  1. Thanks

    While the prequels chronologically occur before the OT, they were by their nature also reactive and referential to it.  Over the years I’ve tried it both ways and 1-6 doesn’t work for me.
     
    Same with LOTR/Hobbit, Indiana Jones, Twin Peaks, etc.  There’s no scenario for me in a Twin Peaks walkthrough where Fire Walk With Me would work well first.  It’s also a nice tonal segue into The Return, which is darker, uglier, and weirder than FWWM.
     
    If anything, on a Twin Peaks rewatch I’d add Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, and Inland Empire between FWWM and The Return.  Even though they’re not part of the series, they work in the TP->The Return flow.

    Watching the movie first is a bad idea IMO.  It's the perfect bridge between the original series and the new series, since it springs off the events and characters from the original series but introduces a new style and tone that the revival series mostly used.  Also, as much as it is primarily a prequel showing Lara Palmer's life before the pilot episode, it is ALSO a continuation of events that happens at the end of season 2, so really only makes sense to watch it after watching both seasons of the original show.  The Missing Pieces is simply a collection of deleted scenes presented as one giant chunk, that you can choose to watch after the movie if you want, or skip it entirely.  Or if you are Alex Cremers, you can watch it thinking you are watching the actual movie, and then complain how confusing it was.  Personally we did not watch it and had no problem following the revival series.

    Romão, I'm glad that you like LOCAL HERO. It's one of two films that kick-started my love affair with all things Scotland. My love for the film has grown over the years to the extent that I find myself living in a little village not too dissimilar to the one in the film.
     
    Fun fact: the village scenes were filmed 100 miles north of Aberdeen, on the east coast, but the scenes on "Ben's Beach", were filmed on the west coast, near Oban.

    That is true for the first time you watch this, but for subsequent walkthroughs, I've always started with FIRE and on from there.

    You watched it the right way.
     
    Although technically FWWM is set before Season 1, it makes not-so-oblique references to the Season 2 finale, which won't make sense unless you watch the series first.

    Just finished Season 2. What a cliffhanger to get canceled on!

    Still moves me deeply, I still quite can't put my finger on it. Maybe I just watched it at the precise right time, but I always respond intensely to it whenever I watch it

    This.
     
    It's typical mid-90s Jimmy; derivative, but a quite good effort, nonetheless. It's far superior to the film that it was written for.

    Saw the film once. Overlong and boring for the most part.
     
    The OST is fun in occasional Thor-sized chunks; I don't need more.
