Maybe several seasons as a cast member on the Cleveland Show have helped Lynch become a much better actor! (I actually have never seen the Cleveland Show. Is the prospect of Lynch as a cartoon character worth it?)
Every knock-knock joke is to PROTECT THIS FAMILY!!!
Allegedly, MacLaclan is the only individual aside from Frost and Lynch who got the complete script. So it probably helps that he's performing with a complete knowledge of the entire story whereas every other actor only knows tiny fragments. Also fascinating that Kyle Maclachlan is the only credited starring cast…
Lynch will find a way to get Philip Jeffries into the show, of that I'm certain. He may have to show Jeffries has somehow transformed into a deformed, tap dancing eraserhead baby monster, but Jeffries will show up somehow.
You'll probably get your wish. Laura Dern recently off handedly mentioned that she shares a few scenes with Kyle Maclachlan and they discuss birds in at least one of them.
I just assume that Disney kind of owes Jon Favreau now. Not just because he kicked off this whole Marvel thing, but because he somehow made Jungle Book an entertaining and successful film and is now doing a Lion King movie. Might be some sort of deal where he has a small part in spider-man and gets on the poster for…
Happy Hogan is the key to all this (because he's a funnier character than we've had before)
Diane mailed Cooper some ear plugs to help with some noisy hotel guests back in season 1. She's probably a real person. The ambiguity is ideal but I'd happily sacrifice that if we get Laura Dern as Diane. Dern is pretty much Lynch's greatest muse and it would a wonderfully fitting end for Twin Peaks and probably…
What's even more baffling is that, in Injustice 2 in particular, practically every character is given a lot of dignity and respect. Grodd is pissed off at planet earth for being jerks, half of the secret society are getting revenge for damage to the planet or to their personal lives, staunch evil Superman supporters…
I can kind of forgive evil Superman a little (he has good grounds for being messed up and the first game had the proper superman shut him down) but Wonder Woman's unexplained evil is just baffling. Particularly now, so close to her hopefully great solo movie. Injustice 2 really goes all out to show Wonder Woman as an…
I only read the first few issues of the new comic, but I'm happy that DC is making Harley her own wonderful thing and not just a creepy tool of the Joker. Paul Dini always portrayed Joker and Harley as a funny Looney Toons partnership, but particularly now, you just can't do that without it coming off as really…
Tom Taylor was kind of trapped by the end point that first game established. Netherrealm, for all their amazing effort, didn't really give dictator superman all that much thought. Thus a smart writer like Mr Taylor is forced to avoid logical solutions (like batman having a heart to heart and superman deciding not to…
What's so wonderfully staggering about the alternate costumes (reverse-flash, mr freeze, vixen) is that they all have their own voices and interactions unique purely to them. Reverse-flash alone has lots of wonderfully goofy bad guy dialogue with countless characters and many of it specifically aimed at certain…
I know Harley has always been bubbly and funny, but Taylor really makes her work. I was surprised when replaying the first injustice story mode to find how bland she is. Thankfully the new game gives her some more jolly fun (even if she's fairly pointless in the narrative)
It's lovely that the new game openly takes a lot from Tom Taylor's amazing work from the comics. Black Canary, Green Arrow, Dr Fate and of course, Harley, all feel like they're directly carrying on from the comic. Batman and superman even directly reference a key scene from the very first issue of the comic.
Some of the cgi is a little dodgy, but on the whole all of the make up and design is top notch. I'm also really happy Lynch got back his cinematographer from Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive. Inland Empire is a great movie but I was a little concerned Lynch would carry over that movie's grungy look.
That's hilariously crazy. I kind of feel bad for poor Lazenby now. I guess it would have been easier to assume that Bond would never last back in the 1960's. I recently watched his sole movie for the first time and it was surprisingly not terrible.
I like to assume all of the writing process was like this. Mark Frost no doubt contributes a staggering amount but the truly memorable crazy stuff seems to fully emerge from Lynch alone.
I first took note of him in Sucker Punch (mainly for his "Love is the drug" song in the end credits). Inside Llewellyn Davis is what cemented my manly love for Oscar Isaac. Everything since then has been golden.
