Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017
I think advertising for TP would be the easiest thing in the world. Two of the major qualities to the show and most of Lynch's work are mystery (with an emphasis on the sublime) and beautiful women. So the ads should focus on mysterious images and, if possible, some of the new actresses.
If they can't use any new imagery without Lynch's consent, then they should still approach the campaign as I said, just by revisiting old imagery.
Another fun approach would be to hire some contemporary artists or directors to create mysterious/strange spots for the show. Plenty of TP/Lynch fans out there would jump at the chance to participate in such a campaign.

Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017
I feel for Showtime in some ways as they have very little to go on - and by the sounds of it they've spent quite a bit of money on this thing. I think the 'Before Breaking was bad' trailer (or whatever it was) was a really bad one though. If anything people tend to be turned off by proclamations that old things are better than new. The live-tweeting stuff seems a bit cringey too (coupled with emojis, 'bromance' buzzwords etc, feeling generally like it's desperately trying to be hip).
But I must admit, I'm not really bothered about S3 being a hit. If it stays under the radar that's more than fine with me.

Honestly, a show featuring a lot of old people looking sad & depressed really excites me (in Lynch's hands).
Don't know what that says about me!!

100% agree. the guy kills it when it comes to shooting sexy young women and craggy old people. Just the expressions/lighting in the "familiar faces" teaser conjure up feelings and worlds.Snailhead wrote:Honestly, a show featuring a lot of old people looking sad & depressed really excites me (in Lynch's hands).

Don't know if this has been posted, but MacLachlan will be on the "Tonight Show" on Thursday. Does anyone have info about any other participants on talk shows?

To play devil's advocate, I think Showtime has the entire prior work of TP to advertise, they've just done a subpar job of marketing, and not to mention some very uninspired merch to boot. We've already gotten more of an advance peek at S3 than the last few seasons of Mad Men... IMO-it's good to go in blind with few expectations of what it might be.

In a way, I know what you mean. We don't get a lot of shows with a big portion of characters over 50 years old, and we have so many talented actors in that age range who can't find jobs because audiences would rather see a younger cast on screen. Hopefully if TP S3 does well things can start to change.Snailhead wrote:Honestly, a show featuring a lot of old people looking sad & depressed really excites me (in Lynch's hands).

Speaking of HDS is 90, right? He must have lived a really healthy lifestyle to still be acting at that age.Agent Sam Stanley wrote:In a way, I know what you mean.

The social media obsession is one of the stupidest things about TV promotion these days. There is no real correlation between social media traffic and ratings. The vast mayority of tweets or whatever about TV shows are about "shipping" characters so shows that feature those kind of storylines will generate more tweets etc.Metamorphia wrote:I feel for Showtime in some ways as they have very little to go on - and by the sounds of it they've spent quite a bit of money on this thing.

The concept of live tweeting is just puzzling. Why the hell would I want to be distracted by live tweets while watching the actual show? It's implicitly admitting the show is too weak to hold the audience's attention.

Actually the audiences have been quite receptive to actors/characters around and over 50 in the last few years. I think the writers have a lot of catching up to do to write for them in a way that gives them justice which doesn't always happen. A prime example is the horrendous writing Viola Davis has to deal with on her show.Agent Sam Stanley wrote:In a way, I know what you mean.
