It's coming.....

Re: It is happening again
 

How long till I find out what this is about?

Re: It is happening again
 

Did you find out yet?:sneaky:

Damn fine coffee, cherry pie, the owls are not what they seem...

Re: It is happening again
 

Yippee

Re: It is happening again
 

Thought it had already been and gone?

OMG I can't wait

Re: It is happening again
 

Really? I must have had some kind of premonition. I would have quite happily put money on it having been shown a couple of years ago.

Re: It is happening again
 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Re: It is happening again
 

That was probably when they announced the sequel and then it was in doubt and then it was back on again. It was quite protracted.

It got a lot of news coverage at the time...It was talked about on BE too.

I watched the extended part one from season one again tonight. Simply fabulous...and let's not forget scary.

Re: It is happening again
 

I'm really looking forward to this in a slightly unhealthily obsessive way. Was a huge fan of the original series and visited many of the filming locations during a trip to Washington state in '99.

The new series is being streamed live on CraveTV in Canada, for those of us without a cable TV subscription (Crave is $10/month and they offer a month's free trial).

Re: It is happening again
 

I've just done the first 11 episodes from before in the last three days. I can't watch it without snapping my fingers to the soundtrack. :rofl:

I'd forgotten just how many scary and funny moments there were.

Re: It is happening again
 

So I finished up the originals a few days ago, topped it off with Fire Walk With Me (again) and one of the "about Twin Peaks" from a couple of years ago....all set.

Downloaded the double as well as the 3rd and 4th parts this morning. Watched this afternoon/evening.

It gets a thumbs up from me.

It begins a little harder than we're used to but soon gets quirky and funny as well as mysterious.

Re: It is happening again
 

Agree. I thought it was wonderful, beguiling, well paced. It manages the trick of feeling very modern and fresh yet part of the original.

In particular, the first half hour of Episode 3 was quite something.

Re: It is happening again
 

I would have loved to see it, I remember the original really well. I should probably try to see the original again, when I have a few moments;)

But I don't get Showtime, so seeing this new series will have to wait until it arrives on Netflix or Amazon :(

Re: It is happening again
 

Ahh ok - thanks for the warning. I once spent 3 hours in a hotel lobby in Newark sorting out a Swedish laptop for a couple stranded, like I was, by that Icelandic volcano lock-down. They clicked on the 'you have a virus, click here to fix' message and locked themselves out of their PC. So I am very wary of clicking on anything that looks even remotely dodgy....

Re: It is happening again
 

Last night I discovered there are Twin Peaks 'things' to buy, including this beauty, a key fob for Coop's room. :thumbup:

You can buy a 'log' pillow :lol: and a red room shower curtain

My key fob is ordered.

Re: It is happening again
 

I missed the whole Twin Peaks thing when it was first on (was vaguely aware of some hullabaloo, but did not watch any TV in those days). Is it worth watching the original series or just start with the new series that is coming out? Would the original one be dated? Any opinions/advice...Bristol...?

Re: It is happening again
 

It's an absolute must. The new ones won't make any sense at all without it. Some might say it doesn't make any sense anyway :lol: but that's part of the fun.

I really don't get the whole Who killed Laura Palmer thing, there was just so much more.

A lot of people loved it when it was first on (many more missed it too) and some felt it lost its way a bit.

I rewatched them all (binge watching) in the week leading up to the new ones and then saw Fire Walk With Me - the movie that covered the events leading up to the TV series. That's a must see too - once you are into the series - because it ties up a few things and also because there are things in the new ones you won't know without FWWM.

I don't think it is dated at all. For two reasons.

There are no computers in it. You see things now with great hefty monitors and that dates it. House brick mobile phones do something similar.

There's probably a word or expression in the movie business to describe something contemporary - or even futuristic - but with 'old' stuff in it...vintage cars, 50s film noir trench coats and things.

Twin Peaks (the town and the show) is a bit like that. At a crime scene you'll see one of those older cameras with the enormous flash.

My stepdaughter and mother in law are watching the originals and I pop into the room and watch bits or whole episodes with them that I saw only two weeks ago (4th or 5th time?) and I laugh, shiver etc all over again even though I've seen the episodes from the new one.

If you do try it, you need to get beyond the first episode otherwise you may just think you're watching a kooky soap opera.

You don't need to be a David Lynch fan. I enjoyed Blue Velvet for example but Eraserhead went completely over my head.

Re: It is happening again
 

Oh yeah, Blue Velvet..... creepy!

Thanks for the pointers, hopefully will get round to seeing it at some point.

Re: It is happening again
 

I'm not sure I'd want this on my bed. My dreams are weird enough as it is. :rofl:

Did you see the log cushion? Do you think it will tell me something?

Pillow talk? :lol:

Re: It is happening again
 

I ordered a clock for the kitchen too

Re: It is happening again
 

Omg, Fire Walk With Me has some scary bits!

Re: It is happening again
 

Why are there two agent Coopers?

Re: It is happening again
 

Holy crap - I thought that I was a nerd watching Dr Who...

Re: It is happening again
 

End of the original series it appeared as if Coop came out of the Black Lodge possessed by 'Bob' - as shown when we saw Bob's reflection in the bathroom mirror. But a little bit before that, when the man from another place (:rofl:) was speaking (with subtitles for the backwardish speech) he used the word doppelganger.

At one point you can see two Coops running down in between the red curtains. The good Coop was stuck inside the Black Lodge, the bad one got out.

Re: It is happening again
 

Dyes but two are out, the good one is still in the black Lodge, Bobcoop is in gaol and CasinoCoop is vacant.

I believe the idea is that

Re: It is happening again
 

So last night's episode (Part 8) was... um.... basically an avant-garde experimental film smuggled somehow onto American cable TV.

Which isn't a criticism: it was a beautiful and absorbing hour, one of the most captivating things I've ever seen. But it'll probably be the most polarising episode of the entire series.

All I can picture is the Showtime executives watching this and wondering quite how they'd ever been convinced to give David Lynch a multi-million pound budget and full creative control.

Re: It is happening again
 

I've not seen it yet, it's downloaded for later.

But I think the reason there's been so much good TV over the last few years - especially from America - is that the execs are no longer solely concerned with ratings and the product (for want of a better word) is allowed to develop to its potential rather than the formula of, say, CBS output.

They may still ponder the point you made but it's no longer the be all, end all it used to be. :thumbup:

Re: It is happening again
 

As a fellow superfan I'll be interested to hear what you make of it.

Re: It is happening again
 

Got a light? :rofl:

"My god, it’s full of stars" immediately occurred to me with similarities to more than just 2001's star gate bit too. :nod:

All things considered the episode fairly flew by.

I'm thinking a little research is needed and further viewing - which I'll get when my stepdaughter decides to begin catch-up.

Re: It is happening again
 

It's funny...all the episode recap blogs (including the Guardian) have viewers coming out with all sorts of theories as to who people may be and what such and such must mean.
