Default Twin Peaks

Anyone remember this, the missus was going on about it for ages so got her the box set and watched the pilot, cant see what she was on about tbh, anyone a fan ?

My only moment was wondering where I had heard the incidental music before, its Moby's "Go".

Is it worth watching more or should I avoid it like I did in 1990 ?

Yes I remember it. It used to be on Bravo years ago, good, but very strange program, hard to follow.

On a lighter note "Twin Peaks" is what chocolate o brian has called me when he was upset with me on another post about Non-Turbo's.

Bless his heart!

Only saw a few, and was usually baffled by it.

'Go' was a Twin Peaks sample :nods:

Remembering from 1990, the first few were sort-of-alright but it became more and more random from then on. By the end it was nonsense, making 'Mulholland Drive' look sensible and understandable...

As said by others it is by Mr Lynch, so it's going to be a little odd.
I quite like it, always thought there were more episodes than there actually are. Pretty sure it was cancelled before there was any real resolution to the end (No, I'm not talking about Who Killed Laura Palmer, we knew who that/they were/was)

If you like it, Fire Walk With Me is fairly good as well, still waiting for the directors cut of that, which is meant to be even longer and more convoluted

Got the gold box set when it first came on DVD , awesome series , you must also watch the movie fire walk with me , because it's the prequel , & it shows you the time leading up to Laura palmers death ,, 10/10 for me ,,

Some interesting duality there, as it's Maddy being killed by Leland/BOB, in the same manner as they killed Laura, and Maddy looks very much like her cousin Laura.

Oh, and on another note, the music in TP isn't too bad either, probably not to all tastes, but suits the show very well.

I loved the show the first time it was on - not rewatched it since though.

Excellent series from an excellent director/writer. Years ahead of its time!

Same actress that played Laura in a wig!

The music was lovely: well worth getting the following two albums by Julee Cruise

Floating into the night
The voice of love

Both contain tracks from the show and the movie.

The track at the end of that clip I put up is a song called 'The World Spins'

David Lynch's site has turned into a music portal, there is a rather nice Twin Peaks Archive collection on there, about 70 odd tracks from the show, quite a lot that wasn't released on the soundtrack cd's.

Cheers for the album recommendations, I'll have a listen.

Superb series but watching of FWWM is definitely recommended. I have pretty much all of Lynch's 'mainstream' stuff and enjoy it all.

Inland Empire anyone?

The title certainly conjures up the odd bit of sinful imagination!

they (american mini series) all start well, then they quicky run into the "**** they've commissioned another series, what the fvck do we do now" territory and quickly descend into the absurd

a single good idea -- stretched to a multi million dollar payday over 48 weeks
