thread for ppl who aren't watching Twin Peaks Season 3

Is this Whiney's hemiola moment

Guy Debord - top bloke, always comin 'ome blind he was

I've been following a stupid Twin Peaks meme facebook group and it's given me all kinds of flashbacks to all the kids of my very late teens/early 20s who were all about this shit

it's a different world, I remember one of my close friends talking about how the two local video rental places kept losing the seventh tape of Twin Peaks on VHS or w/e and how it was seriously fucking with their viewing

seriously, who was the asshole in town who was stealing one particular tape?

can't really comment on any of this without seeming all old man at these kids, but a bunch of them seem interested in film and indie/foreign/old stuff

and a heartening number of them get angry when people bring up covers of twin peaks music

Is this Whiney's hemiola moment

I admitted I fucked up!

I'm not sure how much *more* Lynch would need to do on his stuff to be legit considered an "auteur" by remy. n/m the fact that the very term auteur was specifically created to apply to directors working w/in the studio system - ie, guys (always guys sad lol) who were not nearly as engaged in the minutiae as Lynch obviously is what with his sole sound design credit on this (for ex). Anyone who thinks Lynch literally does everything himself on any of his films, much less a big-network show like TP, is obviously ignorant of how things work, but Lynch's involvement w multiple aspects of his productions, his experience in other fields, and his consistency across his body of work mark him as a multi-talented figure, and not someone who's just willy-nilly taking credit for his collaborators' work to advance his own cult of personality. I wouldn't say that all that evidence is outweighed by the accounts of disgruntled former collaborators. And what other major American directors of his generation are there that are so engaged - Wes and PT Anderson, the Coens, Fincher I suppose? Not a big pool.

Lynch is returning to TV in a world where people use the word "showrunner"

we all know that this is the cinematic equivalent of rockism, yes? Just checking

idgi - where am I misapplying the values of a mode of criticism?

remy's post (maybe I should link it here) is primarily about how Lynch's rep as an "auteur" is undeserved.

Twin Peaks Returns to Showtime, lets anticipate!!

the worst art gallery talk I ever went to involved an artist who had a lot of sculpture in her exhibit but was a designer/illustrator and one particular audience member had to keep asking these "so.. you don't do the sculptures yourself?" leading questions, and she would explain, no, she has a studio and designs all the figures and works with sculptors

we had that auteur discussion elsewhere, let's not infect every thread w/it

The show moved from a hotbed of unique, sui generis ideas into a single, monolithic cultural signpost.

It's early but the first couple episodes seem to do a pretty good job of counteracting this.

But as some cultural critics might ask, who gives a SHIT? Lynch certainly doesn't. If the point is that late capitalism is sucking our culture dry then, sure, I'm with you, but I guess I see the lazy referential stuff as more akin to remoras than lampreys.

I'll let it go - I didn't bring it up

xp

I zung "auteur" talk pretty good iirc

It's ok tho if ultimately this series is not aimed at people who aren't fans of the excellent 21st century films of David Lynch or knowing what words mean

Not to say that Lynch is godhead and cannot be questioned but I think the flaws in the revival will be of his own making, not borne out of a wish to pander to the cosplay kids.

the people having the TP cultural moment problems itt - especially those who haven't seen it yet - need to just wait a couple days. in a few weeks it'll be as much of a hassle for you to deal with as inland empire was in 2006 (which iirc was very little mainstream attention) because this show is more uncompromising than that film, and 6 times as long

tbh I haven't watched any new Twin Peaks because I was watching less haute couture programming being shown binge-style on the SyFy channel

i can't imagine what the clickbait articles will be about in a week or two, other than "13 totally unexplainable things in the baffling return of twin peaks - you won't believe how much we don't understand #6!"

This new thing that barely pretends to be an old thing has ruined my twitter feed!

won't somebody please think of whiney's twitter feed

i fell asleep during Inland Empire tbh. I just want to be entertained. The original Twin Peaks was nice to look at and entertaining. I will eventually watch this update, and hopefully be entertained and have some dope eye candy.

i mean, i kinda get the weariness of seeing it. i am really sick of reading about those spinner toys or whatever

those pogs you like are going to come back into style

Do you think Donald Trump is watching Season 3 of Twin Peaks?

my real intro to lynch was when mulholland drive was at the college town cheap theater, saw it for $2 and again on two-for-one night for $1

imo nothing is going to top that price/value ratio, didn't even need to own a tv or internet connection so even free showtime is over the top

"ruined my twitter feed"

ime the baseline for twitter feeds in 2017 is ruin

does twin peaks feature THE ORB lol

that shirt is the wild palms to my twin peaks

we'll have forgotten this thread when whiney's making money off the book of dogs dressed like twin peaks characters

It would be cool if that was one shirt.

When I first saw this thread, I thought it would be like this one:

List of people who have recently purchased 'Capital' by Thomas Piketty

keep your wild palms off my twin peaks, buddy

something about max headroom

Is Donnie Wahlberg watching Twin Peaks Season 3?

do you think david lynch incorporated any reference to the fact there's a hooters-knockoff restaurant called "twin peaks" in this new series

Chris Cornell: not watching Twin Peaks Season 3

peasky weaksy

xp wow

Peak Ilx for this thread to be longer than the Twin Peaks thread. Esp this coming from the threat starter, notable and esteemed hipster puppy auteur Weingarten. Hot garbage flies 'round for all of us.

We can do it

Is there anyone else besides me, Morbs and Sara who are like "Yeah, I can wait, thanks"

longer than the Twin Peaks thread

non-spoiler TP thread has twice as many answers as this one. Not everyone watched 4 hrs of TV last night (which is what the s3 spoiler thread is for)

xp

Whiney if it makes you feel any better, based on these first episodes, no one is going to be writing about the new episodes by late June

(I mean this as a compliment to the show)

Shakey, yeah soz, the non-spoiler and spoiler thread feel like the white and black lodges to me now. Dunnae know where to turn tbh.

do you think Chief Keef is watching Season 3 of Twin Peaks?
