(as he arguably did in Inland Empire, attempting to weave together two different projects in a meaningful way). Good call on the Sweeney association. Can I ask you to expand on the above point, re: two different projects? Hmm, it's in a John Neff comment left somewhere on dugpa, I'll see if I can f...

Oh one crackpot theory I forgot to mention in my piece - the kind of thing that popped into my head but I don't actually believe, but is kind of fun. People have wondered if Richard and Linda are evil and good Cooper's kids, respectively (Richard w/ Audrey, Linda w/ Annie)? We still haven't seen Li...

It's interesting to what extent the "constrained" period of Lynch's work - forced to reveal Laura's killer, making a prequel that had to align with a pre-established scenario, shooting a script he had no input on (Straight Story), turning a pilot into a feature - coincides with his collabo...

Of course I know that... and episode 8 (to take the most obvious example) could NEVER have ended with going back to the roadhouse. BUT the ending with the band is the STANDARD ending and here it didn't warrant a deviation. The Ed scene was powerful indeed, yes. But the music was mythical. James des...

Part 13 is up: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/08/twin-peaks-return-part-13-what-story-is.html Accepting that the story will not take any sharp turns until it's almost over. I'm convinced that Cooper won't "emerge" from Dougie any time soon. Nor will the sheriff's crew make it to Jack ...

James just sang "Just You". It is happening again. The ending shot of Big Ed burning an unknown piece of paper... I don't know. To me that was proof that some stories in Twin Peaks are non linear. I wonder if all those cars passing by will prove to be significant? And Audrey is definitely...

Just published my response to pt. 13: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/08/twin-peaks-return-part-13-what-story-is.html. A lot happened tonight, yet I also feel like I'm fully on the train of "nothing HUGE is going to happen until pt. 16 at least and I'm ok w/ that." Also, man is it ever...

I've been trying to figure out the somewhat maddening chronology of The Return especially since it became clear that multiple nights had passed since they were supposed to go to Jack Rabbit's. That said, I'm surprised to see people are committed to the idea that the days are out of sync - or have st...

Well, folks, this is it, get ready - clearly that baseball woke Cooper up! :twisted: I watched it again, in slow mo, on a really big screen. The ball definitely did NOT hit him in the head. Looked like left shoulder. I think that scene was there to clearly show that, despite coffee, sex, apple pie,...

Thanks, everyone! Part 12 is up: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/07/twin-peaks-return-part-12-lets-rock.html Attempting to articulate my thoughts/feelings after each installment is both rewarding and frustrating. I'm really glad I'm doing it as it will be impossible to recall these first impress...

Thoughts on Pt. 12: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/2017/07/twin-peaks-return-part-12-lets-rock.html Each individual episode is such a roller coaster, not just as I watch but afterwards. There were parts last night where I thought, "This is absolutely one of the best episodes of Twin Peaks! This...

I had my hopes that the indicated (spoiler) scene would mean that Cooper will have more of a mind in later episodes, but I agree, his movements are very Dougie-like, almost as if he is led by "the other person", so I'm in doubt now. We know that he drives, and we also see a gov't looking ...
