Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

IIRC there's something in the Secret History (canon) about the TP sheriffs having been Trumans going back a ways. And I believe the current Sheriff Truman was actually sheriff prior to his brother's tenure?

That's good wins, didn't remember that. But Hawk indeed strikes me as someone who should stay away from his desk as much as possible.

tree with mouth head is a better actor than little mikey (that's what lynch calls him on letterman)

Hawk has been a low-key MVP of this series. Aside from maybe Gordon, I think he's the only original character from the show who actually plays a bigger role in the new series

also his son in law irl is shitty hardcore punk rapper danny diablo

I, too, prefer the evolution of the arm to the OG arm, even just for within-universe reasons

I get a kick out of EotA and Jerry Horne's not-foot's cute little voices.

glad there's been some forster appreciation here. of the new cast members i feel like he's the one who'd most seamlessly fold into the atmosphere of the original show

They remind me of Marcel the Shell With Shoes On

of the new cast members i feel like he's the one who'd most seamlessly fold into the atmosphere of the original show

definitely agree with this, though I'm also loving the way Naomi Watts completely cuts against the tone of the original show and makes every scene she's in hers and hers alone

I would bet The Arm will further evolve before this is over.

this is weirdly hypnotic

Nolan can almost do what he wants by now. He has earned the right with his extremely profitable Batman trilogy but also with the successful big movie Inception and Interstellar. He has taken the genres that are great today - superhero movies, science fiction and coup films - and created personal editions. What especially affects me like a movie like The Prestige, The Dark Knight or Interstellar is how generous they are. They only needed half as many plot twists or half as many pictures to be successful as the blockbusters they basically are. But Nolan wants and can do more than that.

His strength lies in the imagination; In the idea of ​​a coup movie that takes place on several dream plans at one time, or in the many time packs from Interstellar. So why spend time on a realistic historical depiction? Conversely, the theme of the evacuation from Dunkerque fits perfectly to Nolan, who has always studied human morality in his film. Over and over again, on the beach, on the water, and in the air, young men must decide whether to put their own lives at risk to save others. Time after time they are over whether they will make it difficult, but right - like the grades on the boats in The Dark Knight or in the spaceships in Interstellar.

And what Nolan has always raised over his contemporaries is his insistence on linking form and content. Like his characters so often, make it difficult, as are his employees. So of course, the story should not be confined to common ideas about how a historical movie should be delivered, if the experience could be more effective in another way. Of course, the cutting must be many times more complicated than it could have been. And of course, the movie must be made at 70mm, rather than the more simple digital format, even though it might have been easier to save scenes on a computer in post-production. Christopher Nolan insists on doing the little things properly.

haha oops

um that wasn't what I meant

Rewatching selected eps from the original series and Hawk is introduced as "the best tracker around" by Sheriff Truman...

Both Phillip Gerard and Bobby Briggs manage to lose Hawk pretty early on:
Bobby by jumping out of Jacques Renault's apartment window and running down an alley and
Phillip by walking away from Hawk down a corridor in the morgue of the hospital.

I mean the scene shows Hawk just watching him walk away, I had no idea he was tracking him until Truman asked Hawk if he had and Hawk said "he lost me in the basement".

lol

TBF, the other trackers are terrible.

Hawk actually didn't give a shit

He only makes an effort when he thinks the opportunity to knife-throw a dude in the back might present itself.

Wins and Ross, sorry for being a bitch this morning.

nah you're alright with me jed :)

Thanks man.

great thread

:)

I love Forster's kindness and patience with everyone; it's what makes him immediately blend in so well I think.

Rewatched 10 and the scene between Hawk and Margaret leading into Rebekah del Rio nearly brought me to tears; great episode.

On rewatch it's obvious Candie is telling Sizemore about Mr. Jackpots, then deceives the casino boss when he asks her, which puts her remorse over hitting him in an ironic light (which was probably obvious to everyone but I had to see it a second time to work it out). I'm really intrigued to see where they go with that character.

I think I'm up for one or two more "straight" eps then I want another bugout mindfuck.

It also seems from the way she's using her hands that Candie could see the Black Lodge visions above the slot machines.

erm no

She appears to be identifying which machines paid out by holding her arms up high, pointing above them, where the little vision things were.

Or not, whatever.

I would personally be hesitant to 'erm no' anything about this show at this point. Like the final episode might wind up being an hour of footage from the 1986 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Who even knows.

my interpretation of this show is 100% unassailable and correct fyi

j/k but it seems like a stretch to connect Candie to Cooper's visions, the Lodges, etc. in any way, she was there for comic relief, she hasn't been shown to be particularly significant to the underlying conflicts of the show. yes this could all change on a dime, but idk so far this show doesn't seem to be trafficking in that kind of bait and switch. People who are associated with the Lodges, can see things, are shown to do just that or otherwise explicitly connected.

Hawk, Carl, the principal, Cooper - their connections have all been pretty explicit and open

I'm certain the casino floor manager was specifically placed in the same shot as Candie and the insurance guy on the security camera so that nobody would be tempted to misinterpret the scene as her telling him anything other than whatever it is she later says she told him.

And a security guy, too! She's not gonna blab to insurance man and then lie to the Casino Brothers when there were two witnesses to the conversation literally looking over her shoulder!

But if it weren't for that fact, I would totally agree that it looks like she's describing the Mr. Jackpots fiasco

Why not? She's not giving away secrets, just relating something that happened that was also witnessed by a bunch of other people in the casino.

Her answer about the weather to the Mitchum brother is a bit snide and they seem to let her get away with a fair amount of odd behavior.

Anyway, again, who knows. It's just more interesting to speculate along these lines than to assume she's merely "comic relief."

I kind of wonder if Lynch and Frost's image of the Tammy character was "precocious, trying to act sexy and mature but not quite nailing it"

― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 01:43

Completely nailing the sexy.

I was, however, pretty repulsed and disappointed in the hit and run on the child a few episodes ago.

― I'm make-believe. (jed_), Monday, 17 July 2017 20:05

Why disappointed?

Want to get a Rebekah Del Rio album. Anybody heard her albums?

nah but Chrysta Bell's first full length is real good particularly "this train", "real love" and "swing with me"

I don't think the box set is out of print. HMV/Fopp are selling it cheap in all their stores. I just bought it this week to get Missing Pieces.

Stores likely still have it but I believe they're no longer producing new copies. Probably in anticipation of a new and even more complete set once the revival has finished airing.

idk I think being an attractive person and “acting sexy” by purposefully walking, doing this pursed lips pensive lean to your head that looks exaggerated, it’s more intentional than natural poise

I think her acting is extremely unnatural and distracting. You can practically hear her inner monologue: "now how would a human being hold their head and look serious while having an important conversation with another human being?"

I would personally be hesitant to 'erm no' anything about this show at this point. Like the final episode might wind up being an hour of footage from the 1986 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Who even knows.

Like the fabled early draft of fwwm that started with eisenhower's inauguration, which is interrupted by the episode of I love Lucy where Lucy gives birth (this never actually happened I don't think - the episode famously outdid the inauguration in the ratings but it went out the night before)

Re candie not being what she seems, there's a recent interview with Amy Shiels where she talks about her approach to the role & goes into the backstory she imagined for the character & her relationship to the brothers, the way it comes across really would make no sense if there were further crazy revelations about her being BOB or whatever

Then again actors can be good at giving candid interviews that nevertheless mislead you - remember all those interviews maclachlan gave just before the premiere where he talked about playing Cooper again & made it sound like the character was gonna be exactly the same? I remember thinking "wtf surely they can't do that, dude's been in hell for a quarter century" but it turns out everything he was saying was the truth, it's just that nobody could have known how it applied.

guys it could still fall through but as currently stands we're having a v exciting guest on the Lodgers the week after next (a writer/critic, not someone from the production) and I am really stoked
