I mean, I get that it doesn't have the same vibe as the original show and I myself would like to spend more time with our beloved characters (Honestly I want a little bit of a Norma story line, I am going to be so pissed if she's still waiting around for Big Ed). But like, that's just not what this is. I personally

I think that works. Besides, I don't think you can really have an origin for non-linear creatures.

For people who are disappointed that manmade technology created BOB as a sort of extra-dimensional Godzilla, I think there is another interpretation that may be valid. A few episodes back Naomi Watts character says "We are living in a dark dark age" taken that David Lynch is a student of TM and reads the Upanishads, I

You know, I said this downthread and I"ll say it again. This show is doing a great job in the diversity department in depicting people in late middle age or who are straight up elderly. It treats them with respect, dignity and their own lives. They may be a bit more frail, but they aren't weak. They are still

You're right. Also I think that egg that hatched the frog/insect was also a kernal in that Gamonbozia.

You're saying a t.v. show that is the equivalent of a bundle of acid is a bad thing? You and I…different priorities friend. I think the problem right here might be that you think this is "dramatic" television or "narrative" television. It isn't. Its surrealism. Your mileage may vary with that.

I just want to say, I'm really digging your comments on this show.

Do you know what I think is a constructive way of dealing with this problem and one I plan on doing myself? I am going to buy on dvd or streaming Flying Lotus' film "Kuso" when it becomes available. That is a surreal abstract film made by a Person of Color. I will vote with my dollar because I want to encourage that.

I mean, I did that once and the person sorta kinda ended up agreeing with me and if you keep digging through my comment history you'll find I actually do have concerns about diversity in films.

That's fair! Thank you for not enjoying it and not being a dick about it.

I think that's why they changed the name to The Nine Inch Nails, in this universe NIN doesn't exist and The NIN is just some local band or band from a few towns over.

Maybe Evil Cooper without BOB will just be…Cooper?

Also, that's a load of rubbish that queerness in Lynch's work means dark underbelly. One thing everyone gets fucking wrong, this twit included, is that there is a dark underbelly. It is about how these things are totally intertwined and through that spiritual transcendence can be achieved. In Lynch's work the

Maybe Lynch is not depicting minorities but one of the things I haven't seen much on is the fact that Lynch is depicting people who are elderly or in late middle age, in many cases who are ill. These characters show skill and resilience and although frail, do not let that frailty become a weakness. In a country with

When people say ::random strange image:: is like Lynch. It always shows how un-lynch like it is. Even David Foster Wallace is guilty of this.

Those woodsmen taking BOB out of evil Cooper reminded me of the creatures in Begotten. It looked like evil coops eyes weren't complete black when he sat up. I wonder if now he will be his own person. I love how David Lynch just tossed down an uncompromising avant garde film in the middle mainstream television/culture.

I was sort of kind of getting okay with the idea of hte Blade Runner sequel, I like Ryan Gosling and I like Denis Villeneuve. But after rewatching Blade Runner tonight. Man that trailer irritates me. We have eccentric bad guy in Jared Leto, character stating theme as dialogue, annoying artificial lights from motor

Rewatched it today with a friend who has never seen it. Its good. Its very pretty AND it has a good story.

I actually watched the Final Cut tonight with a friend who has never seen the film in any form. From what I was able to catch, 1. Roy says "Father" much more explicitly, rather than "Fuck" 2. More shots of Pris's dead corpse 3. Dancing topless women outside of Taffy's bar 4. Sebastian's apartment is bright when

I agree, frankly, David Lynch doesn't give a crap about how the media perceives his work, he just knows that he enjoys getting lost in what he makes and hopes that will speak to people.
