Twin Peaks Is Awesome!

Okay....no spoilers.

Let me say it again...

NO SPOILERS!!!!!!!
But Twin Peaks is awesome. It is like reading a trashy romance/hardboiled detective novel, but in movies.

They're smart enough to parody themselves with the ongoing "invitation to love" soap opera thing, but they're also well read enough to use traditional literary technique in outlining their plot.

Example: there is a guy warning a lady about a prearranged "agreement". You know when the conversation starts that the incident has ill-intentions on the part of the guy, and the girl just wants to get away.

But, as the conversation progresses, the scene stops movement (while the dialog continues) and the guy's head is clearly framed between two horns, his head over the top of the deers head that would normally be there in the shot, giving him "horns" for the scene, implying some kind of devilish or evil influence. Such blatant hit you over to the head imagery, that in books comes off as forced, but in film comes off as "subtle".

I am just finishing season 1 and I am so incredibly impressed.

Tommy points to whoever can tell me the scene I'm referring to.

I just finished season one. I have one thing to say:

Twin peaks, you sonofabiscuit.

I love Twin Peaks so much...but watch out, it got cancelled prematurely in the second season so the ending is a little bit underwhelming....also, they pack a ton of extra plot stuff into the second season because they had like 3 seasons worth of stuff to work in and only one season left to do it.

That said, every episode is worth watching.

I don't remember...but are you talking about the 7th episode, IP?

We have a bar/club/live venue in Brisbane that is inspired by twin peaks.





Love the show, Lynch is always the bomb. He's releasing an ambient/electronic music album soon (maybe even already) which will be interesting.

Was a good show, I didn't have a chance to support it when it was on as I was in the Army overseas.  But I enjoyed the DVDs of it.  Always seems that way I miss em live only to watch them all at once on DVD when they are cancelled.   Rome, Heroes, Twin Peaks, Forever Knight and Serenity/Firefly were all that way to me and for the most part decent shows.
