Re: For Those Who Were (Mostly) Satisfied with The Return

Ok, since it says 'mostly satisfied', I will air my one grievance on this thread. The one scene I have a hard time slogging through, that competes with how I felt about the worst part of Season 2, is the Wally Brando scene. It somewhat hurts my enjoyment of Part 4, which would otherwise be one of my...

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

Maybe I posted this before, but I used to Siskel and Ebert At The Movies growing up as a kid, and those two really got into it at times. This is my exxagerated take on a Siskel and Ebert exchange while reviewing a movie on their show: Siskel: (Insert Name of Movie) was an absolutely, divine, creativ...

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

I gotta say, with all the You Tube podcasters railing against pharmaceutical companies nowadays , Dr Amp plays really well in 2021. Much more so than he did in 2017. Literally Dr Amp types are driving the future of America today (or so it seems). And no I don’t want to get into the particulars but e...

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

Chad was my 2nd favorite new character, Richard being my first.

But if you didn’t like him, oh well, as Chad would say, ‘It’s a free world!’

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

As a young boy growing up in the 70s in the Midwest, there was a store near me with a big sign; CONVENIENCE STORE. That was all it was called, just CONVENIENCE STORE. So I realize this may be a generational thing, but back in the 50s through 70s many convenience stores would have had a sign labeling...

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

I don't believe a movie or a series has to have 'meaning', but most movies and shows explore different themes. But the big thing I took away from the Return was we can never really know anything about the reality we live in. It may, in fact, be a dream. Or a delusion. Or an altered state. We may rea...

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

I live in the northern suburbs of Georgia, U.S.A. and people lay on the car horn here all the time. It's nuts: I've had people swear at me, give me the middle finger, give other people the middle finger, chase other people down, threaten, scream, etc. The other day in Florida a pregnant woman delibe...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

Probably not related to Lynch's proposed project, but maybe the best we have for false hope for today's news roundup: https://twitter.com/RussTamblyn/status/1471219279861321729 I don't know what he's talking about, but a glimpse at the image in his post for sure just rejuvenated my excitement about...

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

To me, Audrey was resolved at the end. She is either stuck in some ethereal place, or she is stuck in a hospital or asylum. I don't think it really matter Audrey she is stuck, but the fact that she is living in some type of delusion or dream (perhaps) give a key clue to understanding the entirety of...

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

Speaking of big theories in general, while I do find most of the theories interesting, I honestly don't believe Lynch (and often Frost) think that deeply into the story the way people dissect them. At least not consciously so. I think Lynch operates on emotion and gut instinct and pure artistic vis...

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

I feel it is so bleak and mean spirited to their babies, these characters they loved. I don't think they did love them. Both Lynch and Forst walked away from the show during the original run, and Lynch repeatedly said over the years that Twin Peaks is dead and he has nothing to add. They only watch...

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

Great LateReg, better than I could ever have stated it.

The whole thing about the 'diseased corn' also seems to have a different interpretation in the face of COVID...as in, foreshadowing of a coming plague!

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

I understand what you're saying, but I don't see anything in the original series that approaches the brilliance The Mauve Room, Ep. 8 and Ep. 17 ('we live inside a dream') if you love surrealism and 'mind movies', which I do. So I think, yes, the original is stronger in certain areas, FWWM is strong...

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

omg Jonah, the whole sequence from when the bullet goes into the diner until the girl pukes is one of my favorite in the whole series. In fact, at one time I rated it as my favorite sequence of the whole series. It's one of those things I guess that either you get or you don't, based primarily on th...
