When I was a kid I would go to this summer camp in the Santa Cruz mountains. I finally visited again as an adult during the off season and everything felt simultaneously smaller and more empty than I remember. Despite the nostalgia, it felt overwhelmingly depresssing. This is the exact feeling I get from the scenes we have gotten that actually take place in Twin Peaks. It's still Twin Peaks but something about it makes me feel lonely, sad, and claustrophobic. Like the world has moved on but Twin Peaks is still trying to hold onto the past. This is not a bad thing at all, just the feeling it evokes for me.
I think it's supposed to be that way a little bit. I say that because that feeling takes a literal representation with Lucy not grasping the concept of cellular phones haha. Also we haven't yet seen most of the original characters. The world feels emptier... but I'm hoping it shifts over the course of the season, and I'm pretty sure it will.
Agreeing with all the posts about how the town itself feels 'emptier'. The bar seems like the only lively place at the moment for the little amount we've seen it. Hoping somehow Coop, Gordon, etc. are all somehow drawn back to Twin Peaks for some reason, and a large chunk of the season takes place there and we find the town is lively and normal, but not quite, as per the original 2 seasons.
Also, FWWM is way darker than what we've seen so far. This season I'd say is more nightmare-ish and supernatural in parts, but FWWM was a dark window into the life of Laura.
Idk why, but I'm able to watch the season on demand even though I'm pretty sure I don't have Showtime
haha that's so strange, a bunch of my friends and I all follow a facebook page called "fire walk with memes" and it's literally been this shit every day for years
Yep I've seen all four. Does FWWM help make more sense of these episodes? There's a lot of points in The Return where I'm confused (as I'm sure it's supposed to be), but I also chalked this up to it being 3 years since I watched the original seasons and my memory being hazy.
After the end of watching Windom kidnap Annie at the Miss Twin Peaks contest, my girlfriend turns to me and tells me, "I'm excited for the next episode. I feel like since it was originally the series finale, Annie definitely wont die"
I wanted to ask how you were doing understanding everything because thus far, the movie doesnt seem too much of an obligatory watch, but i think it definitely helps a bit in terms of symbolism and understanding the phillip jeffries timeline
I started my rewatch of FWWM this morning. I forgot how fucked it is. Ray Wise and Sheryl Lee are so good in it. Hopefully I'll finish it after work tonight.
Completely agree. Really shows why Laura is so damaged. Fantastically dark, emotional and heartbreaking.
The Deer Meadow segment alone makes FWWM worth watching, not to mention the rest is equally brilliant in a very disturbing way. Sheryl Lee knocks it out of the park in that movie.
Can someone explain the ending of FWWM to me? As in the scene in the lodge with Cooper, Laura and the angel? Is it Laura's guardian angel finally watching over her and giving her peace? And that's why she's happy? Not too confused, just want some thoughts on the ending.
