Happened to run across these photos today, it's from 2014. Trump et al. Golden shovels. Jerry's anti-gov ranting. Could it be?

Seems a cert tbh

the golden shovel thing is a 'breaking ground' thing, not specific to trump but yeah, still

It is the third season guys. More intrigued by "a time presents itself".
That's something that the log lady says in part 2: "the stars turn and a time presents itself". It was used as the description for that ep and the title of the first version of this thread comes from this

I'd missed the last bit, thanks. (though I just realised I've gone through the whole of TR without knowing any of the episode descriptions)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 14 September 2017 19:34 (seven years ago) link
they're just lines from each episode and on the whole don't actually illuminate anything and in some cases sound more important than they wound up being

I had a tangential connection to the marketing of the show here and Showtime were adamant that it was not to be referred to as a "season" in any marketing materials. Also you had to call them "parts" rather than episodes.

It may have something to do w/ CBS Entertainment releasing the blu-ray set. Their rights to the previous seasons might be structured differently than Showtime's.
― Chris L, Thursday, 14 September 2017 20:02 (seven years ago) link
Which is fun because it's infighting: CBS Entertainment and Showtime are both owned by the CBS Corporation

Maybe kinda lame but my first thought when I saw that cover was of my friends who are gonna watch it on DVD (& are so far 100% unspoiled) losing some of the impact of that first appearance of Mr C. I'm actually hoping the menus don't give the game away regarding stuff like the sweeping, Wally Brando &c and they just stick to shots of trees and stuff.
― streeps of range (wins), Thursday, 14 September 2017 20:11 (seven years ago) link
isn't Mr. C in the first episode?
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 14 September 2017 20:16 (seven years ago) link
Ha, I like that the scene of a dude slowly sweeping up cigarette butts on the roadhouse floor ranks as a major spoiler.

Yes xp

I need to rewatch the pure joy of the Wally Brando scene
I was grateful that Lucy mentioned him again at the end, in front of Mr. C

I'm pleased that the blu-ray cover satisfies the mullet hairstyle definition: business at the front, party at the back.

Best thing about the finale is that it slammed the door shut on any possibility of continuing the series. He pretty much burned that whole universe to the ground.
― Evan R, Thursday, 14 September 2017 19:21
If anything I would say it multiplied the possibilities.

the lodgers ep that was talking about the asynchronicities in the show made me think: am i crazy or did david lynch say before the season started that you would be able to watch the episodes in any order? that kind of seems like b.s. but now i really want someone to watch the season with the episodes (or ideally scenes) in random order and report back
― na (NA), Friday, 15 September 2017 17:28 (seven years ago) link
He kinda half-suggested it but not really tbh
He even suggests, with a smile, that the best approach may be to view the parts out of order. “You know, the projectionist once in awhile would make a mistake and put reel four before reel two or something,” he says. “People still made sense of it.”

for anyone not wanting to click into the Ebert article
If you are old enough, you will recall this phrase when you went to the movies in the 1950s. That was when during the double-feature era before 1960, movie theatres did not list show times in newspapers. If they did, few paid attention to them. You just showed up and entered the dark theatre while one of the movies was playing. You would wait a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the dark and then shuffle to empty seats. A few hours later came that memorable moment when you or one of your companions would nudge the others and say, "This is where we came in." Then you'd shuffle out.This was common. You were not the only ones. It was an ingrained habit to arrive at any old time. Others who came in at some other time did the same thing. People were continuously entering and leaving the theatre. How could we understand the movie's plot while watching it beginning at some scene in the middle on to the end, and then from the beginning to the middle? It now seems crazy but our brains seemed to do mental splicing that did not require much effort. But we really lost something in the experience. When you saw the ending prior to the beginning, you did not gain from the introductory set up of the plot and the characters.

― Shart Dressed Man (kurt schwitterz), Friday, 15 September 2017 17:40 (seven years ago) link
The context was him saying he was fine with however people chose to watch it, & obv there's a general point there about how meaning can be constructed from a non-linear text
It would be a p good exercise tbh, & I imagine in the future I might just stick on random episodes, not sure it'd be the best way to watch for the 1st time tho!
Many xps

It'd also be the thing lynch would get most of a kick out of signing I bet

I enjoyed that about this season, the non-linear feel that people kept trying to puzzle out, trying to line up dates and occurrences to figure out when the different Coopers were doing things
I like to think that every time we see Jerry, with the exception of the initial scene with his brother, is part of some meandering journey through the woods where he's continually hallucinating, running off in fits of paranoia, and stumbling into the plot

bad binoculars
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Friday, 15 September 2017 17:52 (seven years ago) link
tbh it feels like i watched this whole show through bad binoculars
we're all Jerry, picked up nude and screaming by the cops and thinking we know what happened

Good example is that scene where Dougie apparently interrupts a wild night out with the Mitchum brothers to go home and play baseball with Sonny Jim for one very brief scene. Made no sense, but it was too deliberate to be a continuity error.
Also did anybody ever parse meaning out of that scene with Andy waiting for somebody? Forgot all about it without figuring it out
― Evan R, Friday, 15 September 2017 18:02 (seven years ago) link
JENSEN: What was your favorite Cooper?
LYNCH: I love them all. I don’t know what type of person, but there must be a lot of them that just love Dougie. Kyle did such a good job as Dougie. You want to have a Dougie at home, to take care of and sit with and have cake and stuff.

FRANICH: Quick follow-up question: What is the story with Billy?

This! Lynch comments on so little, but here he explicitly dismisses the dullest interpretation of his work:
JENSEN: It seemed like we encountered so much of you in this show. We felt like we saw allusions to other films, implied, implicit. Were you reflecting a lot on your life and your work while you were making this?LYNCH: No, it was a coincidence. I guess I just love certain things. It was this world of Twin Peaks that was talking. I didn’t think about any other films.

seeing a bunch of his old stuff (and other artists' work) in the new TP isn't really an interpretation

I mean, I don't see a lot of direct connections to his own previous films, but there are really obvious nods to old movies by other directors

a popular analysis (even in this thread if I recall?) was Lynch was offering an elaborate comment on his own work and response to it. Which... is boring. Much more exciting to think any similarities were the result of him pouring so much of himself on screen there couldn't help but be overlap
― Evan R, Friday, 15 September 2017 18:30 (seven years ago) link
JENSEN: One of many amazing scenes that Gordon had this season was that amazing piece of comedy when the French Lady that he’s entertaining in his hotel suite has to leave. What was the inspiration for that elaborate exit?LYNCH: Albert. It’s great watching Albert see this mess.
