Season One Commentaries?
Does anyone have them saved somewhere? I used to have the DVD set, and remembered enjoying them, but they haven't been included elsewhere. I'd like to hear them again.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I think I have the old Season 1 boxset in my dad's basement back home. I was just thinking of those the other day - I'd love to hear them.

Re: Season One Commentaries?
I was never able to listen to those and I know that Lynch purposefully didn't include a transfer of them over to the blu-ray because he "doesn't like commentaries". But I've been sort of curious if there was any interesting significant information dropped by the participants in those commentaries?

Re: Season One Commentaries?
I thought so, yeah though I can't remember exactly what! I do know Harley Peyton mentions Lynch disliking Invitation to Love & feeling it was too on-the-nose, which I don't think comes up anywhere else (in Brad's book one of the ItL actors says Lynch may not have liked the video quality I think). Frank Byers was very interesting too, really giving a sense of how the series was shot. I probably need to listen to them again at this point. I actually bought a used Artisan set on Amazon a month before the Entire Mystery because I wanted to hear those commentaries!

Re: Season One Commentaries?
Speaking of which, I'm watching them right now (can't watch my blu-rays for the moment, so on this rewatch I'm using the CBS s2 & Artisan sets - and will be renting the Gold Box edition of the pilot). I recall people saying that these transfers looked really good and that the episodes actually look better than on the s2 set because with only 2 per disc they are less compressed.
Whew - I have to disagree. The titles are quite fuzzy to begin with, and the image is too light, missing that dark, rich "Twin Peaks" atmosphere. Plus, not an image note, but the opening title feels like the snare (or whatever it is - I'm not a musician) is mixed too high.
Regarding the s2 DVDs, what exactly was the deal with those? Since CBS was the one behind the Gold Box (which was only to be released a few months later), why did they feel the need to capitalize on the market for a standalone s2 set as well? I guess they did not use the color correction that Lynch chose for the GB (otherwise these would be REALLY redundant) but to my eye, the images look much closer to what we're used to now than the Artisan set does. I haven't done any sort of side-by-side comparison between them and it doesn't seem like DVDBeaver did either unfortunately. Be curious to see what how 3 SD versions of the series compare.
Sorry to go somewhat off-topic.

I ripped them as mp3's years ago. I zipped them up and uploaded them for those who want to hear them. A mod can edit the link out if they feel it is inappropriate to share.

I did love that the first set was in DTS. It's such a completely immersive experience compared to Dolby Digital.

Re: Season One Commentaries?
Dumb question from a non-audiophile - how does that work with headphones? I've been rewatching the Artisans on a computer, and playing with different audio options and can't seem to figure out which one is gonna be more satisfying for a whole episode.mtsi wrote:I did love that the first set was in DTS.

Re: Season One Commentaries?
It's been quite long since I listened to them but I remember them being quite great. Especially Lesli Linkas commentary was among the better ones but they were all good. It's definitely one of those moments when you as a TP fan should choose to not give a fuck about what Lynch thinks.StealThisCorn wrote:I was never able to listen to those and I know that Lynch purposefully didn't include a transfer of them over to the blu-ray because he "doesn't like commentaries".

Re: Season One Commentaries?
I will also add that listening to the commentaries as audio wouldn't seem to violate Lynch's no commentary rule so I don't really know why they couldn't have been audio-only features on the blu-ray.
Re: Season One Commentaries?
I guess the commentators too frequently refers to the scene at hand as simply 'this scene', so it would feel kind of silly with only the audio.LostInTheMovies wrote:I will also add that listening to the commentaries as audio wouldn't seem to violate Lynch's no commentary rule so I don't really know why they couldn't have been audio-only features on the blu-ray.

Not at all. I have actually NEVER watched them as commentary, I've only listened to them as audio and they worked fine for me.DirkG wrote:I guess the commentators too frequently refers to the scene at hand as simply 'this scene', so it would feel kind of silly with only the audio.LostInTheMovies wrote:I will also add that listening to the commentaries as audio wouldn't seem to violate Lynch's no commentary rule so I don't really know why they couldn't have been audio-only features on the blu-ray.
Plus were talking about a bonus feature that can simply be a curio and doesn't have to reach an exacting standard. It can just be a curio. Not every feature on there received the TLC of the Missing Pieces.
