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

OK, largely from dugpa so I take no credit, but...

The poster on Battlin' Bud Mullins' wall is for a fight on Tuesday 18th June. There are three potential candidate dates - 1957, 1963 and 1968. Tuesday 18th June was the day Cassius Clay fought Henry Cooper at Wembley. And Clay's fight before Cooper? Doug Jones. And in the Doug Jones fight he catches Clay at the end of Round One with a right to the side of the head. The commentary on loop at Sarah Palmer's house?
"Oh, the right hand catches the big guy on the ear!
And he finally goes down, hangs on to the ropes.
Oh, the gentleman asks him if he's okay.
Looks like, uh, round number one and two under way.
Now it's a boxing match again."

Isn't coincidence a wonderful thing?

or is it The Farm?

it is not. the Farm is where Roth/JJL were iirc

I thought The Farm was where Booper was supposed to be going before he got shot, and he met Roth somewhere else? Maybe I'm misremembering when it got mentioned.

hm you could be right about that

The guy who says "do you need any money?" to Booper is listed as Farm Accountant in the titles, so it looks like my interpretation was right. The arm-wrestling takes place at The Farm.

couldn't help myself and found a bunch of spoilers for episode 14, sounds like the one to watch and sounds fucking NUTSO

Please don't share

Yeah I can wait a week, not going looking for anything

Very much enjoyed seeing Big Ed

Although Twin Peaks: The Return has hosted an array of Roadhouse performers and spotlighted music throughout its new season, a large part of the show’s sonic identity has been defined by the space between sound effects and music. Sound and music Supervisor Dean Hurley’s first installment of the library-style Anthology Resource series showcases his original sound design and music compositions featured in the show’s very distinctive-sounding third season. From ethereal tones to sputtering electricity to densely brooding musical cues, this release operates as an unofficial ambient score to Twin Peaks, offering a more abstract counterpoint to the show’s official soundtrack and score. (You might also remember Hurley as the drummer from the fictitious band Trouble, alongside Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches, and David Lynch’s son Riley, who performed at the Roadhouse in 'Part 5' of The Return.)

fictitious band

Dammit!!

don't worry, james hurley is as real as real can be

Happy to see Ed, too. Through circumstance or design we haven't seen much of the good/wholesome characters of Twin Peaks this season—Harry Truman, Big Ed, Doc Hayward, Pete Marshall. They were important correctives to the general evil/awfulness of the world, the ones who made Twin Peaks seem like such an inviting place

yeah, i think sheriff truman 2.0 and carl have filled that gap a bit, but nevertheless there was a real gentle warmth to the ed / bobby / norma interactions that stood out from almost all of what we've seen

fictitious band

All bands are fictitous.

I bought the Trouble release on bandcamp last friday, now I have an entire album to consider?!

i guess now it's somewhat clear why norma was doing all that paperwork

Ed and Bobby still pining away for same ladies 25 years later :(

i'm rewatching episode 8 on my lunch break

imo bad coop wakes up bc the nine inch nails are causing such a racket at the roadhouse (bad coop has super sensitive hearing and thus can hear the nine inch nails from an incredible distance)

Imagine they're saving Julee Cruise for near the end..hoping

I've watched Gotta Light? three times now.

Amazing episode xp

Bobby has kinda filled the wholesome gap a bit. or maybe it just feels that way because of how different his character is

and the arm wrestling scene was kinda corny in a mainstream-action-movie way, but it was still a whole lot of fun, mostly because mr c is such a creepy character. and of all things lynch could come up with, an arm wrestling competition! dude never ceases to be unconventional

When they set up the wrestling competition, I was hoping for candles to be added. Having been introduced to much US folklore through certain European comics, I felt an otherwise fantastic scene that I was ready to call one of the series' best was utterly ruined by this key ingredient's omission

*arm wrestling, though a full-on Twin Peaks wrestling tournament would be quite something

Nadine vs the Giant

The arm wrestling scene gave me flashbacks to The Fly

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhlJ6kMWgfI

I'd be perfectly happy to never ever see the Fly arm wrestling scene ever again, and I saw it in the theater in 1986. I was already an avowed Cronenberg fan but we walked out not long after. took me many years to see that movie in full.

re: the cheesy action movie feel of the arm wrestling, can't remember where but read a recap/essay about how the whole scene is a spoof/commentary on the conventional action film, including the use of the huge TV screen as if everyone is watching a movie. Did somebody say that here? I don't remember, sorry if so. I'm tired.

yeah sorry dan didn't mean to offend with the video

Julee cruise confirmed on fb that she shows up at some point

almost would've preferred to be surprised

the use of the huge TV screen as if everyone is watching a movie.

rewatching episode 8: the white lodge has one of these too! and apparently it's a membrane through which they can transmit laura palmer to earth. ~ cinema is magic ~

She's on the cast list xp

oh lol i forgot

Just wanted to say how much I loved the bizarre conga line music at the start, I initially I thought it might be a stock/generic jingle thing like the 'old school rap beat' but god knows what you'd have to google to end up with that as the first result.

'Casio demo track after spilling Pepsi into keyboard'

sudden lot of murmuring about wanting a season 4, even from showtime. wonder if lynch has it in him though. Fenn even reactivated an FB page she left dormant two years ago and renamed it "we want twin peaks season 4".

I wouldn't mind if, rather than retiring, Lynch feels that he can't top himself anymore and decides to just coast for the rest of his career. Like, season 4 can be his Jack, his 'I Just Called to Say I Love You'.

18 episodes of Dougie and Truman going fishing, shelly grows fins, nadine becomes president, ben horne eats ashley judd

sudden lot of murmuring about wanting a season 4, even from showtime

mmmm, not exactly

http://deadline.com/2017/08/twin-peaks-no-second-season-showtime-david-lynch-david-nevins-tca-1202144491/

The showtime guy said that another season is not being considered and that this was always intended to be a one-off, but also said "the door is always open to David Lynch"; I've seen this story reported in different places as "omg no more twin peaks, say showtime" and "omg more twin peaks, say showtime"

I'll bet Lynch has at least one Fast & Furious movie in him.

yeah that first headline is misleading and isn't really what they said

It won't happen imo, it just makes sense for this to be the end, but I wonder if showtime would pony up for a different lynch project (and is the door always open for Mark Frost?)

another project would be interesting. maybe.

I figured this would be the endcap for TP and would be fine with that.

But if Showtime wants to bankroll Lynch projects then that sounds great. Financing has always been rough for him.

FYI since I haven't seen it mentioned ITT, Frost is apparently angling to have On The Air included as a bonus when the new TP season is released on Blu-ray.

Yeah it was mentioned in the old thread

There's definitely some on the air in this show's DNA so it makes sense to include it

honestly i hope there's more. i can spend forever in tp.

I appreciate this thread on its own merits, but it really shines when you compare it to FB discussions and a good chunk of dugpa. I got sick of everything being called "filler." The bar sweeping scene, the looping boxing match, musical acts at Bang Bang, The NIN at Bang Bang: FILLER!

One person on FB called Episode 8 filler.

it's all filler. delicious filler.

yah this thread is so good. on another message board they were talking about how dl was trying to one up game of thrones with the arm wrestling scene lol.
