Maybe they'll hire a contortionist who will stand behind them to "answer" the questions with cryptic body movements?
Fantastic work! You and everyone involved should be proud of your individual and collective accomplishments. Take a bow! (And please let us know if you're ever hired to work with Lynch again!)
Even though I'm a vinyl guy primarily, I couldn't wait and bought these on CD yesterday. Given that I'm still reeling from the finale and wondering, "Did that all really happen or was it a dream?," I had to have some tangible, physical proof of this show in my hands!
I a bit like that, when we sent to see him he had queue managers who told my friend not to ask for anything when they got their book signed. She ignored him and asked David Lynch to draw a star.
I love super-intricate, super-involved theories like this! Has any artist ever admitted to actually planning such a thing? Or should we assume that they're all concocted in the minds of fans? The body's not even a week old and look how thoroughly it's been disected already. Some days I miss the pre-Internet days when it took months and years for 'deeper meanings' and hidden subtexts of films to surface and spread and gain any kind of consensus. I can tell you, 2001: A Space Odyssey had a pretty healthy grace period before I started hearing explanations of what I'd actually seen. So what am I gonna watch on Sunday evening now? Are we all dropping Showtime, or is there anything else on there worth investigating?
I watched all 18 hours backwards and heard a bunch of satanic messages. Plus Paul McCartney seems to be dead.
If you play Dark of Side of Moon while watching episode 18, you wind up back in freshman year in college.
A multipurpose symbol with many meanings [S3E8] A multipurpose symbol with many meanings • r/twinpeaks http://i.imgur.com/5H2foSt.mp4 [S3E8] A multipurpose symbol with many meanings I think Mother, Jiào Dé (Judy), and the Experiment are all one in the same. I also don't think enough attention has been paid to this image from "Part 18". That looks like a "Bob bubble" around that man's stomach bursting out of his shirt. Maybe Carrie Page killed the guy to keep Bob at bay. Cooper may have changed the past to keep Laura alive but he didn't go back far enough to stop Bob from being created.
I think its just gas buiding up in the stomach of the corpse. Picked up soundtrack at Target for $10.99. Exclusive coaster! Now Im the coolest kid in town!
Is this track listing correct (see below) or what's really on the unnamed tracks? Eddie Vedder? Julie Cruise? ZZ Top? Ligeti? (Can't remember who else..). PS - Can't believe Green Onions is on there. Most infamous scene in Twin Peaks history..
Yes. Twin Peaks Main Theme (Edit) Shadow Missisippi Lark I Am I Love How You Love Me Snake Eyes Tarifa (Roadhouse Mix) She's Gone Away My Prayer No Stars Viva Las Vegas Just You Green Onions Wild West (Roadhouse Mix) Sharp Dressed Man (Remastered Version) Axolotl (Roadhouse Mix) Out Of Sand I've Been Loving You Too Long (To Stop Now)(Live Monterey Version) The World Spins
Watched this last night. There are maybe 1 or 2 little things that seemed to sort of match or comment on each other, but I just don't believe they were constructed or edited with any intention of being "meant to be watched in sync". Most of the time I was sitting here thinking, "Okay, what is supposed to be interesting about this?" I think a lot of what is posited in that article are just little coincidences. You could probably find this type of thing with any random 2 episodes of TPTR.
I easily would have booted ZZ Top in favor of "Heartbreaking", the Badalamenti piece on piano from part 11 that catches Dougie's attention. Not sure why the most un-twin peaks-like song ever is included. Also could boot "Just You", isnt this on some other TP soundtrack release? It must be.
I only watched it last night and to me it only got interesting when Coop/Carrie pull up to 'The House'. Just a bit of fun but nothing more.
That "Battling Bud" poster was a great exercise in verisimilitude. A lot of these images in film and TV look fakey to the untrained eye. Contrast the Chronicle headline in "Citizen Kane" ("Candidate Kane Found in Love Nest with 'Singer'") with the tossed-off newspapers in "Superman: The Movie" ("Caped Wonder Stuns City," with a photo that looks ripped out of George Reeves' scrapbook) and "The Godfather Part III" (where you could even read the dummy text in the theater). This not only looked totally authentic. It also moved the show along in a couple of significant ways. It made you wonder about Bushnell Mullins and gave him some depth that plot and dialogue alone couldn't: What kind of fighter was he? What motivated him to put that poster there? What message is he trying to send to the person sitting across from his desk? What does the poster say about how he sees himself? Its vintage quality also gently reinforced the "New Frontier" vibe of the show's Vegas scenes: the Mitchum brothers, Duncan Todd, the city police, the FBI field office. I know the barest little about film, and nothing at all about graphic design. But from the lay viewer's perspective, that was a job well, well done.
With the talk about the putative synching of Ep17 and Ep18, it's worth a callback to this post from way upthread. On the one hand, it seems undeniably true that Lynch made action in a later episode coincide with events in an earlier one. On the other hand, in this earlier case he did it quite differently; Lynch provided a "key" or "marker" by recycling the earlier episode's footage and reusing it in the later one, so we weren't left completely clueless as to what he was doing.
True. While it's interesting that Naido makes a slashing motion at the same time the "Experiment" destroys the young couple on the couch. What significance are we to now draw from that? Especially knowing who Naido really is. I guess the only reason Lynch recycled that footage there was to show us that Cooper could have potentially been ''rescued''. The whole box thing was really interesting at the beginning of the show, but like so many things in TPTR it kind of went nowhere. We got to see the "Experiment" in action, but then never again. Where did the "Experiment" go after this, what did she/it do afterwards? Who knows?
