Please count me in that group as well , this episode was fantastic.
Well, FWIW, I thought this one was better than the last two.

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

Once again, in response to Putontheglasses, I agree that quite a few of the positive reviews on RT do seem lukewarm. But once again I would expect that from such a show, where people have access to only the first couple parts to review and are unsure of how to process its weirdness or pacing or plo...

Re: Twin Peaks Return: The Profoundly Disappointed Support Group (SPOILERS)

About all the Dougie thing, I think Lynch wanted to make his own "Mr Hulot" character like in Jacques Tati movies. Lynck never hide his admiration about Tati. https://thefilmstage.com/trailer/david-lynch-talks-jacques-tatis-legacy-as-trailer-for-restored-playtime-arrives/ http://www.taste...

Re: Part 5 (SPOILERS)

Gripes: - I fast-forwarded the Dougie scenes. Too long and pointless now. While it can appear frustrating, especially for anyone not into Jacques Tati-type humor I'm pretty sure this material is the heart of The Return. That doesn't make it enjoyable to watch. Agreed. I love Tati (and I love Being ...

Re: Part 5 (SPOILERS)

Knepper and Belushi are very good threatening heavies which is no surprise but I really do hope they get more and better use out of Sizemore. Prior to this appearance I imagined him in an ultimate heavy capacity, this series' Frank Booth, but his character so far seems far more mild than I expected....

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

I think it's routine for Showtime. They usually do it with the first episode of every season of their shows. I was actually surprised it took them this long to post the TP premiere but I assume it's timed to stoke interest.

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

I know that Lynch and Frost felt strongly about this not being a binge-show, but that philosophy feels somewhat at odds with the '18-hour movie' structure. If the show had more in common with traditional episodic TV, with each week offering a series of setups/payoffs, A-stories and B-stories, etc.,...

Not all Moby is great (he can be kind of scattershot as he's restless and experimental) but some is and some is even phenomenally so (such as Living , for instance, which I consider among the best pieces I've ever heard--a marvelous, even thrilling build and development). Frankly, as a fan, I can sa...

And I like Dune most of all which, I guess, is just about the most heretical thing you can say as a purported Lynch fan (Heretic of Dune?).

pour one out for Arbogast, wherever he/she is. They definitely made this board a ton of fun to read over the past year or so. Whatever happened to Arbogast? Is he/she ever coming back?

Re: One reason to worry about the quality of Season 3

My own concerns are much simpler and more basic/fundamental. As I've mentioned here a few times before, I'm not a big fan of later Lynch (post- Lost Highway ) so that does give me pause. Beyond that, though perhaps related to it, for awhile now I've been mulling over whether the profound level of se...
