Of course it could be argued that it's exactly those male neurosis that make him interesting, and who wants to see wholesome David Lynch movies?
exactly dude.

I wish he would come into terrible financial ruin and then be forced to direct Star Wars/Transformers franchise nonsense, though michael bay is becoming increasingly lynchian himself. am pretty bummed lynch never directed 'empire' though.

I would love to see another David Lynch SF film, especially if it was one that he created completely from scratch rather than based on a novel.

It'd be rad if he made Ender's Game and Michael Anderson was Ender.

and in the future of Ender's Game, everyone eats only creamed corn, and they eat it in the most disgusting manner possible.

Many x-posts, but Duwayne Dunham said in a commentary on the season one DVD set that he was called in to edit the pilot because David was editing Wild at Heart simultaneously and needed the extra help. That, and the other stuff mentioned upthread, really puts to bed the whole "Wild at Heart led to Twin Peaks downturn" theory, for me.

iirc in Lynch on Lynch he said that he kind of relinquished control over the direction of the series because the network pressured them to solve the mystery of Laura's murder prematurely and it screwed up the whole structure and momentum of the story. i seem to remember him specifically saying that when Agent Cooper took off his suit (and started wearing flannel,) that's when he ceased to be Agent Cooper.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 4 August 2009 06:05 (fourteen years ago) link
though i think he qualified it by saying "for me" that's when he ceased to be Agent Cooper.
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 4 August 2009 06:12 (fourteen years ago) link
It's so strange that the network pressured them to solve the murder-- it was the engine of the show, and they hadn't even done that many season 2 episodes yet! Even if the ratings were disappointing, come on! That reveal should at least wait until the end of season 2.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 4 August 2009 07:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I remember reading the original Harley Peyton outlines for the final episode before Lynch decided he was directing himself and hacked it up to focus on Black Lodge/Man From Another Place - at this point is was very Windom Earle-centric - and by christ it was a car crash. Read like Basil Woolverton drawing Wile E Coyote.

7 episodes? That's the patience level?
So dumb that they use The Fugitive as a contrast, as if that show didn't set the standard for stringing viewers along year after year.

aside from the propaganda aspect, which is unforgivable, the whole tone of that piece is so glib and condescending. fuck tv journalists.

Something i've wondered about since i watched the Season 2 DVDs: was Windom a direct ripoff of Hannibal Lector or was that "intelligent serial killer" bullshit just flying around at the time? I see that the Windom episodes started a bit before the SotL movie was released.

still re-watching the series. we hit the first episode of season 2 last night and i was like "oh yeah, that's what i remember twin peaks being like." the weirdness of pretty much everyone's performance gets cranked up, it's so much more entertaining that most of season 1 (along with some genuinely disturbing shit).
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Monday, 31 August 2009 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link

it's a labour of love in the middle, kind of. but then when you think about it after it is fairly amusing. would prob watch season 2 again.

the comedy bits can be unbelievable, tho I think the best ones are still in season 1. my favourite is hawk/coop/sheriff at the shooting range talking about women.

always wondered who did the drumming/brushwork on twin peaks. turns out it's grady tate:

and i don't know who was the main bassist for the series, but the credits on FWWM are serious -- ron carter, buster williams, and rufus reed.

donald bailey is credited with drums on FWWM too. someone should hire lynch to produce on a jazz album.
― Ømår Littel (Jordan), Tuesday, 10 November 2009 17:21 (fourteen years ago) link
uh, yeah. grady tate IIRC is all over the julee cruise albums too. badalamenti was an arranger so he knows all these jazz dudes.
a lot of the music cues from the series (esp. 2nd season) are all synthesized, by badalamenti as often as not. not a ton of full-group arrangements.

i sort of feel like jazz heads would turn up their noses at that julee cruise stuff, since it's so obviously "jazz-esque" without being jazz. obviously way more stylized than say norah jones but has a similar relation to jazz as a variety of motifs and figures rather than as an approach.
― figuratively, but in a very real way (amateurist), Tuesday, 10 November 2009 19:46 (fourteen years ago) link
the one-chord walking bassline "jazz" cues (audrey's theme or whatever) are way better in the 2nd season. that's when i really noticed the sick brushwork and had to find out who was behind it.
