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

I've just started Season 2 and am finding it very frightening. Those first two episodes are properly scary.

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
yeah give it a couple episodes
― Angus Young (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 2 September 2009 04:18 (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.

I got the box brand-new on Boxing Day for $40 after discount, postcards included. I'd love to get the whole set (the base 61, not the extras), but there doesn't seem to be any shortcut...So far, I've watched the pilot plus first episode. I think it was about fifteen years ago when I watched the whole thing in re-run on Bravo. It reminds me of the O.J. saga in one respect: before it went off the rails and was reduced to camp, there was something really dark and grim there. Some of the pilot even seems to anticipate Elephant.

doubtful. it's certainly not banned in the UK, but it's not officially available on dvd here either. looks like S2 isn't available on Region 2 DVD (UK, Ireland, etc.) until early next year.
― caek, Monday, 28 December 2009 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link
watching down the last 8 or so episodes of Season 2 at the moment and am very tempted to skip through all this Windom Earl/corny subplots business and just get to that glorious final episode. Anyone recommend this? I never bothered watching these first time around.

"These" meaning S2 except for first few and final episode back when they first aired.

There's definitely some raw plot material you don't want to miss going forward. Not to be a purist, but there is some serious magic in the initial run of the first few episodes & u would be shortchanging yrself by fuckin w/ it too much.
