Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
As a way of returning to original point of this tread, and as a convenient segue from the digression into gender politics (I hold myself responsible as well), may I suggest rereading of Roger Ebert's review of Blue Velvet? Many of the points he raises in it can be applied to the current incarnation...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
Yes, and let's not forget Ruth's naked headless corpse or Darya, who was murdered in her underwear (because I'm sure the plot absolutely required her to die half-naked). Compare this to Ray, who did not have to die in his underwear. I guess that would have been too undignified for a guy... The Coop...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
As a former Lynch addict, I have to admit that Lynch's portrayal of women is problematic to say the least. They are either liars, or subservient, or being beaten, or screaming shrews, or sexual playthings, etc. There have been exceptions, of course, like Fern's character in Blue Velvet or Audrey as...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
One person mentions unnecessary nakedness of Naido in a post with other unrelated points, and two leap to defend the primacy of a man's boner. Justifying the technicalities of why Naido was naked is missing the point that Lynch wanted a "Nudes and Smoke" (David Lynch, IMAGES, 1994) moment...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
I don't believe that any of you will come around based on the final four Parts, nor should you be expected to. But I do think it's important to note what eyeboogers is probably meaning to say. Which isn't that the final parts will be so good that they'll make you like everything that came before th...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
I'm sure a few people here may have heard, or heard of, the legendary critical beatdown of the Star Wars prequels by Red Letter Media that were made a few years back. If anyone hasn't, I urge them to check 'em out. Not just as (deserved) trashings of a trilogy of really bad films, but also, for aspi...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
Lynch is, in my view, sticking two fingers up to a lot of us in The Return. Can't we do the same? Amen. Well you haven't yet any idea about what Lynch is doing. The producer of the series has stated that it is not possible to properly appreciate or contextualise everything that came before prior to...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
lol it took me about 5 seasons of house before I got used to Hugh Laurie with an American accent... I mean who would have thought Prince Regent himself would speak with an American accent. Actually, having Baldrick with the glove would have worked better. Lynch could claim that it was part of his c...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
Wow, I've been to work and come back and find 20 more pages on this thread and it's taken me an hour to read the posts! Was a bit shocked by some of the posts, no need to be nasty to one another. Just a note to those who love the show, please remember those who are disappointed and who are in 'The ...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
I see lots of people share my reaction to the introduction of Green Glove Boy. I looked him up, and it seems that the guy that plays him is a YouTube celebrity who apparently is able to convincingly carry off a bewildering number of accents. Although, on this evidence, "London" isn't one o...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
And yet when Cooper first walked into the Black Lodge, the LMFAP asked him, 'Would you like some coffee?' Followed later by the old waiter continually asking, "Coffee, coffee, coffeee...?" Oh yeah, and then there was Lil Jimmy Scott singing 'Under The Sycamores'. I'm not sure I understand...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
Ywhat used to be deep is now shallow and banal, used to pick slot machines and cherry pies. And yet when Cooper first walked into the Black Lodge, the LMFAP asked him, 'Would you like some coffee?' Followed later by the old waiter continually asking, "Coffee, coffee, coffeee...?" Oh yeah,...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
Very few things bring me as much joy as the Smiths at their most empathetic and joyous. That will never change. Morrissey, however, has transformed from a hero into loathsome self-regarding bigot, revelling in his own myth and firing out dog-whistle screeds denigrating sundry non-white people aroun...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)
Haaaaa judasbooth, as a long time Morrissey follower i made that parallel with Lynch in my mind a lot these last couple months also! The success & wealth allowing them to isolate themselves from any criticism or outside influence, the total unwillingness to even consider their peak is in the pa...
