the OG twin peaks series really seems like an extended dream
before you came here, twin peak was a simple place. my brothers sell drugs to the teenagers and truck drivers. one-eyed jack's is open to the businessman and tourist. quiet people living quiet lives. then, a pretty girl die. and you arrive. and everything change. my brother bernard is shot and left to die in the woods. a grieving father smothers my surviving brother with a pillow. arson. kidnapping. death. destruction. suddenly, the quiet people here, they are quiet no longer. and the simple dream? it become a nightmare. maybe, i kill you, you will be the last to die. maybe, you brought the nightmare with you. maybe, when you die, the nightmare end.

Incidentally my from z to a box arrived this week, on lynchâs birthday no less. #21,350/25,000 (the nerd in me wishes they had produced just one more set)Havenât had any time to watch at all but Iâm playing the complete roadhouse performances while tidying my flat. âLadies and gentlemen, the roadhouse is proud to welcome... Hudson Mohawkeâ
― Baby yoda laid an egg (wins), Friday, 24 January 2020 20:26 (four years ago) link
circa the mid 00s i watched a performance of hudson mohawks's bad hip hop duo, who were supporting caribou, and i was like 'ha, this is bad', feeling all superior. fast forward a decade and a half and he has production credits on a kanye west album and appears on an episode of twin peaks. karma got me

btw, i thought that short was actually pretty good and funny! i was surprised because while a vein of lynch's sense of humor runs through all his work, i usually haven't enjoyed the things that place it at the forefront - on the air, the cowboy and the frenchmen.

I see on Wikipedia that Chrysta Bell's voice and musical style are described as âetherealâ and âsensualâ.
From my observation, her acting style is "nonexistent".

Weird of Lynch to cast a musician with a flat affect whose acting style mainly involves moving their head around a lot https://66-media-tumblr-com.cdn.ampproject.org/i/s/66.media.tumblr.com/b4470245661935847d7b3203c33c8130/tumblr_ne6f5644Mz1rpotpgo3_r1_250.gif

There is a fairly wide gulf between her singing and her acting, it's true.
― Unparalleled Elegance (Old Lunch), Friday, 27 March 2020 12:09 (four years ago) link
I guess it was around the time of Twin Peaks where Lynch really started throwing together excellent actors with total non-actors. It may have happened earlier, but Leo Johnson is the first instance of this that really sticks out in my mind. Sometimes it works better than others but it's definitely a Lynch hallmark and often creates an interesting vibe. Could also have something to do with him never having actors read for parts.
The non-actor that played the Cowboy character in Mullholland Drive had to have his lines pinned to his acting partner's chest so he could read them like a cue card.
― Cow_Art, Friday, 27 March 2020 15:09 (four years ago) link
The irony is that "total non-actor" actually gained fame in Hollywood by casting total non-actors in mostly lead roles (eg, Mick Jagger in Wings of Ash, Debbie Harry in Union City, Robert Gordon in The Loveless).
but Leo Johnson is the first instance of this that really sticks out
Always helps when your mom is David Lynch's regular casting director.
...but you missed the very biggest non-actor elephant in the room, Lynch himself!

also I don't remember him being this inept

btw doc you have heard at least one chrysta bell song, the very beautiful âpolish songâ from inland empire. Not hugely into her music otherwise tho I like it fine - acting-wise, as I say Tammy Preston = Chester Desmond

I thought Bowie's performance in FWWM was (at the time) and (upon rewatch) still is terrible... as bad as Isaak & Bell.
But Bowie actually became a decent actor, I thought he was excellent in The Prestige. For someone who doesn't follow his film career, when did he turn it around?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Friday, 27 March 2020 21:11 (four years ago) link
Chris Isaak is fine as an actor.
His sitcom was kind of ok.
