He wrote some really enjoyable and intelligent genre fiction outside of this show/world. Before I Wake, a psychological cop thriller and The Second Objective, a WWII mystery action-adventure (my personal fav) and…well maybe it’s time Mr. Frost to get back to it.
"Morning Lucy, what's going on?" "Uh, thanks to Jade Jered decided not to kill himself and he's changed his will leaving the towers to Jade instead of Emerald but Emerald found out about it and now she's trying to seduce Chet to give her the new will so she can destroy it and Montana's trying to kill Jered at midnight so that the towers will belong to Emerald and Montana but I think he's going to double-cross him and he doesn't know it yet. Poor Chet." "What's going on *here*?"
Lynch always planned Twin Peaks to be the soap to end them all; a show so twisted that even its own soap-within-a-soap, Invitation To Love, was eventually phased out because it exhausted the writers. “I really like soap operas,” he explains. “I got hooked when I was printing engravings at art school. This lady I was printing with was so completely addicted to two particular soaps - Another World and The Edge Of Night - that I got hooked as well. I dug them. But the frustrating thing about them is that they draw the smallest torments out forever. It works, but it’s frustrating.”
I'm surprised nobody has written about the connections between Edge and Peaks. I'm not talking about plot points or anything...but the vibe of Season 1 and Edge is very much there. Edge was a police procedural with soap elements...which is of course how Peaks started out. The relationship between the DA and the chief of Police on Edge is very close to Coop and Harry. I highly suggest watching Edge. Alas most of the episodes are wiped. Only the last five years (1979-1984) or so exist complete. Fall '79 to Summer '81 is brilliant.
It’d be so meta if David randomly comes back with a repackaging of The Return or something and there’s a secret short film on the special features revealing David has been possessed by Judy the whole time, and the show itself is made to spread her “extreme negative force” across the world
I loved the Chronicles when they first aired. The emphasis on creative montage and evocative music set the series over other run-of-the-mill documentary styled shows. Oddly, in the early 90s their style may still have been introduced too soon. Looking back I kind of wish they'd left all the narration out.
Kale is a wonderful human, and the interviewer conducted a wonderful interview. Twin Peaks is so much more than celluloid for so many of us -- it's sacred.
Imagine going into the movie thinking "Wow David Bowie is in this movie! So excited to see him" and then you see the actual singular scene where he just shows up to disturb the whole movie and f with your mind
Thank you! One of the best scores ever, also the A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, which inspired many themes from Resident Evil, one of my favorite videogames ever.
I read in a autobiographical book “David Lynch: Beautiful Dark” that this commercial was a loving homage to his father, Donald Lynch. He worked in a observation tower in Oregon with a beard so long it reached his knees.
