Also, I thought Lynch knew from the beginning he needed 18 1-hour long time slots, and Showtime only wanted to give him 9. What I recall reading is that the initial script had episode/part breaks just as placeholders/guidance for Lynch and Frost (I’m not sure if it was said how many episode breaks ...

It could be # of hours or episodes/parts. Also, if season 4 were to be shorter than The Return, do you think Lynch would still take the "slow-cinema" approach? It’s impossible to predict. Who would have guessed Lynch would give us 18 hours in S3? I do think the Part/episode count was dete...

Hello everybody! I've been lurking on here for the past month or so and I finally decided to join. I'm just a massive David Lynch/TP fan. I don't know if an introduction like this is normal (I don't use forums like these very often). Welcome! We don’t get many new members these days. Feel free to g...

I mentioned it in a season 2 ep thread, but I really enjoy the Andy/Dick rivalry that turns into a genuine friendship that basically doesn't even factor Lucy into the equation. It's probably the most charming subplot of the down stretch of season 2. I also wish Windom Earle was a serious villain in...

I don't think that type of meta narrative is anything David Lynch does with his works. Twin Peaks has always had a meta-aspect about it, beginning with Lynch as director of the film and Cole as director of the FBI, and The Return is a very playful piece of cinema in that way. There's Rancho Rosa an...

He hasn't posted anything on his youtube in a while in terms of shorts, and if that doesn't end up satisfying his moving-pictures creative need during COVID, perhaps the next logical leap is something in line with those shorts? As in, maybe the most viable thing, and also not something he's done be...

If you did something more studio bound, either like a play or with greenscreeen, with a small cast and crew, might be more doable with a 'bubble' team. I know Ronnie Rocket people will yell at me and tell me Ronnie Rocket sucks and you want Twin Peaks. But complicated logistical location film work ...

That’s true. Smokers are included on the CDC “at-risk” list as suffering terrible consequences if they do contract the virus, and our man is an inveterate smoker. That didn’t even occur to me.

Lynch seems nervous already about covid, he mentions in the you tube videos he doesnt want to leave his house until there's a vaccine, and he's known to have superstitions. He even avoided coming to work sometimes I read if he saw a license plate with an unlucky number. Has he mentioned recently th...

As for the "Ronnie Rocket" thing that keeps popping up, this I don't get at all. Why resurrect an unproduced screenplay from forever ago. Especially since most of its concepts were used elsewhere by the same filmmaker. It is too fan service, unlikely to make a profit, and artistically red...

Come to think of it, has Lynch gone on record saying it was flat out never supposed to be revealed? I feel as if it might be hyperbole on his part, or shaky memory on my part. I feel every time I've seen Frost discuss it, he treats it more as a general 'mystery was meant to be retained' kind of thi...

I can’t imagine that they never meant to reveal the killer. I think the killer reveal led to some of the richest material in the franchise (Episode 14, FWWM), and gave much more depth to the series. Laura’s death went from being a MacGuffin in a Hardy Boys story to a genuine real tragedy. Even today...

Speaking of unresolved mysteries, what is up with those tinted glasses!

I'm okay with no more, because much as FWWM and The Return have shown, it's not going to resolve or answer remaining mysteries and questions, and it will just bring up a bunch of new mysteries and questions that will never get a resolution. I don't see the problem with that, especially given the or...
