Also in the overhead shots of the crowd in the end there briefly appeared a woman who looked so much like Sheryl Lee that I wondered for a split second if we were actually getting a third Palmer cousin. Took me another, more careful look to see it wasn't her after all. But that would've been cool.

Yay Twin Peaks is back to owning full time again. This was as delightfully unexpected and perfect an hour as Part 11. It also proves again to me that Lynch may indulge in Part 12-esque longueurs all he wants, but at the end of the day this show works best when things, you know, happen. The weirdness is more effective…

The Winkies scene in Mulholland Drive has been my go-to example of broad daylight being creepy as hell ever since I saw it. When you think you're supposed to feel safe watching this, and you feel the opposite.

Yeah this is the big question after this episode.

For creepiest I'd go with either Mystery Man from Lost Highway or Leland smiling into the mirror in "Episode 14".

Played by Laura Harring.

MD and LH are my #1 and #2. But then, I sorta kinda couldn't stand Blue Velvet. I guess Lynch has had a long and singular enough trajectory that even for a lot of people who are fans overall there's one or two commonly-praised films that just don't work for whatever reason.

All this time I thought, even if you dislike 500 Days you gotta admit it had enough inventive filmmaking choices and memorably executed sequences ("You Make My Dreams", Expectations vs Reality, etc) to distinguish Webb from anonymous guys who didn't approach their own cute indie debuts with nearly the same amount of…

Lost Highway is the biggest omission here easily. I would argue it's Lynch's most tightly constructed and controlled film, and possibly his most frightening. I got to see it on the big screen a few months ago, with sound turned WAY up, and it was one of the most hypnotic cinematic experiences I've ever had.

I had that exact moment with The King's Speech and The Social Network. And then, just as I'd started to get a little invested again, with Birdman and Boyhood.

Forget it Eg, it's Twin Peaks.

I couldn't stop laughing but in a "Yeah, you show 'em, Lynch!" kind of way. Always loved that scene in the original - the song is the self-absorbed teenage notion of love reduced to its bare essence and the longer it goes on, the more it becomes both weirdly moving and kind of unsettling (the repetition of "together……

Maurice is a lovely film. It's really cool that Ivory is still active at 89 and wrote the script for this, given the rapturous reception it's a comeback of sorts even if he didn't end up directing it himself.

I'm happy he's getting such warm notices for The Florida Project. Rooting for him to have his JK Simmons-esque Oscar moment next year.

"On January 19th, John Lurie and Willem Dafoe died of starvation."

Came here to say this. There's no fucking way any 86-year-old talks like this.

Emily did say in the review that it was actually Belushi's acting in the desert scene that made her like his character better than anything before it. That B grade remains a mystery.

She also steals Welles' The Trial early on.

Yeah I don't see how she was any worse than any other returning cast member. Certainly felt like 25-years-later Audrey, too, even if not a version of her we would have liked to see.

The guy at the diner asks for "Bing" who in another episode was played by some 20-something dude.
