What is the Twin Peaks: The Return of literature?

>marathon s1 2 and 3 of twin peaks

>appreciate Lynch's approach towards the rural side of the american lifestyle, and the sense of community and trust between simple people who are facing horrible events, without idealising said characters
>feel sad about the Fact that Lynch is going to die soon, but even more because I can't get out of my mind that everyone involved with Hollywood are making money for disgusting yuppies, since making the experience of enjoying and connecting with a movie or show without guilt for falling for the capitalist pirotecnia

>no eating in the conference room, Chad

I would keep that portrait too, Kafka is a very handsome guy

Inconsequential garbage that sucks.

That show sucked. It just didn't come together right.

they literally destroyed them, user

the actors got the part of the scripts that was relevant to their roles and then they were destroyed afterwards

we all got David Lyncho'd

> not keeping a portrait of Kafka in the office of an immensely bureaucratic system

I think Kafka would both love and hate this.

> a literal fucking CHAD
> he's a douchebag

Is Lynch one of us

I fucking hate the age of nostalgia we're living

>Naked Lunch
Not at all. Not even close.

> What about new movies
> nah

Said nobody ever. People who are obsessed with Twin Peaks are obsessed with Lynch as a whole.

I get the nostalgia-wave bullshit, it's why most indie game devs get crowd funding, because they know nostalgia is powerful. It's why a lot of movies are remakes and why there's a lot of cinematic universe shit too.

But season 3 of Twin Peaks is classic Lynch and is likely to be respected in the same vein as Inland Empire, Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet. Get your head out of your ass, user.

shut up bitch

...

> tfw she doesn't actually say what happened

Partly I want to find out more but partly I also want to say "heh nothin personnel kid but they did make your career for you"

>tfw she doesn't actually say what happened
we already know, user

What? Please elaborate

The dwarf accused Lynch of molesting his own daughter and then making a show about it

Well in all seriousness, apparently Lynch and one of the executive producers were cunts to Cruise on set and she was pissed that she turned out to have so little screentime. That and I hear she's not the most stable person, mentally.

Michael J. Anderson (pic in previous post) has held a similar grudge against Lynch for the longest time, going so far as claiming Lynch raped his own daughter and sends death threats to people who want to expose him. He also shitposts on facebook about how the jews run Hollywood and how that's why he can't get work anymore.

Apparently Sherilyn Fenn was a bit fucked in the head as well, a few years back at least. Long ramblings about nothing on her blog and twitter. She shaved her head at one point.

In other words, some folks got LYNCHED.

what does that have to do with Julee Cruise

why would Lynch's daughter let Lynch produce her films for her then

I think there's the smell of bullshit about it

That was just bullshit

Julee was mad because she thought she would get a full performance like the rest of the music cast

Honestly, I don't know if it was to piss her or to piss fans. Lynch always pranks his own fans, he kind of despise us, that's it, I don't know how the fuck people who consider themselves fans watched third season and don't get it
Maybe it's because I'm such an oldfag I've been following Lynch since Lost Highway and I know how he enjoy this kind of practical jokes.

Also you don't know shit, learn your Lynch facts about the past 20 fucking years and then come back

That's kinda sad about Cruise not being mentally stable. I don't believe Lynch would be a cunt to her on set though from how Laura Dern talks about him. My impression from dealing with mentally unstable people is that she may have misinterpreted something as an insult.

Pretty shitty about Mr Anderson being like that too. Any reason why his grudge started? Having a pop at Jewish people in Hollywood seems like it would hurt your career even more.

Sherilyn Fenn was Audrey, right? That's sad about her being messed up.

I suppose this isn't too unlikely when you pick unknown actors, some from the fringe of their craft.

Thanks user for elaborating.

What "lynch facts"?

> audrey dance cut-off by a brutal fight
> she starts screaming and disappears into a white room with the mirror

What was that all about? I've been hearing suggestions like Twin Peaks is all in her head(which might make a little sense when Coop says "we all live in a dream" in the next episode)

What are some books with an ending as bleak and gut-wrenching as that of The Return so I can avoid them?

A Farewell to Arms was teenage heartbreak compared to this desu

her career existed thanks to Twin Peaks

I think that scene was like my favourite in the season. Just so unsettling. I don't think of it in relation to the rest of the show to try to 'explain' it I just enjoy it for its tragedy - the idea that Audrey is dreaming about being young and beautiful again and getting all the attention of the boys. It's some Blanche DuBois shit.

She is in a coma from that bank explosion or whatever that happened, can't remember it anymore.

There's also the conversation between Audrey and Charlie
Charlie: Or do I need to end your story as well?
Audrey: What story is that Charlie? The one about the little girl who lived down the lane? is it?

And in episode 17 that line of Audrey's is repeated by the arm

Episode 18 actually

who /tpg/ here

Reminder that Lynch only wrote the Gordon Cole character so he could kiss best girl in her prime
Whats the literature equivalent to this?

>believing this is actually Julee Cruise and not just a random fake account

This show attracted 16 year old pseuds like flies to shit. It's ridiculous, I've never seen anything like it

...

/thread/
that guy was too butthurt

>18 parts
>described as Coop's "Odyssey"

I haven't done an extensive look through yet but you can at least say that the focus on Laura for the last episode draws parallels to Penelope. Also Coop's "return" being in part 16.

I honestly think Ulysses had the most influence on this.

Laura's texas town was called "odessa" or something like that
Makes me think

Yeah considering the focus Lynch puts on little things like that I'm pretty sure it was supposed to a feminine spelling of the word odyssey, that's the only actual reason I can think of for her being in Texas and not some other random place.

/tpg/ regular here! Have you read my b- I mean The Secret History yet? It's damn good and well worth your hard-earned dollars. :)

Odessa is a real city in Texas. What you're saying is still interesting though.

Of course Mark Frost is here
Are you stupid?

THE JOKE IS THAT A PORTRAIT OF KAFKA IS IN A BUREAUCRAT'S OFFICE

I FINALLY FUCKING GOT IT

it's really her

Is Twin Peaks really worth watching?

A friend of mine tried to get me into. The only thing i tried to watch by now was the movie and i sucked so hard i had to turn off after 30 minutes. I like some movies by him, but the series seems way overrated and just like over the top postmodern bullshit. any opinions?

Watch the Pilot and decide for yourself, if you don't like it you won't like the rest of it.

Bugs...

t b h, the Pilot is a bit slow compared to the rest of the show, and some people can be taken aback by that. I'd say watch up to episode 3.

Not for you, mate.
Not for you.

>The only thing i tried to watch by now was the movie
Now why would you go and do a thing like that?

>watching the movie before the series
you Lynched yourself

When she woke up she had a surprise lol

>That small moment where Laura recognizes Cooper in 1989.

;_;

and then the music starts playing and I'm just fucking done emotionally

The first season is the best that has ever come out of american television.
The second season starts of great, then has some ups and downs, becomes really tedious for a few episodes but finishes off with a finale that redeems everything.

The movie is very different from the show but an interesting new view on things we knew but only heard about before.
Worth watching for the acting alone, in my opinion.

The third season is again very different from the series and movie but worth watching if you like Lynch's later works.

If you don't like quirky characters, ambiguous stories and surrealism, it's just not for you.

>that moment when it goes from monochrome to color while Laura's theme plays

Could somebody explain to me the finale?
I'm fucking lost guys

normalCooper gets realLauraPalmer back.
Judy places her brainwashed into Odessa to fuck with her (Judy can't kill Laura, she tries to stab her picture but her image stays without damage). Cooper finds her, again. Brings her back to Sarah's house. Inhabited by Judy's tricks, again. Laura wakes up and remembers all of it. Battle of good and evil is never over. Trauma can't be undone by happy go feels of episode 17.

But what year is it?
Is Alice Tremont married to the grandson of Mrs. Tremond?
Is that even the real world or are they trapped in a "dream?"
Who is the dreamer?

>buy a cake in my way home
>not a pie

>But what year is it?
Never determined.
>Is Alice Tremont married to the grandson of Mrs. Tremond?
Probably.
>Is that even the real world or are they trapped in a "dream?"
Dream.
>Who is the dreamer?
Laura is the one.

the scene where Laura Palmer's Theme plays in episode 17 is exactly what Lynch described to Angelo when they were composing the song? They're in the dark woods, and then Laura comes into the light at the emotional height of the song, only to disappear. The ultimate pottery.

>She shaved her head at one point
Lynch literally put her in the THX-1138 white void so that seems appropriate.

Why did twin peaks become lost highway? I read it as Cooper and Laura both uncertain of their identities and whether what is based on dreams. That's a really bleak ending

Lynch really is the master of fucking with us. It's all so integrated that I can't help but feel like it all means something but I can't even begin to comprehend what. I really should let the images wash over me but I find that easier the second time round.

I love that scene, always makes me smile. Norma, Shelly and Audrey are also qts

Nah m8 you just sound like a whiny cunt because lynch is in the limelight again

based eddie vedder poster

Is this guy just short or does he have like dwarfism

Also no disrespect to him, he and Audrey were great

I know, I only say interesting things

I was wondering how they did that. Was it old footage? Were the actors in good make up to make them look younger?

Tfw those few seconds of Leo

WHAT HAPPENED TO WINDOM EARLE THOUGH?

Just watch Fire Walks With Me for fuck's sake.

Very dissapointed at the deus ex machina with Freddie "fist of the northern star" Sykes.
So the one guy who finally defeats BOB is some random english guy we never heard of?
COME ON LYNCH.

Lynch pranked us hard.

She doesn't look like Laura lynch you fucking fag

It was Laura's actor in dark lighting, make-up and with a little bit of CGI.

In the end Windham's face is on the Lincoln memorial's statue.

That was Sheryl Lee though. Like the old hag Lee.

Literal deus ex since the Giant sent him there.

It wasn't de though? It was stated very early on that he had a destiny and op powers and his route to the point of knocking out chad and bob was logical

It needs redistributing in the UK

Are you for fucking real?

that was only midway through episode 17 though
the point was that 'ending' was cheesy and unsatisfying and then the show started exploring more interesting ideas

Childhood disease stunted his growth, here's what wikipedia has to say about it:

>Middleton has had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since he was 4 years old. He summarized its effects in an interview, "At first it distorted my hands. Then the cortisone I had to take made my cheeks fat. At 8, I lost movement in my neck. When I was 15, my hip snapped. After an operation, I had to be on crutches and later, after I broke my leg falling over my dog, on canes". He remains at a height of 5 ft 4 in (163 cm).[1]

Poor fucking guy. At least he's still taller than Audrey.
