Re: Showtime Re-broadcast of Original Series

The low visual quality is surprising considering how much better it looks elsewhere on YouTube. Still incredibly exciting though! We're almost here...

Re: NON SPOILERS: Twin Peaks: Season 3 on Showtime Thread

Woah, I actually like the colors in the teaser Fair enough! It's a matter of taste, I guess. I'm certainly not beholden to the look of the original show by the way. FWWM has a very different feel, and I certainly like the way that looks well enough. I just hope that the revival will have a distinct...

Re: NON SPOILERS: Twin Peaks: Season 3 on Showtime Thread

I really liked the familiar warm color-grading. :) Along with Angelo's music, this will definitely suck me in completely from the beginning! Interesting you say this, as the absence of the typical Twin Peaks colour grading (or anything interesting in its place) is one of the aspects of the teaser t...

It was Ponds in the original series and Pons in the book. It's another deliberate discrepancy between book and show.

It's always been Pons to Frost: https://mobile.twitter.com/mfrost11/sta ... 2233426944

Re: The visual aesthetic of the new Twin Peaks

I wouldn't worry about that. The Amira will look basically identical to the Alexa, which is a really beautiful camera that gets very very close to the film look (I'm hard pressed to see a difference). I hope you're right. I love LostintheMovies' idea that this season will capture flavours from Lync...

Re: The visual aesthetic of the new Twin Peaks

With all due respect, it's mostly sentimentality that brings about that view. I know, because I still get those goosebumps too, the same as I do with vinyl, even though uncompressed digital is better. In part, it's because we love the analogue imperfections of film stock, the same way we love the h...

Re: The visual aesthetic of the new Twin Peaks

It seems like for Lynch the point of film is how beautiful it looks, and the point of digital is how easy it is to use. With that in mind, rather than chose something that balances both maybe he would rather err on one extreme or the other. This makes me very nervous. If Lynch was arguing for the b...

Re: The visual aesthetic of the new Twin Peaks

It won't necessarily look all that different. Digital material can be made look like pretty much what ever you want it to. Yes, the look could really pushed to an extreme if they wanted that, but it could also look practically indistinguishable from either the series or the movie. Maybe, but I'm sk...

The visual aesthetic of the new Twin Peaks

Hi everyone, I thought it might be interesting to start a thread for discussing the look of the new series. One of the biggest reasons I'm anticipating a trailer so anxiously is to finally get a glimpse of the new season's style of cinematography etc, as I am sure it will be very different from prev...

Re: Twin Peaks re-reviews

For sure. One of Lynch's greatest assets is his way of taking potentially cornball moments and committing to them with such intensity that they somehow become transcendent, e.g. Laura Dern's Robin speech in Blue Velvet, or the scenes between James and Donna in the pilot (the likes of which often fel...

Re: Twin Peaks re-reviews

Yes, those AVClub reviews are much better, and at the very least their pan of FWWM had a degree of thoughtfulness about it. If I remember correctly the writer wrote a much more in depth piece on the movie and the missing pieces, I'll have to root it out. Even though he didn't like the film he at lea...

Re: Twin Peaks re-reviews

I suppose what's particularly aggravating in this case though is that these people aren't simply recollecting a vague popular notion of the show, but actually watching it episode by episode. It utterly astounds me that anyone can watch an installment of the show directed by Lynch and simply write it...

Re: Twin Peaks re-reviews

Sorry to bump a very old thread, but I've been reading the old Badass Digest (now 'Birth Movies Death') recaps of Twin Peaks and they've been making me so angry! Even the one person who continually defends the show seems to do so rather halfheartedly, and no-one even seems interested in examining th...

Re: Suggestions for episode 17 - 28 recap

Haha, fair enough! I can't say I agree with you though. While I think the show does regain a sense of narrative direction in the episodes you mention (and with it the sense of propulsive energy that drove season 1), I can't agree that it was a particularly fruitful direction to go in. Aside from the...

Suggestions for episode 17 - 28 recap

Hi everyone, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Now, I know that things are going pretty crazy with regards to the Showtime rumor mill, but I'd be really grateful if anyone could give me some advice about re-watching the show with a friend. Basically, I'm introducing Twin Peaks to them for the fir...
