Did anybody else punch the air when...

  Reveal hidden contents

Dougie/Cooper fought off Ike The Spike?

 

 

Yes!!! I have a theory about that (and others as well). What really made me punch my fist was Jaques-Michael called The Roadhouse as The Roadhouse. Got sick and tired of seeing newbies and lazy reviewers calling it The Bang Bang Bar. That was never the name of it.

Anyways my theory

John Oswald - Plexure

I tend to spend any extra money on film and/or music equipment.

Clapperboard

Crow feathers for a prop seance board I'm making (yes the feathers are fake but that is because you cannot buy or sell real crow feathers)

Fake blood (I made using a base of corn syrup, clear laundry detergent, and food coloring)

The Bloody Video Horror That Made Me Puke On My Aunt Gertrude

With a title like that you can tell that this is high quality cinema

Monster Magnet - Nod Scene (The Resin Scrapers)

Accept - Fast As A Shark

T-Ride  - Zombies From Hell (they were like if Faith No More had Joe Satriani on guitar and vocal stlyings of Queen)

That one armed guy cracks me up. When he started telling Dale "don't die" I just started laughing. That red room makes me crazy. I hate that floor.

I think Dale is remembering who he used to be. Wonder if it'll happen before the season ending?

Love Naomi Watts telling those loan sharks off. lol That was priceless.

That junkie woman so annoys me.

I wonder what was in that letter that the Native American police man found. I love how they just go through the files without finding what's missing. lol Too much.

Guess I'm getting to realize this show isn't that bad after all. you just have to take it for what it is and enjoy the ride.

I think it's the zig-zag pattern on the red room floor makes people feel nauseous.

Hopefully Agent Cooper will be re-Cooperated by then if you catch my drift.

Naomi Watts finally was able to get something she can chew on except being pissed off housewife and leading DougieCoop around.

The junkie woman and the kid are still mysterious. She yells 1-1-9 which obviously backwards in 9-1-1. I have a theory that the kid and her are different versions of The Chalfonts/The Tremonds from the original series and Fire Walk With Me.

The letters that Hawk found look like the missing pages of Laura's diary. There is a screenshot where the name Annie was written on one of the pages. In Fire Walk WIth Me Annie tells Laura "My name is Annie. I've been with Laura and Dale. The good Dale is trapped and he can't leave. Write it in your diary" Annie was Dale's love interest in the original series. The whole reason why this clue was found was because it had to be found by using instinct, moreso than traditional logical methods, such as case files.

I find it funny that people who knew the real Dougie haven't realized that this guy is not him. lol

Why was that dark haired woman killed? Was she involved with Dougie? That little guy was just crazy.

Was that Laura Dern under that blonde wig in the bar? Was she in the original series and who is she.

The thing that we can assume from Dougie is that his behavior now isn't so out of the ordinary. There's been several people saying "well Dougie is just having one of his episodes"

I have no idea why that woman was killed by mini Vin Diesel. She did send people to kill Dougie but the reason remain unclear.

Yeah that was Laura Dern. She is playing Diane, a character who Dale always talked to in his tape recorder, but we (the audience) never got to see. For a long time the theory was that Diane only existed in Cooper's head but I never bought into that because in one episode he asked her to send him some silicone earplugs because there were guests (Icelanders who wanted to help develop Ghostwood Estates) staying at The Great Northern. They always made a ruckus when Dale was trying to sleep.  Then in the next episode or two Dale recieves his earplugs

And The Titles For Twin Peaks Parts 9 Through 12 Are…

http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/news/twin-peaks-part-9-10-11-12-titles/

Showtime has added new captions for four upcoming parts of the new Twin Peaks.

• Part 9: This is the chair. (July 9, 2017)
• Part 10: Laura is the one. (July 16, 2017)
• Part 11: There’s fire where you are going. (July 23, 2017)
• Part 12: Let’s rock. (July 30, 2017)

So far, all of the titles have been lines spoken by characters in the show.

• Part 1: My log has a message for you. (Margaret Lanterman aka the Log Lady)
• Part 2: The stars turn and a time presents itself. (Margaret Lanterman aka the Log Lady)
• Part 3: Call for help. (Dale Cooper)
• Part 4: …brings back some memories. (Bobby Briggs)
• Part 5: Case files. (Dale Cooper)

The new guy who was smoking in the Bang Bang bar is going to be trouble. I knew that girl was in trouble the minute she asked him for a light. What the hell was she thinking? It's not always a good thing flirting with a bad boy!

This week's Rolling Stone (which I get in the mail never ordered it) had a story on Twin Peaks and it explained the two Coopers, so I'm getting it now. lol

The article mentioned how in the new TP, Laura Palmer told Agent Cooper she would see him in 25 years and how it's happened.

Also the log woman is now deceased since filming this show in 2015.

I think I will stick with it to the end and just go with the flow! lol

That's the spirit I know I had to go with the flow back in the old series too. There just wasn't any internet to discuss it with others and none of my friends, back in high school, watched it.

Have you gotten to episode 6 yet?

Alot of the criticism towards it now is all tied up in the Dougie Jones/Cooper plotline. People are complaining it's taking too long for Cooper to regain his senses. All I can say is that Cooper has spent 25 YEARS in a hellish, extra-dimensional, place of nightmares so of course he's gonna be just a wee bit truamatized LOL.

I also think that Rancho Rosa takes place in the past. 2003 to be exact. Slot machines were still spitting out coins, and not tickets, like they do now. Also notice how many For Sale signs there are and how deserted the place is. I think it ties in with the housing crisis bubble that happened in 2003. I could be off base but I'm just speculating.

I'm posting this here because I think ALOT of his Mayor West character was kinda based off of this. It was a TV pilot he did but it is brilliant. It was called Lookwell. A washed-up TV action hero Ty Lookwell, (played by Adam West) —who at the peak of his career was ceremonially deputized by local law enforcement—falsely believes he can solve crimes in real life.

SOPHIE – VYZEE (wonky microtonal bumblegum bass)

Semargl for sure. They went from a straight ahead black metal band into what they call "Satanic Pop Metal"

And I know I'll probably get lambasted for this comment but of course Suicide Squad is lame. It's a comic book movie aimed at 14 year old boys and man-children for Pete's sake. I think comic books and comic adaptations are shit, whether they are animated or live-action.

@dontdamnmeuyi2015 is this the movie you were talking about you couldn't think of the name?

Suicide Club

I've seen a lot of Asian horror movies, can't remember their names, but they were all very good. One was about a school where some of the students committed suicide and it turned out that the girl you thought was good was the mean one.

Are you thinking of Suicide Club?

There's also Fire Walk With Me that Twin Peaks movie?

and a big one was Wild at Heart. 

Straight Story leave til last I guess. 

Inland is just dark, kind of like Lost highway and Mulholland without the popcorn. 

I think he also did Elephant Man and Dune. Which to don't have those Lynch Twin peaks type characters. I sort of file them with Eraserhead. It's the Wild at Heart style that I enjoyed. The mix. Inland was almost too dark and serious, but maybe I'm ready to go back to his early stuff. 

Inland Empire was just one rabbit hole leading into another rabbit hole. Plus there are actually rabbits in it LOL. I also think Eraserhead is just like Inland Empire, just way way longer. Fun fact: Some of Inland Empire was originally shot as a series of experimental videos for Lynch's website and that there was no script already set in place.

Blue Velvet and Wild At Heart are great films. There might have been instances of surrealism but they are very linear.

The Straight Story is very powerful.

Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive are both awesome but Lost Highway feels dated but only because of the soundtrack. Both movies are pretty much about the loss of idenity and what people do to convince themselves that they are victims.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me goes without saying but if you're trying to get into the TV series then don't watch the film version first because it is completely spoilery.

Yes he did The Elephant Man and Dune. Elephant Man is a complete period piece.

Dune? I never did feel that one.

If you really want to sink your teeth into Lynch, check out his short films like The Alphatbet and The Grandmother. And if you can stomach it then watch DumbLand. It is like bad Flash animation but the humor is really friggin odd and absurd.

Yeah, you said it correctly. You have to just let the show take you where ever the hell it takes you. lol

I did watch part 5 last night and I thought it was pretty good. I loved seeing Peggy Lipton again. She's still so pretty.

And Don Murray. I thought he was dead. Candy clark. It's nice to see older actors getting work again.

The whole sheriff looking for something that's missing is like WTF? How long will they be there at that table looking for something that is missing? lol

Sometimes, I wonder why Lynch does scenes that just go on and on. Like the characters stare at stuff for along time and then nothing? Very strange.

The car blowing up had me cracking up. It's like you knew it was going to happen and how stupid were those guys.

Good to see that you haven't given up yet LOL

You've pointed out about how nice it is that older actors being able to work again. In the original series they did the same thing. Peggy Lipton, Piper Laurie, Russ Tamblyn, etc were all pretty much retired.

Now the reason behind all of the dead air in some of the performances is to build tension. Whether it is for something scary, dramatic, or humorous. That's the main reason why the scenes just seem to go on and on with them staring at stuff. But so far these are played out in a humorous tone. That's a part of the charm in this version and in the original is that there are no snappy one-liners needed like the average sitcom has been doing. It's all done in a realistic way without having to worry about comedy beats.

What I have always loved about Twin Peaks is that it allows you to think and to dream. It allows me to come up with theories because nothing is ever spelled out in a typical fashion. All good art is reciprocal.

We are only 5 episodes/parts in and it has done nothing but blow my mind.

Black Sheep - The Choice Is Yours

classic shit

Okay thanks for one answer. lol

I'm going to try to start the tv series. If I get some idea of what the show is about it might help me watching the new show.

Yeah, I know Lynch has always been a different kind of director.

No sweat LOL. I know of the frustration. Just remember that the series, the film, and this new season are all different animals. For Lynch it is all about getting an image and directing/writing from an, emotional place, I guess I'd call it. I mean the whole Red Room sequence from the original series popped into his mind when he put his hands on the roof of a hot car. Just that quick. No descernable context. Also if you REALLY wanna figure out what the whole White/Black Lodge is about then read up on theosophy cause that's where that shit come from. Yeah I'm a TP/Lynch geek LOL

Okay watched part 4.  I know I will have to watch the tv series, because I have no idea what the hell is going on.

There seems to be many different Coopers. not sure why?

When the show goes into that red room, it makes my head hurt.

I know David Lynch has always been out there, but it's like he's doing some storyline and then goes back to whatever.

He's reminding me of Rob Zombie's movies and that's not a good thing.

I think if I can find time to watch at least season 1 I might have an idea of what's going on or not? lol

Yeah ya gotta start with the series first. There is no way to come into this version cold and be able to follow it. As far as just watching the 1st season to understand the Red Room and the Lodges then you'll end up very short because most of that is explored in season 2 and in the movie "Fire Walk With Me"

With Lynch you're not going to get all of the answers and he will not explain his films because it takes away what the film means to the veiwer. I can respect that because not everything in a story or a film needs a Chekhov's Gun.

Lynch has also said that the only two parts of Twin Peaks that he watched before co-writing the new series was the pilot episode and Fire Walk With Me.

And as far as to why there are 3 Coopers was because the good one was trapped in The Black Lodge and escaped through using the manufactured Cooper (aka Dougie) body to get evil Cooper and bring him back to the lodge. Also, in the film, it explains that the lodge spirits travel using electricity.

It feels new, we get to see the journey of Cooper in the black lodge which is what I wanted to see and, it's still Twin Peaks. It's darker and a lot more esoteric. I'm going to re-watch the four episodes. I think I'm enjoying this season a lot more than season two. This is great and quite modern.

 

It's completely new but has some familiarity, or at least that is what it will build up to. The thing with season 2 was that the writers were scrambling for story ideas because they never thought they would even get a season 2. Once you get past the cartoonish sub-plots (Little Nicky, Ben Horne Civil War, the pine weasel stuff) there is the push and pull between Cooper and Windom Earle at it's center. I really think season 2 gets a bad rep. Even Lynch says he stopped watching it during that time. I think he's doing a bit of revisionist history because he and Mark Frost were executive producers. This means that every script had to have his and Frost's A-OK. So if he thought these were stinkers he could have done something with the scripts. Also really sick and tired of the "well he was working on Wild At Heart so that's why he was less involved in season 2". That is total bullshit. Both the 1st season and Wild At Heart were being edited at the same time.

Well, I watched the part 3 last night and still have no idea what the hell is going on, yet I can't stop watching it. Maybe over the summer I will try to watch the tv series.

I watch tons of shows and most of coming back for the summer, plus new shows that look good, so I don't know when I can fit it in.

Anyway, it's just like nothing I've ever seen before!

Yes, do so. You can't really WATCH Twin Peaks. You have to let it envelop you into that world. Of course there are differences between the 90-91 season and this new one but neither one can be watched or explained in a Cliff Notes version. It is a continuing story for a reason

never watched the original, vaguely recall it involved pie somehow. was curious about the remake but still don't think i will watch. BTW Madchen was born in Sparks,NV which is basically Reno though i doubt she visits anymore much less has a house unless her parents still live here

Do yourself a favor and do so. There were only 30 episodes and a film. Never knew Madchen was from Nevada but maybe it makes sense that there are some scenes from Vegas

Plus Madchen's duaghter is a major hottie. Would smash

Micheal Cera's part was the worst thing so far. Didn't care for that at all. Felt very shoehorned.

Well it was just a way of seeing who Andy's and Lucy's kid was is all. As far as I know he's only in that one scene for the entire show. What I didn't like about it was that it dragged on for too long.

I saw someone on twitter that summed it up perfectly by saying The first 2 seasons were Lynch conforming to TV. This season is TV conforming to Lynch.

So while I can see if you are more of a Twin Peaks only but not as in to Lynch's other stuff kind of person, you might not be as in to it.

I feel anyone who loves Lynch will love this. It is him in all his ultra strange glory.

Exactly. When David Nivens (CEO of Showtime) said that this new season/series of Twin Peaks was the "pure heroin version of Lynch" he wasn't bullshitting
