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

oh lol i forgot

Just wanted to say how much I loved the bizarre conga line music at the start, I initially I thought it might be a stock/generic jingle thing like the 'old school rap beat' but god knows what you'd have to google to end up with that as the first result.

'Casio demo track after spilling Pepsi into keyboard'

sudden lot of murmuring about wanting a season 4, even from showtime. wonder if lynch has it in him though. Fenn even reactivated an FB page she left dormant two years ago and renamed it "we want twin peaks season 4".

I wouldn't mind if, rather than retiring, Lynch feels that he can't top himself anymore and decides to just coast for the rest of his career. Like, season 4 can be his Jack, his 'I Just Called to Say I Love You'.

18 episodes of Dougie and Truman going fishing, shelly grows fins, nadine becomes president, ben horne eats ashley judd

sudden lot of murmuring about wanting a season 4, even from showtime

mmmm, not exactly

The showtime guy said that another season is not being considered and that this was always intended to be a one-off, but also said "the door is always open to David Lynch"; I've seen this story reported in different places as "omg no more twin peaks, say showtime" and "omg more twin peaks, say showtime"

I'll bet Lynch has at least one Fast & Furious movie in him.

yeah that first headline is misleading and isn't really what they said

It won't happen imo, it just makes sense for this to be the end, but I wonder if showtime would pony up for a different lynch project (and is the door always open for Mark Frost?)

another project would be interesting. maybe.

I figured this would be the endcap for TP and would be fine with that.

But if Showtime wants to bankroll Lynch projects then that sounds great. Financing has always been rough for him.

FYI since I haven't seen it mentioned ITT, Frost is apparently angling to have On The Air included as a bonus when the new TP season is released on Blu-ray.

Yeah it was mentioned in the old thread

There's definitely some on the air in this show's DNA so it makes sense to include it

honestly i hope there's more. i can spend forever in tp.

I appreciate this thread on its own merits, but it really shines when you compare it to FB discussions and a good chunk of dugpa. I got sick of everything being called "filler." The bar sweeping scene, the looping boxing match, musical acts at Bang Bang, The NIN at Bang Bang: FILLER!

One person on FB called Episode 8 filler.

it's all filler. delicious filler.

yah this thread is so good. on another message board they were talking about how dl was trying to one up game of thrones with the arm wrestling scene lol.

lol

one thing I was thinking about given how the Dougie arc has gone, and in particular with the confrontation/confession ("thank Dougie") from last ep - is how we're being shown a limited/diminished version of Cooper that is nonetheless still v much a force for good in the world. He may be operating in a fog and in this weirdly blank, reflective way but he is, as in his previous incarnation, having a big impact on those around him - providing solace and comfort to the afflicted, protecting the weak and vulnerable, turning enemies into friends, rooting out injustice and corruption. It's an odd kind of heroism, but I find it moving in the context of the first two seasons.

Yeah it's a good distillation of his character, which was always far more passive than his sherlockian man-of-action persona suggests. He's navigating the dangers of this world the same way he solved the palmer case - by being receptive to dreams and coincidence & being pulled along by the currents of the text - he just isn't spouting can-do gibberish while he does it

Of course that Dale Cooper failed, over and over again, which is worrying. I really hope nothing bad happens to Janey or Sonny Jim or bushnell or, now, Anthony, but I have a bad feeling about the convergence of Mr Todd, the Hutches, and the dirty cops upon the starting-to-look-TOO-idyllic jones household

hey all Cooper has to remember is "don't die"

and the Hutches/Anthony seem neutralized as a threat, at least for now. Mr. Todd and the dirty cops (and Mr. C) otoh

I wonder if we are gonna get some kind of confrontation between Mr. C and Dougie that would be nuts

seems unlikely given that Mr. C's preoccupied with his coordinates/Jeffries but who knows

also any ideas on what exactly it is that Mr. C has "inside" that Jeffries wants? Garmonbozia? BOB? Or something else? Is it all about Mr. C/BOB not returning to the Black Lodge at the appointed time?

The hutches are still p dangerous no? I wouldn't mind them being swiftly dispatched as they're not my favourites tbh. Also it's no good coop just remembering not to die, he has a wife and kid and entire ecosystem of goofy bonhomie to protect!

Jeffries (or more likely the person pretending to be Jeffries on the phone) wants to "be with" Bob. Bob is what's inside Bad Coop. Jeffries (or whoever) wants to kill Bad Coop in order to get at Bob.

The identity of the person pretending to be Jeffries ('cause I don't think it's him) is one of the things I'm most interested in finding out. I think it'll be someone that's already appeared on screen (though maybe not this season). My best guess is Red.

Yeah I'd thought at first that BOB got removed from the doppelgänger in part 8 but that's my reading too now xp

If Windom Earle hadn't been so spectacularly destroyed, I'd suspect him.

One of the actors who hasn't yet appeared is my bet for faux-Jeffries, going by the voice. He was in one of the few pieces of entertainment I know that Lynch has seen over the past few years.

Speaking of the cast list, lynch needs to stop fucking with us. I'm all for testing an audience's patience within reason but it's been 13 hours, there are only five episodes left - WHERE THE FUCK ARE JUMPING MAN AND LOUIE BIRDSONG BUDWAY?

I keep half-expecting a scene like the one where Richard runs over a kid in the truck where all of the onlookers are guest actors, and that's their only cameo

Unlike the "Las Vegas is an alternate reality" thing, Audrey still being in a coma and her bickering with her husband being a dream actually seems pretty plausible to me.

I'm still manfully pushing through S2 (Josie has just been turned into a knob) and it strikes me that there are three women in The Return that exemplify the future Audrey envisions in S2 for herself.

When Audrey meets Denise, she is amazed that women get to be agents and you can see for a moment it's her heart's desire. And imagine if she could rescue Coop, like Coop rescued her. Tamara Preston.
Throughout S1 and early in S2 Audrey fantasises of the romantic life together with "my special agent". A home and children are in her future dream. Janey-E.
After the Civil War Ben, Audrey wants to be a serious woman running the Great Northern with a dad who is a good man, happy, and loves her. Beverley Paige.

"Do you want me to end story two?"
"What story is that, Charlie? The little girl who lives down the lane?"

you guys get some goofy ideas

although yr reading of Audrey's various fantasy futures seems correct

Where is 'the Art Life' streaming in the UK? It seems to be on the US Amazon, but I can't find it on the UK one...

"Do you want me to end story two?"

like, this is not the dialogue iirc? It was "Do you want me to end the story for you?"

xp

Seriously, guys, a discussion of the works of David Lynch is not the place for you to be spinning out with your wild theories.

I enjoyed the Art Life but tbh I think the Lynch One doc gives a better glimpse into his creative process

oh, it's on youtube:

Preorder of The Art Life is currently on sale on Amazong, btw. Like $16 for the br and cheaper on dvd.

I thought that at first but I've read many contradicting versions with the other. I haven't tried closed captions.

closed captions do not say "story two"

I concede then.
