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

These have been fun and genial threads and if I'm being a bit of a dick I'm sorry, obviously it's fine for people to watch the show for different reasons. I do think part of the decision to put him in Vegas is just how unlikely it was, for both character and setting, not something inherent in the character they're trying to bring out.

No apology necessary; I'm loving this convo and am fascinated by your viewpoint, which despite how alien it seems to me you've made a strong case for. This has been much more fun to dissect than, like, numbers or the meaning of names or w/e

I would very much like to make love to a beautiful woman who I had genuine affection for.

Obviously. "bang" just seems a little flippant

That's because it was, you get the picture tho

The classic "does Coop fuck?" debate is the same regardless of the crassness of the terms used

This guy fucks

*arms flap*

Did anybody else think Audrey in the Roadhouse was wearing a big ring that looked kind of like the ring that sends you to the Lodge if you die?

my first thought was "who let Diane Feinstein into the Roadhouse"

oh man that's mean

i will say that scene made me very slightly uncomforable so I'm glad it concluded the way it did as it seemed like the kind of thing that, if you'd let TP fans write this, they would have come up with on their own.

it's totally the haircut (if it isn't clear on my personal scale of people Audrey/Sherilyn Fenn >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DiFi)

absolutely loved that scene, when her song cued up it really hit me. I especially liked that as her dance went on there were these glimpses of "young" Audrey in her mannerisms and moves and expressions, which hit a sentimental note that you can only really access when you've loved someone for a huge stretch of their life, where even though they are old and different now you can still see these little things that haven't changed, that completely evokes how they used to be.

so yes it was the kind of thing a TP fan might write I guess lol but it was so well done, and ending with the jump-cut was perfect

otm, such remarkable acting by Fenn during that dance. there's one shot where her face is suddenly 100% young Audrey. obv of a piece with MacLachlan's mastery of facial expressions and body language this season.

that last shot of her in the future white mystery mirror reminded me of the last shot of Vanilla Sky lol

yeah one thing I want to say is that everybody who said fenn forgot how to act was wrong wrong wrong

respect

also is that a twin peaks tat on her inner arm

Laura Dern is the best btw.

"everybody who said fenn forgot how to act was wrong wrong wrong"
yeah not sure why anyone would argue that, her acting in those scenes was not appreciably worse than the acting she did in the original series, and very much in character really. she's proven in various other places she's capable as an actress (her short stint on gilmore girls, that show where she played a drunk on showtime or HBO years ago)

I'm in the.. I'm not me.. I *glitches out completely*

that was really the cruelest thing, the evil Cooper sending this trigger message to the Diane doppleganger that was pretty much a self-destruct code

so can anybody spell this out for me - Mr. C said he had three sets of coordinates, two of which matched the rock. The two that matched were clearly a trap designed to kill him, and the third is presumably the coordinates to Jack Rabbit's Palace. Where did these three sets originate from? There's the coordinates that Diane got off the body, and then the coordinates he got from Ray... where did the other set come from? I assume the two that matched originated with Jeffries (or the "fake" Jeffries, who clearly wants Mr. C dead at this point).

I assume Diane's coordinates were the correct ones

The other set were from Jeffries, I assume.

from the teakettle? or did he give him coordinates over the phone in that early episode? I can't remember and haven't rewatched.

third set was from teapot/jeffries, right? when the numbers float out into the air and evil cooper takes the notepad out to jot them down?

xpost

still kind of cracking up at the "goodbye, my son" line that was delivered nearly completely flat

ah right thx KM I had forgotten that detail

surely some maniac out there has photo documented these numbers on the internet

Wouldn't it be great if Janey-E was actually the real Diane, given Watts' Betty/Diane doubling in MULHOLLAND DR?

YES!!!! please

NW being the real Diane would be so perfect

About a month ago before I had started watching The Return, I was talking to a friend about Lost Highway and he asked me if I was enjoying Laura Dern's turn as Diane. I said I hadn't seen it and he apologized but I didn't care because it could've easily been Cooper's Diane or Diane Selwyn.

Ok, that was... Something else. Amazing. Audrey's dance, Diane's performance, shit, it was all so fucking great. (except Vedder, who's song I did not care for)

My last Monday evenings have been watching the episode plus another hour catching up on this thread. Dread that next week will be the last evening spent like that :(

my expectations for the Vedder appearance were so low & honestly pretty much every band that's played at the Roadhouse has fucking sucked & I was surprised by how much I liked the song, his performance, & its place in the episode.

except Vedder, who's song I did not care for

yeah I basically just rolled my eyes through this whole scene, surprised anyone listened to/deciphered the lyrics but I have a low yarling-tolerance.

xp
re: Janey E being Diane -- wouldn't put it past Lynch, and NW did seem kind of mystified/curious when Coop said he was someone else.

Great episode, and a swift reminder just how fast things can change in this show. The Coop waking and Richard Horne death scene both happened for me without any obvious setup, and like a lot of the best parts of this show, somehow linger in my mind longer than if they'd made big productions about "what was about to happen". Even the last Audrey scene in the mirror -- didn't see it coming. Good direction/editing, setting up what appears to be a slam-bang finale this weekend.

honestly pretty much every band that's played at the Roadhouse has fucking sucked

No way. Chromatics fucking nailed it.

Vedder was just dude with a hat singing a song. It didn't bring anything to the table. Fuck me if I'm going to pay attention to his lyrics.

xp lol otm

a bunch of the bands have been great wtf

granted none of them have been Smashing Pumpkins or Animal Collective so maybe there's just no pleasing a flappy bird

Yeah talking bollocks there. Who was that band with Lynch's son playing guitar? Trouble, I think. I thought they were cool. Cmon Nine Inch Nails were great too esp in the context of that particular episode.

I thought lots of them were great.

Anyway Julee Cruise next week!

rockin back inside my heart

I liked James

I've always kind of wanted to listen to more Au Revoir Simone and TP has convinced me

and The Nine Inch Nails. who did Moby play with

granted none of them have been Smashing Pumpkins or Animal Collective so maybe there's just no pleasing a flappy bird

Guilty lol :)

Most of them have been pitch perfect, very much in tune with the vibe of the episode. I did not feel this with Vedder at all (I do not hate the guy, but it just was really off).
