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

Yeah according to Laurie he was like "that fumio guy is weird" on set

sad lol

I take "one and the same" literally fwiw

but the Giant had already appeared to Cooper as the Giant, why would he just appear in a different form for no apparent reason?

who knows?

I mean if they are separate lodge guys, what is the function of the first?

You need to shift your perspective from the anthropocentric to the dugpacentric, m'man. (toooooooke)

Waiter as Giant's tulpa maybe? The Waiter seems to actually exist in the real world, other people see him, he brings coffee, he shows up at the roadhouse etc., whereas the Giant only appears to Cooper in dreams/visions. idk

I love this show and I love this thread but I may need to check out just because I'm in denial about it ever being over.

I have to wait til Monday to watch the finale :(

Same dude, same

tuesday ;_;

I'll be watching the 1am GMT simulcast 😎

What I love about TP, and ilx's thread and participants specifically, is there is (almost) no mouthing off someone who has an out-there theory

i'm delighted that my reductio ad absurdum candie = laura 'theory' managed to catch on a bit

My workout routine is to dance intensely to fairly lengthy dance playlists two or three times a week, and my last handful of late Sunday afternoon dance playlists always involved some degree of preparation/vibe-setting for the evening's TP:TR part -- music from the series (old and new), songs we've heard at the Roadhouse, songs I'd wanna hear at the Roadhouse, music inspired by Twin Peaks, music reminding me of Twin Peaks, other Lynch-related stuff...
I'm so hyped up for Sunday that I have prepared an unprecedented cumulative 4 1/2 hour dance playlist, it's gonna be ridiculous and intense and many calories will be, to use a term employed earlier by wins, "Earle'd" and it will all be worth it I think. At least I hope I'll find the time for it!

this is so awesome

That might be my favorite moment in the entire series. xpost

LA weirdo people should know that the man playing piano in that scene is COUNT SMOKULA!

This isn't quite true though - the waiter turned out to be the Giant! And that Japanese dude turned out to be Catherine!

Vivian Niles turned out to be MT Wentz

The man from another place turned out to be MIKE's arm

windom earle turned out to be poorly thought out.

this is so awesome

Aw! Thanks. It looks like everything that will be in that playlist is available on Spotify, so I reckon I'll post a link in here...

lol otm, people complain about the James subplot in season 2, but fuck man Windom Earle was so lame. So psyched he hasn't showed up in the new one.

no way

Anyone else think the Diane bar crisis was a deliberate nod to The Shining? Her face-down eye rolling looked exactly like Danny having his freakout, then long reverse dolly shots down corridors culminating in a close up of the door, handle and number of Gordon's / Albert's / Tammy's room.

No.

I just want it to be mentioned that Lynch found a way to make a smiley face emoticon incredibly unnerving. That second shot of her phone with the zoom followed by her reaction was absolutely chilling filmmaking.

jacque renault turned out to be the blank fart
donna turned out to be the muffin

maybe laura was the muffin, wtf do I know

The evolution of the muffin

Laura is the turkey, and she sounds like this... (gobble gobble)

donna turned out to be the muffin

We regret the error

i don't know if we even want to get into this fuckery but

note the punctuation of the message changes too

i honestly wonder if they were using a real phone and the discrepancy is just due to filming times, but that would be pretty sloppy

OMG, A MISSED PERIOD, DOPPELDOOPER MUST BE PREGNANT

Huh. I'd lean towards sloppiness - or, more generously, a trademark lynch "leave it in" whim as we all know he's wont to have - but he made such a point of showing the NOT DELIVERED message close up so that inclines me more to assume it's intentional. Probably just for textural weirdness around technology & time rather than anything plotty like multiple messages or whatever

isn't it really hard to film phones/computers/screens? i assumed they put all that info in in post

there have been multiple irregularities between texts sent and texts received in this iirc

WELL THERE YA GO!

i completely forgot that richard chamberlain was on this

so I am rewatching the original series, which had the conventional 1990 TV ratio of 4:3. This one has 16:9, obviously. (FWWM was 1.85:1.) Is the difference particularly striking if you've watched both series this year?

Not for me, although I watched seasons 1 & 2 on my laptop, saw FWWM in a theater, and have been watching The Return on a TV. Rewatched the s2 finale on the TV and was bummed out by the streaming quality. Other than that it was fine.

Morbs, the bigger difference for me is the sharp, naturalistic quality of the DV in The Return vs. the rich, deep colors and careful framing of film in the original.

it's especially apparent whenever he uses scenes from the original or fwwm

it gives this feeling of distance and myth to the original parts, which is excellent

There was an explicit line "he could be in a come for years!" that was a beautiful nosetug for ppl moaning about vacant cool

Cooper is sending a new Dougie back to Vegas to replace him. This was ridiculously explicit.

Handwringing about this would seem to overlook a few things- the characters affected react to whatever Dougie/coop they have with total acceptance and equanimity (Janey-E was pretty much changing his nappies ffs), Dougie was never actually real, it's not a case of coop abandoning nor manipulating so much as avoiding the scenario of getting into "actually you're married to/begotten of a copy of my doppleganger, but he's disappeared into the black lodge, never mind what that is, and technically the guy you've been living with more recently was not me either, but my uninhabited body sprinkled with lucky dust, yes I seem to have been aware of this throughout but was in all fairness essentially vegetative so yknow while the sex probably was without consent that works both ways, I'll say nothing if you say nothing, ok? also I've left you significantly better off financially, the previous incumbent seems like a bad deal and I think the next one will likely be an improvement on that but let's be real here you've just spent the past few weeks moony-eyed over what was essentially a moneybox with an echo function so don't come the abandoned widow with me love somehow I think you'll cope" which seems a kindness imo

Though the parallel and contrast between how dopplecooper meets his son and deals with him vs dales first meeting and acknowledgement of sonny jim was nicely played

Oh yeah I'm all caught up now. Hi everyone.

I skipped most of that post since I saw you already agreed with me, but: otm
