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

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

jacque renault turned out to be the blank fart
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

just recorded one of my fave Lodgers with a new guest who is a v prolific twin peaks tweeter...

Sweet, I've been getting caught up with all your episodes from the FWWM one onward. You and Kate are doing a fantastic job!

aw thanks Moodles!

We've been enjoying doing it but I think we'll both be a little relieved when it's over, it's a LOT of work lol

many of the musings and theories have irked me but I like all the thoughts on this:

particularly this one: " Andy will become the new Fireman, Lucy will take over as Señorita Dido and they’ll have lovely beige chairs to sit in for all eternity."

:-) ALL.

<3 all

Would like to check these out. Link?

https://www.goombastomp.com/lodgers-twin-peaks-podcast-episode-one-pilot/

Or just search in whatever app you use. I look forward to this show every week and am trying to figure out who this next guest is

so this is almost certainly just weird editing rather than deliberate cryptic misdirection, but in the scene with diane in the hotel room, every shot with albert & tammy has them about a shoulder width apart, except when albert pulls his gun, where her chair has been moved much further left, you can only just see its edge and she is completely off screen.

And what of the choice to frame Cole as if he were alone in the hotel room until Diane finally entered?

yeah that felt totally deliberate.

also plz remind me what was the track when diane was walking there? the knife? fever ray?

Lynch's remix of "American woman", also heard during bad coop's first appearance

yup

Such a great cue

It's a slowed down version of "American Woman" performed by Muddy Magnolias.

thx. pretty intense, guess the vox made me think of the knife/fr.

" her chair has been moved much further left, you can only just see its edge and she is completely off screen."

yeah I saw this same scene slowed down and she's completely gone. I think it's just a mistake. and I think a fair number of 'weird' things people have indicated are also probalby mistakes, which is kind of disappointing, because you'd think they'd know people would pour over this show frame by frame now and not let those things happen.

A bit OT, but I just realized that the deductive technique that Agent Cooper demonstrates to the sheriff's department in ep 3 of the original run involves the same activity that leads Jeffrey Beaumont to discover the ear.

which is kind of disappointing, because you'd think they'd know people would pour over this show frame by frame now and not let those things happen.

Oh I'd say they know it very well

Anyone decode those flashing airplane windows yet?

DRINK YOUR OVALTINE

maybe chrysta bell just couldn't whip her piece out fast enough.

One thing I really loved about Part 16 was that first shot of Gordon in the hotel room, not saying anything, just staring at all the equipment looking completely mystified, all while there's this low drone & hum of electricity from all of it. he's just looking at all of it completely perplexed, then it cuts to something else. hilarious

Lurky lurker here—just wanted to thank you all for making these last few months so great.

People are posting docs on the other Lynch thread but I wanted to put this here because it seems to be from 89, i.e. just pre-TP. The style is kind of unbearable but there's some fascinating parts, like Lynch and Jack Nance revisiting the arch from the opening of Eraserhead, and around 21 mins in where he talks about entering into darkness—but only halfway—that can't help but conjure up the Lodge in my mind.
Apologies if it's been posted before, and my posting now, which I'll probably balls up
