idk if ppl are still confused about the insurance thing but it seemed p clear that coop-dougie did uncover fraud and that mullins is in on it.

that didn't seem like the case to me. I dunno. I don't really care either.

The yelling woman in the car reminded me of the the woman yelling "Something's stung me real bad" after being accidentally shot through the wall in the Mulholland Dr hitmen scene.

I just keep thinking, lady, you're seriously burying the lede with all this dinner and uncle talk when the kid next to you is slumped down and looks like a zombie
― mh, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
that shot was so strange and unexpected at first I thought the kid was like materializing from the lodge dimension or something, the way he slid up from the seat and then lurched over her, so fucking creepy
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
also, the woman with her eye shot out in the bushes at the beginning - was that supposed to be the woman that got blown up in the trailer by Richard? or somebody else?

xpost Yes, that was Miriam.
Wasn't the kid a girl?
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link
And, of course, the kids discovering Miriam crawling out of the bushes reminded me of Dorothy Vallens dazed on the lawn in Blue Velvet, and Ronette Pulaski wandering down the tracks dazed and beaten in season 1, and David Lynch's story about his own childhood. Watching The Art Life documentary recently really rammed home how just how much his childhood and early adulthood colours his work.

Isn't that what happened? That's 100% what I thought happened, did it not?

I think she was lying on the floor in front of the seat
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 17:08 (six years ago) link
So many kids in this too - the three at the beginning this ep, the gun kid, the sick girl, sonny jim, the kid who got run over, 119 lady's son. The original had little Nicky & the tremond boy & that's it. Donnie from bv and the eraserhead baby are the only other examples I can think of from Lynch's career.

Zombie girl was lying with her back and head on the seat, her feet on the floor, in shadow but still visible once you know to look.

Roberto could you explain the insurance thing in detail, step by step, for those of us who are slow.
― sciatica, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 17:22 (six years ago) link

yeah I thought I'd mentioned this earlier, the preponderance of kids as mute witnesses/victims, it's pretty striking

i think i saw in the credits that one of the baseball kids had the last name "frost," presumably they are related to mark frost

was anybody else thrown by the opening shot of the kids, with the camera following the ball? I didn't see that it was three kids playing pickle at first, thought kids were getting swapped out mid-shot somehow

Can't believe people are theorizing, sometimes quipping, that Candie is Laura/a lodge spirit/on drugs/a spy/a robot/whatevs when she is that rare case of someone, be it on TV or irl, who engages with the world in a relatable and sustainable way D':
― Dancing on the Pylons, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 17:58 (six years ago) link
what is it we're not getting about insurance fraud?the two obvious cases are paying out to cover fraudulent claims, and denying claims that are legitimate
Tony (Sizemore), when called out by Cooper ("he's lying") was talking about how they needed to pay out a couple claims -- presumably they were fake and he's getting a kickback. The second part was denying the claim that the Mitchum brothers had and claiming it was arson. Presumably Tony's criminal contacts (that Duncan guy who has ordered hits) have it out for the Mitchums and wanted it denied.

Candie's empathetic yeah but I don't feel she has any connection to lodge/etc. personally.

candie is the greatest character in television history so she need be nothing more or less than what she already is

so true. i've been getting all depressed thinking about how she's so great in this and how great it would be to see her in a major role in another lynch thing down the road and then realizing there probably won't be another lynch thing down the road.

:-/ it's true. but at least it feels like he's using this opportunity to basically do every last thing he wants to do. it really seems like he took full advantage of the creative freedom and 18 hours of time to just do EVERYTHING
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:18 (six years ago) link
that is an excellent interview
air conditioners!
it's also good to hear about Sizemore doing ok, I know he's had some rough times

ah jeez, I just read about his recent history, it's uh... nice he was reasonable to the TP cast

I don't really know anything about Sizemore or his issues
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:24 (six years ago) link
he gets messed up on any drugs he can find and hits his girlfriend, generally
― mh, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:24 (six years ago) link
He played an undercover cop in the film Swindle opposite Sherilyn Fenn. In 2004, he starred in Paparazzi.
In 2006, he starred in The Genius Club, playing a terrorist who taunts seven geniuses into solving the world's problems in one night.
Ah shit, poor guy
oh xp there's worse, haven't got to that bit yet
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link
So Sizemore will probably go on the long list of actors whose final professional work was in a Lynch project (because he sounds basically unemployable).

xp he has bit parts in something like a dozen movies already in post-production to come out this year or next, but they're all b-movie style productions

refer to my previous post about Lodge associates - they've all been linked v explicitly in this series, generally the show hasn't trafficked in the kind bait-and-switch ("this apparently normal person is from the Black Lodge! SURPRISE!") people are going for re: Candie
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:36 (six years ago) link
I don't think everyone unusual has to be from the lodge (actually I kinda do think that but not in the way ppl seem to be suggesting)
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:37 (six years ago) link
The old waiter being a Lodge Person was exactly that kind of twist though
― Screamin' Jay Gould (The Yellow Kid), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 18:39 (six years ago) link
my other theory (the interview makes the whole "she's a mole in the organization" theory seem bad) is that the lodge has been subtly manipulating people, like the Belushi Mitchum having a dream about the desert scene, and their influence has a bleed-over effect. Candie, already being kind of.. absent.. is seriously getting messed up where other people brush it off
