly is that she's also the only one who has had a steadily rising career since TP.

she's also a bit younger than Lee and Fenn tbf

Peggy Lipton is however a freak of nature

It's not the best photo but everyone looks great in it?

these damn actors and their good looks!!

how the hell Harry Dean Stanton has seemed to have aged insanely gradually and is over 90 years old is a mystery, though

I was kinda amazed at how good his voice sounded in the last ep (maybe my favorite moment of the whole ep). It is just insane that a 94 yo man can still do that with his voice, Ralph Stanley is the only point of comparison I can think of

The secret is cigarettes

(He's only 91 tho)

I am going to pedantically say he is 91, but once you get to that age, I am not sure the difference matters

lol yes

my grandfather died early this year at 92 and it's amazing the difference

grandpa should have kept smoking

You guys, Herman Cain has been posting TP screenshots and stuff all over his Twitter and web site.

yes he is insane

Get ready for Herman Cain/Michael J. Anderson 2020.

that's gotta be an intern's doing

the fucks are at it again

Too lazy to search for the fwwm thread but it's getting a criterion release. I won't be buying it as I don't need a third copy of that film, but I'm glad to see it because it's final proof that its critical turnaround is complete and also because it means that more people will be able to see the missing pieces and between two worlds without having to buy a whole twin peaks bluray set

Also, that blu-ray set apparently just went out of print; all the more reason for them to release it.

yeah personally i'm thrilled, i never pulled the trigger on the box

I own the Hong Kong bootleg of the pilot, the original 1st season DVD without the pilot (but with commentaries and beautiful menu screens), the 2nd season DVD, the 30 ep gold set, and the original FWWM DVD without the Missing Pieces, so yes, this is great news.

Never felt I needed to own a network series from 1990 on blu ray, as beautiful as it looks compared to most other series of the time. Maybe that's a wrong assumption.

And I still have the terrible looking VHS set too.

I can confirm that it looks gorgeous on bluray. Not really comparable to how other series from that era would probably look in HD, imo.

yeah the HD transfer is good. I stole it from the internet but it looks great.

I realized this morning in the shower what I'm sure has already been mentioned throughout parts of the internet that I don't frequent: Cole's drawing almost certainly references Buckhorn.

anyone have a gif of Cole's drawing?

Someone animated it

What shall we call Cole's deer doodle?

Interesting, although I didn't think of that castle as the White Lodge. Seems like it would just as shitty to be there as the Black Lodge.

Uh-oh. Anyone else notice that Richard Horne is driving a beat up...Saturn in Part 10? #TwinPeaks https://t.co/Pc6KR8EnrV

Thinking about Moby's appearance again, probably a lot of people don't know that his first (major?) single was built upon "Laura Palmer's Theme":

I've been making horrible jokes about that on facebook this whole season. Stopping now that he's appeared.

I would say almost every person on this thread knows that at least
