Twin Peaks (ABC) TV Show • Page 87

this is how my roommate and i greet each other as soon as one of us walks in the door hahah

 

Wtf does that mean Kyle

 

GOD DAMNIT KYLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Kale is the best at teasing.

 

I can't handle this right now what the fuck

 

Honestly, I don’t want a season 4 but I also know Lynch wouldn’t do anything unless he believed in it so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

I wasn't totally satisfied with the ending if viewed as a series finale. but as a season finale I thought it was great.

 

I'd imagine a fourth season would absolutely be worth it if Lynch is involved. I have complete faith in him.

 

I assume he just means that the world will reach a point where shows as weird as this one get formally recognized and it's not a sneak tease or anything

Big if true though

 

I look forward to both those days, that we get more Twin Peaks, and also that weird and genre fare get more recognized. but also I'm happy just enjoying it myself as long as we keep getting more great and unique content.

 

Are there any other directors that does the surreal even close to as good as Lynch right now?

The only person I can think of is Yorgos Lanthimos, but even then, he's not all that surreal.

 

This is something I am curious of as well. The only recent television show I can think of that feels remotely Lynchian is Atlanta. Maybe The Leftovers (RIP) and Sharp Objects but even they only dip their toes into the surreal.

Soderbergh's The Knick feels quite often like a fever dream, though that doesn't mean it's similar to Lynch.

 

Denis Villeneuve dabbled in surrealism with Enemy. I feel like there are a lot of surrealist short films but not a whole lot of long form content. Maybe Holy Motors?

 

Good call on Enemy and Holy Motors, both great movies.

Under the Skin would be another one.

 

Holy Motors definitely has elements of surrealism. great film. Mandy has a lot of surrealism as well. can’t recommend that one enough. he hasn’t made a film in a couple of years but Alejandro Jodorowsky is right there with Lynch insofar as the masters of the genre. The Holy Mountain and El Topo are both surrealistic masterpieces

 

there just aren’t enough directors that do surrealism these days. a few dabble but there’s not too many who fully commit the way someone like Lynch does. makes me sad because those are my favorite kind of films

 

I'm trying to think of recent movies that scratched that kind of itch for me. Borgman and Neon Demon come to mind.

 

how did I not know about Borgman?

 

Borgman is so fucking good

 

So much of the art film world is very formal, Antonioni-like dramas. Lynch has been more or less doing his own thing for decades but he never had the same kind of imitators that Soderbergh and Tarantino and Wes Anderson inspired. It is refreshing in a way.

Regarding a fourth season, Lynch has nothing to prove. He revived a show, which is hard enough to do, but went even older than most shows. He took that huge cast and all of the branching storylines and managed to make one of the greatest seasons of televisions ever. Whereas the end of the second season left a lot to do, the conclusion of the third season felt definitive.

 

Lynch only really has spiritual imitators, people who saw his movies and realized “oh I can totally do my own thing just like he does his own thing.” He’s the Andy Kaufman of cinema

 

My dad wrote a “strongly worded letter” to mark frost about some things from s03 that upset him. Absolutely nothing about where the story went. I don’t know how to do the spoiler tag here but I thought that was so funny and such a dad-move.
Overall he liked it in the way that he enjoys just how “weird” it is. He gets a giggle out of the stranger things which is fun

 

Dear Mark Frost

I am strongly disappointed that James Hurley is not featured prominently in every episode. James needs to be angrier, louder, and have access to a time machine. When James is not onscreen, all the characters should be asking "where's Hurley?!"
