/What’s your take on the importance of continuity?

DUNHAM: To me, there’s no question. It doesn’t matter./

LOL there ya go "the diner patrons dont match IT MUST MEAN SOMETHING" fanboys


Man...

I love this thread, but damn could it get smug with this kinda shit.

I don’t think continuity not mattering is the same thing as someone busting in and asking for character names that only exist in a later scene, referenced from a scattered off-center reality

XP idk yes and then yknow don't maybe run with it as fact for six weeks yknow

Hey guys I'm finally getting to watch this again. I'm at episode 11 and enjoying going back through the thread, especially the swing from the Sun/Mon reactions, theories, and interesting things that I missed to the midweek descent into arguments about backwards blinking or ratings or whatever. ;)

I'm v much looking forward to getting the set and just having it on in the apartment for passive + active viewing.

xps Dunham's comment doesn't prove much either way re that particular example - the diner population could change the same way the hotel changes in the finale (deliberate continuity fuckery) or it could just be expediency due to a tight shoot (incidental disregard for continuity). Either seems likely enough to me. In any case it's there, no matter the intent, and I think there's plenty of reason to think there's significance to be found in the pieces that play under the credits (particularly this one, the first reference to s4 protagonist Billy!).

As far as IT MUST MEAN SOMETHING, where I personally would get frustrated with the plane windows/2003 strain of Reddit sleuthing it was down to that thing where like, if your way of extracting meaning from lynch film never allows for the possibility that an unusual editing choice might be made solely or chiefly for its affective quality (or even, you know, just for the sake of an unusual editing choice) then you're - let's not say missing the point, but shutting yourself off from a huge amount of what's valuable about his approach

what is "2003"? did people think this season took place in 2003

flappy bird, Monday, 23 October 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link

? It was explicitly set in 2003

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Monday, 23 October 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link

Yeah there was an apparently (inexplicably) popular theory for about half of the season's run that the Las Vegas parts were taking place in 2003. I believe it originated on Reddit and was based afaict on no evidence (well, there was a number 3 in one frame, and the 1st season of westworld, and that's it). I like to use it as shorthand for everything I find facepalmy about that kind of thing although more fairly it's just the 2017 equivalent of SUICIDE 3%

It's a damning indictment of Westworld that the idiotic reddit theory about it turned out to be true

Number None, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:48 (six years ago) link

was the theory that they were all robots

Οὖτις, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:52 (six years ago) link

lmao chaki that Stern clip is great, sounds circa 2006/7

flappy bird, Monday, 23 October 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link

the WW theory was that character X was a younger character Y and there were two timeframes being shown

flappy bird, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 16:40 (six years ago) link

Fucks sake

Did u see the apps they were clearly iPhone 2s

Gary Synaesthesia (darraghmac), Tuesday, 24 October 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link

they used iphones in the first two seasons too, hardly an indicator that it's set in 2017

lol

mh, Tuesday, 24 October 2017 17:09 (six years ago) link

I never used to make any assumptions about the timeframe when guests would ask Louie 'Birdsong' Budway for the Great Northern wifi password, don't know why I'd start now.

Damn. 5+ hours of BTS footage shot by The Art Life director. So pumped for this.

Kiiiiinda was hoping Lynch had directed the ten 30 min films, but stoked nonetheless

Le Bateau Ivre, Thursday, 26 October 2017 14:51 (six years ago) link

Hope we'll get to see how the continuity goof where they accidentally replaced every extra who was in that diner scene happened.

Chris L, Thursday, 26 October 2017 14:56 (six years ago) link

yes i'm sure they'll explain every single loophole and loose plot point in the bonus features

lynch stares at the camera and painstakingly lays out precisely where audrey woke up

The first couple of chapters of frost's book are available to preview on iBooks. Not great - it reads like fanfic, clumsy and poorly written. It looks like he's abandoned the conceit of it being an assortment of primary sources, with the whole thing instead being a single report by Tammy Preston summing up her findings after investigating the background/activities/fate of various characters. So if you look at the TOC there's a chapter on Shelley Johnson, one on Windom Earle, Annie Blackburn, and so on. Basically filling in the gaps between s2 & s3.

There are chapters at the end for Ray Monroe & Judy, intriguingly/worryingly.

In that preview of the book, Albert uses the phrase "trigger warning" in 1989.

bwahaha

Simon H., Thursday, 26 October 2017 15:28 (six years ago) link

Also wonders why they don't set up a "craft brewery" in twin peaks, it's kinda embarrassing

The Suite Life of Jack and Wendy (wins), Thursday, 26 October 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link

I hope it details Cooper's ride back to Washington with faux-Laura including his stop at Starbucks

mh, Thursday, 26 October 2017 15:41 (six years ago) link

Man, Judy sucked all of the fun out of this show.

Evan R, Thursday, 26 October 2017 16:29 (six years ago) link

That is essentially Judy's role.

Chris L, Thursday, 26 October 2017 17:02 (six years ago) link

Heads up to any Lodgers listeners, there will be one final episode after we get our grubby little paws on the DVD extras. If all goes well we have some pretty nifty guests lined up. (Kate is freaking out at this very moment.)

Simon H., Saturday, 28 October 2017 17:15 (six years ago) link

Please let it be Dick Tremayne.

Intriguing!

Was just looking at these (amazing) pictures...

Scroll down a few & check out 14th Street!
Funny that he has plenty of stories for the characters in the other photos but doesn't seem to realize it's Michael J Anderson. And I know he doesn't really belong on here since this is the S3 thread but seems to be the rolling thread for now too... Maybe I should shop-in a hissing electric tree, make things right

I'd be wary of taking any of Frost's remarks as interpretive keys, of course.

Yeah if season 4 is a Wally Brando spinoff that would be beautiful
