JJL & T.Roth saying "I love you Hutch" & "I love you Chantal" was a pretty obvious nod to Pulp Fiction opening scene.

That whole scene felt like an ott Tarantino homage.

Man, the shots following Bad Coop through the darkness of the convenience store were amazing. Only let down was when the MC started introducing Sharp Dressed Man I thought Xiu Xiu might be about play :(
― devvvine, Monday, 21 August 2017 11:34 (six years ago) link
I like that the Roadhouse MC apparently also just introduces songs that they're playing over the PA. Like between every song he gets on stage and hypes everyone up for "Hot Blooded" or whatever.

Who was the 'bosomy/busty'(I can't remember which) woman in the credits? It seemed like an odd description, and I can't think who that would be.

xp I wonder if he has any props other than the posterboard with a volume dial drawn on to it
maybe a little thermometer slider for "Hot Blooded"

when evil coop gets told "you've already met judy" it made me wonder whether jeffries is correctly saying he's met judy, or if he's still confused about what year it is and which cooper he's talking to!
― mh, Monday, 21 August 2017 14:04 (six years ago) link
also got a little weirded out, do the dopplegangers know all of the things the real ones do? because evil coop didn't seem to be lying about remembering meeting jeffries at the fbi office
― mh, Monday, 21 August 2017 14:05 (six years ago) link
Started thinking Judy is Diane.
That woman who opened the door also appeared at the very end, after the credits. It was really really creepy.

I'm thinking "Judy" might be a reference to...http://www.moviemoviesite.com/Films/1958/USA/vertigo/vertigo29.jpg
― Chris L, Monday, 21 August 2017 14:22 (six years ago) link
the only other observation I've got following this episode was that the number Jeffries gave had some weird spacing, making me first think it might be coordinates because every third number looked like an exponent
480 551looked like 48^0 55^1 iirc
― mh, Monday, 21 August 2017 14:31 (six years ago) link
It wouldn't be the first nod to Vertigo in TP, e.g. Laura's doppelganger being named Madeleine.
And of course, in the film Judy and Madeleine turned out to be one and the same...so does it follow that Judy = Laura?
(I'm almost certain this won't be the case, but I just thought that would be a neat bit of symmetry.)
― Pheeel, Monday, 21 August 2017 15:04 (six years ago) link
Seen a lot of people suggesting that Judy is major GARLAND Briggs
xps the doppelgänger has all original coop's memories I'm pretty sure, he knew to ask about annie, addressed Harry by name - also none of his crazy schemes would really make sense otherwise as they're all predicated on things & people Cooper knew

Btw the Sarah Palmer Jumping Man thing is kinda blowing my mind, I was very excited to see that incredibly brief flash of JM but didn't see the overlay of her face at all. Was she credited?
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Monday, 21 August 2017 15:09 (six years ago) link
Really? Because of all the words I wod have used to describe her that wouldn't be one of them. It's an odd description for someone who is 'terrifying' 'gatekeeping' and so on - she's also the only woman we see above the store.

It's a reference to the restaurant "twin peaks"

There seems to perhaps be some link between the masked Lodge figures (Jumping Man, Chalfont the younger) and the Palmer women with removable faces. There was speculation at some point that Judy might be the monkey which appears in FWWM (uttering the name 'Judy' at some point) and whose face manifests beneath the mask of the Chalfont boy at one point.
Who actually knows what's going on.
― Gravy Zebra (Old Lunch), Monday, 21 August 2017 15:28 (six years ago) link
ALSO, the room that Cooper first went through above the convenience store, that was the room in the picture in Laura's bedroom, wasn't it? The wallpaper looked the same. I think I need to rewatch FWWM ASAP.
― Gravy Zebra (Old Lunch), Monday, 21 August 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link
I meant the name, as a descriptor. I know she has a bunch of connections to/ is entirely of the black lodge.
It's not a big deal, I was just confused by the character name.

xp I found the name odd too, I was just making a joke ("twin peaks" is the name of a hooters-style "breastaurant" in the states)

the final scene of inland empire (the lipsynch/coordinated dance to "sinnerman" attended by nikki/sue, camilla rhodes and a monkey (which may or may not be a reference to fwwm)) is such a good cap to lynch's filmmaking career that i'm really looking forward to... however this thing ends

def seems to be a strain of alchemical transmutation symbolism running through the show - gold/silver recurring all over the place as positive symbols from the silver/metallic sheen of the Fireman's house/theater/white lodge + their golden horn (and Laura in a golden bubble?), the gold shovels, Log Lady saying her log has turned to gold, gold rings etc.
whereas by contrast the Black Lodge vibe is black + burnt out, charred, ash, smoke

also just thinking about how in inland empire justin theroux technically plays a character named "billy" who disappears from the movie about halfway through

I was thinking it'd be hilarious if the woman who unlocked the door for Evil Coop was Judy
dude... you just saw her two seconds ago, what do you mean "who is judy?"

judy is not diane, diane is diane, her name is diane (not judy)

There's a theory floating that Naido may be Judy.

Except her name is Naido, as evidenced by her mane being Naido.

Judy is an allusion to Punch & Judy. This narrows the candidates down to only a few dozen twin peaks women

He asked Ray for the coordinates & then asked him where Jeffries was, a separate question. Ray said "the Dutchman's" & he was like ah cool I know that place, went to see Jeffries, now is going to the coordinates imo
