Twin Peaks
I have always been a Lynch fan but I had never seen this series because I wanted to watch it start to finish.
A friend of mine lent me the entire series and "Fire Walk With Me" on VHS.
I finished it in about two and a half weeks.
Absolutely stunning.

Paramount says DVDS of season 2 should be out by either end of this year or early next year. TRAVESTY that about 2-3 years ago we got cleaned up masters of the 1st season w/ no follow up... bastards...
At one point, legend has it, Lynch was one of Lucas's top picks to direct Return of the Jedi in 1983. Im sure he wouldve had fun with the Skywalker family (lemme guess... incest, severed hands, droids that say gee and golly....)

Bobby Briggs with his Dad, Major Briggs, coming in a close second.
One of my favorite scenes:
When Major Briggs is tryimg to comfort his son before Lauras funeral telling him it is ok to be afraid.
Bobby says
"Afraid, AFRAID!!!...I AM GONNA TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN!"
Fucking hilarious.
"Welcome to amateur hour"...etc
Michaeal Ontkean (H.S. Truman) was in 'slapshot' and went to UNH (how cool is that?)

I'm surprised we don't see more of them.
What is Micheal Ontkean up to these days?
Or Deputy Andy for that matter.
Im not too sure

Huzzah and Kudos to You, Rory.
The thing about Lynch is he is all about intuition. I think, in a certain way, that is a major theme in Twin Peaks.
I heard that the guy who played "BOB" was just a stage hand who accidently showed up in a scene. When Lynch saw it he decided to write him into the script because he was such a spooky looking dude.
Ended up working out pretty well.
Ive never heard it put that way, but that is an EXCELLENT description.
Eraserhead isn't to be "understood" so much as it is to be experienced.
Who says film is always supposed to hold your hand through an A-B-C-D-E-F-G story (or even a A D C B F s Q R Story if yr Bryan Singer, Q Tarantino or Christopher Nolan?)
Or going a step further, if you think an idea or an image is more important than a subject doing something, why do you have to have a story at all (other than to make $$ for a studio or being wildly popular I mean)

I'm not that big of a fan of his more obtuse stuff. It has merit but I get kind of bored.
John Lennon was rumored to have made the decision to go into "Rock and Roll" rather than visual art because he believed it was more direct.
I think his quote was, "It's all about dick." .
I hate watching artistic masturbation. I don't want a load in the face of someone else's brillance. Dave L and Stanley K are amazing, dare I say genius, but some of their work sucks ass. Like a salad bar, I will pick and choose what I like.

Good point. The non-linear storyline is really fun. However, your wording ("who says...") implies, to me, you are stating the following:
If you don't like the work of David Lynch, you probably do not understand it.
To quote the Big Leb:
"Am I wrong? Am I wrong"... "No Frederick, you're not wrong; you're an asshole"

Just as some people have a difficult time explaining what Jazz is, but know it when they hear it, I would say that a DL movie is like no other and even the ones that frustrate me are still a part of DL and bless him for that.

I must agree with pamsterdam... you are a classy gent.
Perhaps I was too hasty in sending you that Turd-O-Gram.
Be well,

Supposedly, if there had been a third season, the main plot was to have been Major Briggs rescuing Cooper from the Black Lodge.
That shit would be sick!!!
FtY, are you Wiccan?
Someone will show up at his house with Poo-On-A-Stick and read him bad poetry. This was a common practice in Prussia in the 1800s, as public debate was outlawed.
And I am not Wiccan; I am down with the O.D. (sadly, not the ODB RIP).
Word.

agreed!
Did anyone see TP on TV when they re-aired on Bravo? During that syndicated run, there were brief creepy Log Lady introductions to all the episodes....
Damn you.
(Blessed (Be) Well),
FtY
We could all pick a night on our own and then discuss each episode here at the end of the week.
Wait...no...that just queer.

I don't have any right handed content blocks, maybe I can remove the width constraint.
