Jay 37,476 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 OK cool, so I did forget a detail from the original show: that Michal J Anderson's character was supposed to be Mike's arm, and not an entirely unique character. Too bad him and Lynch couldn't work out their differences so he could return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Had the time today so jumped on the chance to start in on this. Almost done with season 1. Dig it so far, but the music is largely godawful and repetitive, at least the "emotional" piece is. I do like the slinky jazzy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only talking about one of my favourite scores of all time, what triggered my interest in film music and what inspired me to write a novel. I think this is the first time I've heard someone describe the TWIN PEAKS music as 'godawful' and 'repetitive' (well, it IS repetitive, in the sense that it's built around leitmotifs for characters and places and largely also works as a 'mood setter' when it is not -- but repetitive in a good sense). But hey -- there's gotta be someone who dislikes this too, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It's extremely sparse thus far, 8 episodes in. But there have been highlights. I like many wish the music was more prominent, but it still might yet be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nothing has yet lived up to the promise of the music in the video Romao posted last night, but it's a minor quibble. I'm surprised it bugs me given my fondness for that late 80s/early 90s sound, but it seems to work against the atmosphere of the rest of the show - again, at least just the love theme, which turns some scenes into absurd melodrama. Intentional? Maybe, maybe not, but incredibly dated either way. I'm really loving the show as a whole though. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man, did you watch it during the original run? Maybe it's tied in with that, but from my couch here in 2017 it's just a little off. I'm feeling like the real Twin Peaks vibe, for me, is going to be the brushed cymbal/walking bass stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It's one of those 90s aesthetic things that you start cringing at but eventually come to love. Laura's theme is a classic. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think my conditioning to accept its omnipresence is what makes the James and Evelyn subplot bearable. The music forces me to submit.

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Just a heads up: apparently score cue titles are up to their usual mischief again, and one of Badalamenti's for the most recent episode possibly reveals something spoilersome in relation to a key character. I don't know what it is and I don't want to find out either, so please be prudent about bringing it up here if you guys must discuss whatever it is, thanks.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm watching the second half of Fire Walk With Me tonight. Did the first half yesterday.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well, that's interesting. I've just had a complete turnaround about I feel about that film. I dunno, maybe being a little bit older, or watching it a second time already knowing how it plays out (and without the disappointment of hopeful expectation), or indeed just having it fill in blanks from The Return... well it was a very satisfying surprise to see it again with "wiser" eyes. Or perhaps it's just a simple case that what once felt disjointed and confusing to me now feels like nothing more unusual than a straight forward episode of Coronation Street - when compared to the all out mind fuck that is season 3! Sheryl Lee's tragic portrayal of a haunted Laura Palmer is fascinatingly insightful, and Fire Walk With Me is simply essential viewing for anybody interested in the complete Twin Peaks lore.

KK 3,307 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The added elements to the mythology are interesting, but Sheryl Lee is the heart of the film, and she's the one who sells it. Like I said, I like it in parts, but as a whole, it's just very messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 That's how I thought of it back when I first watched it years ago, but this time I surprisingly found it to be well put together. Fairly conventional, even. Anyway, I wonder if Special Agent Chester Desmond will ever show up in series 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,620 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yeah, it's a good idea. I've seen the film 3-4 times, the last being 3-4 years ago, but might as well use the opportunity now that there's a break. For some reason, I didn't rewatch it a few months back, as I was going through my TP Gold Box in preparation of the new season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Kiefer Sutherland still feels redundant though doesn't he. I'm guessing he had more reason to exist in The Missing Pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
