Squee Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hmmm... after hours and hours of thinking I've decided not to write an enormous post because I wouldn't know where to start when it comes to Twin Peaks. I just felt that WATMM needed a topic about Twin Peaks since it's a series we've all grown up (at least I think most of us grew up with Twin Peaks). Everyone knows the theme melody, everyone knows Audrey's Theme, the Man from Another Place, Killer Bob (fuck me, he still scares the shit out me...and the same goes for Sarah Palmer)... it's legendary.

Squee Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 this has to be at least the 10,000th TP thread on this forum Seriously? I don't think I've ever seen one dedicated to Twin Peaks alone. I've just finished watching the series for the third time (I took today off from school to watch the last 3 episodes), and I must say that it's a love hate relationship watching it. There are so many things about the series which are absolutely horrible. I mean, Andy (the constantly crying cop), the whole story about Lucy, Andy and Dick Tremayne, James running off, John Justice Wheeler and so on. There is so much SHIT in this series that it sometimes gets unbearable to watch. Then on the other hand it's dark, brutal, fun, and back then it was innovative and it's impossible to stop watching it until you get to that very final episode where Lynch gets back in the director's chair and fucks up everything - in a good way.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 this has to be at least the 10,000th TP thread on this forum Are you saying there should be a Twin Peaks subforum? I love TP with all my heart, the only character I don't care for (especially his scenes in the 2nd season) is James Hurley. But then season 2 also brought the David Lynch cameos which can make up for at least 10 James Hurleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 i tried to get into the show recently but couldnt, i remember liking it a lot better when i was a kid mostly because it was really scary to me and my parents watched it and it was one of the only shows or movies they couldnt turn to me and explain what the hell was happening it. I REALLY LOVE the opening to the twin peaks fire walk with me film, i think i also like the laura palmer prequal story as well but i find the beginning to this film extremely pleasurable and some of David Lynch's best comedy work (intentionally or not) the whole part with the women with the red dress giving the codes, chris issack, the david lynch cameo 'I JUST CHECKED THE FRONT DESK HE WAS NEVER HERE' and Kyle MacLachlan aka Dale cooper sees a clone of himself on a surveillance camera, it makes me simultaneously laugh out loud with shivers up my spine. I think it's far from his best film, but that 2 minute seen of him walking into the police station is by far one of Lynch's most memorable works on film next to the 'call your house, i'm there right now' creepy as fuck part from Lost Highway.

Braintree Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Great series. Too bad it was canceled prematurely. I watched "Good Night and Good Luck" recently and was like "HOLY SHIT! THAT'S LELAND!" when he came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the thing is, he hasn't. It's the doppelgänger thing - the idea of two sides to everyone. He's really up against himself. People were really upset wthat it ended with an evil Cooper who'd been taken over by Bob. But that's NOT the ending. That's the ending that people were stuck with. That's just the ending of the second season. If it had continued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alzado Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 FWWM is fucking great. i love TP so much. the gold edition box set is the only way to watch it. james hurley was a good character. the whole super nadine story line was pretty stupid. i also never really cared for the ben horne going crazy thread. the second season had a lot of low points. but the coouple of episodes leading up to the reveal of leland as bob were as good as any other. sadly, the show seemed to be regaining strength when it was canceled.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Does anybody have the European release of the first season boxset? I remember watching an interview with Miguel Ferrer where he talks about some experiences he had with using hallucinogenics with some tribe that lives near the Amazon. He says he goes back there every year or so and just spends a week naked, covered in mud under the influence of ibogaine or something. I clearly remember seeing this but I can't find it anywhere anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squee Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 A true WHAT THE FUCK-moment from Twin Peaks. And probably my favorite. And you're right about Nadine and Benjamin Horne. It didn't really go anywhere and it didn't do anything good for the overall story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesomeperson Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 One of my favorite scene is when they've found the Log Lady cabin and the most atmospheric music is playing inside, such a powerful scene that you don't see anywhere else, really immerse, the music was used really well and one of the reason the show worked so well.
