Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

On the other hand, Dougie was probably the one who was the most objectified of them all, with Janey E drooling over him in the doctor's office.

Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

As for showing Jade in the nude, Lynch probably liked what he saw and felt the scene had an aesthetic quality about it (which it did, in my opinion). Would it have been improved if she was dressed? Probably not. Let's face it, Lynch likes to include women in various states of undress. I would argue ...

Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

But she was perfect for that part. I think that's what steers Lynch, as it should be. Anything else would feel forced to me.

Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

Lynch objectifies the female actors/extras for sure. But that's another discussion, I guess :)

Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

The Fusco brothers in LA/Vegas. Entertaining in short doses but very little, if any, connection to the world of TP? Closer in style to Mulholland Drive then. Maybe the paycheck was simply too hard to refuse for Lynch, with TP being his most successful commercial enterprise.

Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

Right now I am thinking about Hasting's confession scene. Also too long winded.

Re: Differing Views on The Return - and a poll for the Disappointed Support Group

Jonah is right. Of course, TP on a whole could and should have been edited down. The number of storylines, which often have no bearing on eachother, is overkill. A lot of the content could have comfortably been included on a Deleted Scenes DVD accompanying the proper release. One scene with Dr. Amp ...

Re: To the Profoundly Disappointed: Are You Still Disappointed?

**in before someone says that people really are petty shit heads like Chad and Doris so this is real and META and viscerally effective. Don’t care, make it interesting. Exactly, I don't get that reasoning / line of defense at all nor was it needed to "prop up" the original. That's like sa...

Re: To the Profoundly Disappointed: Are You Still Disappointed?

Strangely enough, this wouldn't have even occurred to me. I can be hard on The Return, perhaps even going so far as to think perhaps too much Lynch was just too much of a good thing, but when I think of the original series, which I prefer over The Return, for me all the best moments were the Lynch ...

Re: To the Profoundly Disappointed: Are You Still Disappointed?

The Convenience Store though is a metaphor, and has always been. Who would build such a thing (having a staircase leading to a flat roof with nothing on it) in the middle of a forest/nowhere? Maybe in some old European fairytales. It has to be a dream. But the fact that we have seen it as such is f...

Re: To the Profoundly Disappointed: Are You Still Disappointed?

I think the divide between those who liked S3 and didn't is that the former take the demystification as servicing a greater deliberate theme (given the previous forum discussions about how, for instance, the bORB climax plays on the level of a hero's journey wish fulfillment, whereas everything tha...

Re: To the Profoundly Disappointed: Are You Still Disappointed?

But I do think there is a way In which late Lynch uses storytelling devices as a means to a end, rather than an end in itself, and that those receptive to this approach reap the most rewards from his work. Could it be that some of the most memorable scenes from the original were the results of othe...

Re: To the Profoundly Disappointed: Are You Still Disappointed?

Actually, I quite like the sinister and slow paced vibe of the final episode where Laura and Cooper are driving through the night, stopping at a gas station and what not. Very eerie. Wish there was more of that stuff :)
