Apart from Australia, I never realised that Picnic at Hanging Rock was that well known.

Ontkean would have had plenty of scenes...L/F wouldn't have asked him to fly up from Hawaii for one scene. All Frank's scenes, and likely several of Hawk's, would have belonged to Harry. The character of Frank was only invented after he dropped out.Esselgee wrote:So might we get a reason now why Ontkean dropped out? Did he possibly get to read the whole script and changed his mind? He would have had probably just the single scene with Kyle in 17 and thought it just wouldn't be worthwhile?
Pretty sure he likes her just fine. He did a commercial with her before she was ever on TP. I think he just doesn't care much about anything that happened in late season 2 without his influence.I guess Lynch wasn't a big fan of Heather Graham?
I'm not sure it is outside film-buff circles. I first found it a few years ago browsing through Hulu's Criterion catalogue.Cooperscoffeecup wrote:Apart from Australia, I never realised that Picnic at Hanging Rock was that well known.
very good point.. i noticed the thing about the connection with Audrey and the story about the little girl who lived down the lane.. it also reminds me of Grace Zabriskie's Visitor character in Inland Empire, who is a female/girl that says her house is down by the road, and difficult to seeThumbsUp wrote:The story of the girl who lived down the lane.
Audrey said the same thing to Charlie. Charlie threatened to end her story. Sarah told Hawk it's a god damn bad story.
"Story" = a particular timeline, dimension, parallel universe? Carrie had to get her coat like Audrey had to, the phone was ringing in Carrie's and Audrey was sick of waiting for the phone to ring.
I think Audrey's whole thread was to foreshadow the system of dreamers/dreams that the entire TP universe seems to be functioning in.
Yes, I was expecting much the same. And it just seemed to suggest that things would wrap up, one way or the other.Jonah wrote:The "curtain call" line was intriguing. When that line was first stated, I expected we'd see a literal curtain call (ala the closing credits of "Inland Empire") with all the cast appearing and bowing, perhaps in front of red curtains. Now I wonder if that's a hint for a bonus episode, Missing Pieces of some sort, or maybe even Season 4. (Part 18 was so disappointing I hope there's a bit more story - somewhere.)
Didn't Naido feel his face in Episode 3? The mauve room?ThumbsUp wrote:I loved it. Speaking of Diane, when she and Coop are having sex, is she putting her hands on his face to block out memories of her assault? Or was she touching his face to see if it was really him? Why were they having sex in the first place, and why did it seem to splinter another timeline?Tailsun wrote:Thank you for this - I thought I remembered Audrey mentioning the "girl down the lane."

I felt tons of deja vu during part 18 and I'm sure there are even more moments that were "seeded" earlier in the series. Very reminiscent of MD. I think Jeffries' manipulation of the Owl Cave/ring symbol is relevant here. A familiar representation of our reality (or story as you put it) rearranging and folding in on itself until it becomes "infinity," distorting our story into something uncanny. Definitely veering into extreme abstraction, even by TP standards. I'd be curious to see if this changes the impact of some scenes with a rewatch.
It seemed like a lot of deju vu or repeat experiences the characters were going through, maybe with different versions of themselves, which links back to Jeffries' infinity symbol and the many teapots, and the larger running themes of TP like doppelgangers, lookalikes, dreams, past and future, chanting out between two worlds, etc.
Cipher wrote: I also like the reading above that interprets "430. Richard and Linda. Two birds with one stone" as a warning. That's certainly possible. Either way, it's an inscrutable spiritual tug of war with Laura (capable of saving herself and understanding) and Cooper (who can't) in between. I'm happy we know as little about the spirits as we do--they illustrate the emotional components without subsuming them, as I was worried at points this season they might.
I do find that kind of interpretation quite witty and entertaining, but I won't lie: It does not convince me. If that phrase was a warning, it was worded extremely badly. Not just simply because Cooper didn't get it; but because it achieved the polar opposite of what it intendend to. Simply omitting the "430" would have sufficed to prevent Cooper from doing what he did. Heck, without the "430" he would not even have needed any kind of warning.Ragnell wrote: Richard and Linda. 430. 2 birds with one stone.
The clue was backwards, showed that if he tried to get those two birds he'd end up with Richard and Linda's unsatisfying night. "I understand" "You are far away"="You are nowhere near understanding."
Yes. Timothy and Mary Reber are the real life owners of the house.Soolsma wrote:Are the Chalfonts played by the actual real life residents of the Palmer house? I've heard this rumor a long time ago.
I love what Lynch is slightly hinting at there, like with the Belucci dreamPanapaok wrote:Yes. Timothy and Mary Reber are the real life owners of the house.Soolsma wrote:Are the Chalfonts played by the actual real life residents of the Palmer house? I've heard this rumor a long time ago.
