Twin Peaks: The Return (2017)...*Contains Spoilers!!*

He's one of those less is more actors. Great eyes.

 

His reactions to Michael Cera doing his Wally thing were pure magic.

 

I just saw this and thought it belonged here. "Born of a sycamore seed that was taken on a voyage to the moon, Philadelphia's moon tree......"

The "skinny and scraggly" tree is at 6th and Walnut, just a short walk from the Philadelphia FBI office at 6th and Arch.



What’s happening to Philly’s moon trees? One died, and now its clone is dying, too.

 

TV Shows On DVD

COMING ON 10/15:

* Twin Peaks - The Complete Television Collection (Paramount)
DVD; Blu-ray
EXTRAS: A wealth of intriguing, behind-the-scenes special features
-----For the first time, in one collection, the complete television phenomenon TWIN PEAKS: All 29 episodes of the original groundbreaking seasons; All 18 parts of the "Limited Event Series" - the return to Twin Peaks - that captivated audiences 25 years later, written by the series co-creators and entirely directed by David Lynch. So grab a cup of coffee, a slice of cherry pie, and experience the legendary mystery...again and again!

 

Mister Jackpots!

 

Wonder if there will be any new extras.

 

I wonder if it will even include all the old extras? Some of the bonus features on the Complete Mystery set included FWWM stuff. And there's just no way it'll include the commentary tracks from the Artisan season one set, right?

 

Man, I hope not!

 

I think including Season 3 without Fire Walk With Me would be a huge disservice to any potential new fans picking up this set.
Season 3 was confusing enough as-is. Without Fire Walk With Me, you don't stand a chance.

 

There is a fan edit out there of FWWM that I watched in the run-up to S3. The fan edit incorporates the various deleted scenes from a prior release - it plays more like 3 episodes of the series and is far more coherent than the theatrical version of the film. Highly recommend seeking it out.

 

Unless you don’t want your Lynch “coherent”.

I love FWWM as it is. In fact I just got to see it on the big screen again after many years. It was still impactful and intense.

The Missing Pieces are excellent on their own, and doesn’t really add too much to the proceedings (though I like the scene with Annie in the hospital... still not essential).

 

A “fan edit” of Lynch’s work really does a disservice to it, IMHO. If you want a more complete picture of Fire Walk With Me, watch it through and then watch The Missing Pieces separately. This probably should not be done in one sitting due to length!

 

It adds “everything else” that fans were clamoring for years—although if “coherence” is the end result fans were clamoring for, it doesn’t really clarify much.

 

As much as it's great to see the scenes in context, it ruins the pacing of the film. The missing pieces use of music and editing of scenes is closer to The Return than it is the original film. The only thing I'd change about the original film is the editing on the David Bowie scene.

 

Yeah, I go back and forth on that one. It really obscures a lot of the background information, as you can barely hear what Bowie is saying. But as a piece of cinema... it's riveting! I've seen the movie countless times, but when I saw it on the big screen last week, that scene really packed a punch. The entire movie, as intended, is gut-wrenching.

 

I just wanted to pick up Michael Cera’s character and throw him into a wall.

 

Well, it has been done before. The first DVD set of Season 1 did not include the pilot! (At least in the U.S., it didn’t.)

 

Not punch him with your rubber Hulk hand?

Regarding the Criterion Collection Blu-ray of Fire Walk With Me, is it the same transfer as contained in the Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery box, and does it have the same extras?

 

There was a very nice set of the original show plus Fire Walk with Me... and a very nice set of the new series... what is the reason for this to exist?

 

The Entire Mystery is OOP, people had issues with certain episodes having out of synch audio, and criterion have a release of FWWM that's a better restoration.

 

How is Criterion’s Fire Walk With Me a better restoration? Are there any published details regarding the transfer?

 

The Criterion uses the same 2014 transfer supervised by Lynch as the Entire Mystery box set. Besides two interviews with Sheryl Lee and Angelo Badalamenti it is the exact same BR.

I hadn't seen this before, here's a link to the Twin Peaks page at buf.com. They did many of the visual effects for the Limited Event Series. Lots of pics, and some production notes.
