We can always talk about it. It doesn't mean we'll always agree, but it is what it is. Some people just see the same thing differently. Lynch has said it's not Laura and Ronette so I've dismissed it, though I did love the idea and hold to it for many years. I thought it was a nice nod, but even when...

As to the OP: Probably not, no. I love Marvel Comics but comics it ain't. I grow very weary of trying to tie everything into a nerd cosmology as sometimes happens today in media - I think it can be great when there's a big tapestry of the right things, but often it can also be reductive in its attem...

I think you'd be a good choice and have a good shot, being here as you are. Word has gotten around about your video essay and there are people who know people hereabouts, I think.

I personally emailed the publicist for the book from the initial press release and they confirmed the date as well. WTTP is correct here. I'm sure they are, vicksvapor. It's just common courtesy to comment on one's sources, thats all. Fin. Not if their source does not want to be exposed. Like most ...

I believe they have sources just as we do. I can buy it's a tentative date.

I would appreciate the provocative nature if it was there. I don't believe it is, not with David Lynch and not on this topic. IIRC, Lynch very ardently defended the soap opera as form at the time against people pooh-poohing the label. The fact is that the basic concept of soap opera remains an essen...

Ajax Rules wrote:So, if Lynch and Frost view TP as a soap-opera, it proves to me that even these men have flaws.

All it proves to me is you don't like soap opera. And that's certainly your prerogative but it's got nothing to do with TP and how they choose to make it.

Lynch himself has said it was a soap opera.

This is completely unrelated, but what's interested me recently is how much the second series of the French series Les Revenants ( The Returned ), now running in the U.S. on the Sundance Channel, reminds me of early Season 2 of our show. Much like the premiere of S2 and how I remember the episodes b...

I think opinion has turned more and more on FWWM in at least the last decade, though I think The Entire Mystery and the new series will definitely help with that and continue to do so. As for the finale, many sites I know have often said the finale was a masterpiece (directed by Lynch, natch) but th...

Be that as it may, David Nevins and Showtime are not going to touch the story or creative process of TP because Lynch will never stand for it. And they know from experience he will raise hell if they interfere. They have rolled the dice and, in this very rare case, that means standing back and doing...

You're hitting it on the head when you speculate the decision to design S3 as a capable stand-alone for the benefit of the un-enfranchised (er, newbies), or be dependent on prior education (ergo, newbies scratch heads), is a big decision. I suspect the former is their inclination, although that mea...

And yet, it's cozy but still remains gritty. They still spend most of the season talking about rape, about cocaine, about Laura having sex with at least three different men the night of her death, about underage girls prostituting themselves in mail-order magazines, about her maybe fucking her docto...

I have always loved the color tone on many of the studio sets, which I know Lynch was at least partly responsible for seeing to for broadcast. But it started with the recreation by the set designers. I also much prefer the colors and warmth of the studio Double R vs. the pilot, but I am content with...

I may well be in the minority but I've said it before - I would be open to other directors taking the reins after the initial Lynch run of a season or two, however many it ends up being, if Lynch and Frost choose to want it to continue. Which I currently doubt. People forget and often dismiss some o...
