You know, that's a great point I'd never considered. Even without the executive meddling, the setup of the series involving other directors & writers was probably doomed in and of itself in terms of Lynch's disenchantment ... I think it's also worth pointing out how Mark (according to Reflectio...

Very cool news. I’ve been waiting for this forever. The “Woodcutters” track was presumably written for that abandoned video game DKL was writing. I noticed that connection as well but wasn't that game developed in the late 90s? These tracks were recorded in 92-93. So it seems if anything, the game ...

The forced resolution of the “Who Killed Laura Palmer” arc (which Mark has said he endorsed at the time but now regrets) may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for DKL, but I think once he was forced to confront the realities of conventional TV production, the whole process was anathema...

Well, for what it's worth, Versace is actually quite bold and uniquely compelling. It's as much a thriller with disturbingly real horror elements as a melodrama as a psychological profile as an historical and political document, and the sprawling time hopping narrative is challengingly fragmented, ...

None of us knows for sure, but I could certainly envision Donna/LFB in the “rhinocerus/turquoise” scene with Steven. I wouldn’t put it past L/F to conceive that scene as a loving tour de force comeback for LFB, if she felt she was up to it. Again, I’ll note that DKL is no stranger to redeeming paria...

Sadly, there is almost no chance of Lynch or Frost winning. And if one or both of them does, I will eat my hat on this forum. Underestimating their ability to subvert all expectations is a dangerous game...! That doesn’t mean they have the superpower to change the hearts and minds of Emmy voters wh...

There is surely a shift in tone. But I do not think this can be attributed to the change of network. I think Brooker still gets to do whatever he feels like. I think Netflix is very creator-friendly (the new season of BoJack Horseman goes to a place most networks would veto on any show let alone an...

Metalhead seems to be the most polarizing episode of Black Mirror, possibly because there's less story than usual, but as a horror and aesthetics fan, I loved it and thought it was flawlessly done. It's also especially interesting/relevant to a discussion of Part 8 because of its near wordlessness,...

I love Black Mirror, but the “U.S.S. Callister” episode doesn’t exist in the same universe as TP P8. From a technical standpoint, the former is a lovingly executed tribute to a 50-year-old series; the latter is the only thing of its kind in the cultural landscape. This is a pretty clear demonstratio...

DKL was geographically absent for at least part of S2 handling the opening of an art show of his works in Tokyo. According to Harley Peyton, he was mentally/spiritually absent much more than Mark, even when Mark was in Louisiana and DKL was right across the hall. I believe Peyton called him an “orbi...

I’m just seeing a lot of speculation based on absolutely no evidence. For instance, as AgentEcho pointed out, people are reading a lot into the fact that actors are still doing appearances for the show, which doesn’t really mean much at all. But don’t mind me, I’ve found myself well served in life b...

I think with all of this boundlessly optimistic tea leaf reading, we’re destined to end up with a board full of profoundly disappointed fans.

Interesting. I haven't read any details on the place (not that I'm likely to be in Paris or that I could get in). Are you able to post your photo of the theater? How big was it in seats and screen size, would you say? I’m not great at gauging sizes/distances by eye, but I’d put the screen on the sm...

Wow! Do they let 13 year olds in? We may have our daughter with us if we go to Paris next year. Not sure! Everyone that I saw appeared to be well above 18. I do recall that when I was abroad in London in my early teens, no one deterred me from slipping into pubs with my parents to have lunch, and I...
