“and yet he still continued to molest and assault others years after that scandal.”
It’s been twenty years since those disturbing allegations from the Apt Pupil set. I have admired some of Singer’s work but it is far past time for him to face serious investigation for these recurring allegations and to face consequences.
I don’t comment here much anymore, but I would just like to note long time Bryan Singer fanboy Alien Jesus has been noticeably absent on the last several Singer posts. I don’t know how to react not seeing that starfucker cast doubt on every rape victim and chastise us for sullying the good name of this CLEARLY…
I hope this one sticks.
Not to mention Bobby, who had already undergone a redemption before the show even started getting closure that his father died doing important work that may have saved countless lives/helped defeat evil and whatnot. The horrifying thing about Twin Peaks isn’t that bad things happen it’s that they often happen to good…
For my money, TP:TR’s last 20 minutes are the most authentically nightmarish scenes that Lynch has ever filmed - not just unsettling and wrong but unsettling and wrong in a quiet and invisible way - and it’s a perfect ending. The whole point of the season, the punchline to the title, is that you can’t go back. It’s a…
“Well...Cooper got out of the lodge and they all managed to beat BOB...but then maybe all of reality has been rewritten now? Marge, I don’t understand. Is that a happy ending or a sad ending?”
I almost second that, but I’d say The Handmaid’s Tale was good enough not to pale in comparison. Also I’ve been catching up on The Leftovers and that’s an excellent show.
I think Laura’s death and the Black Lodge represent all the evil mankind does. That’s why the nuclear-explosion-as-entryway-for-evil worked so well in episode 8.
But didn’t we still get some of that love/joy/redemption? Big Ed, Norma, and Nadine’s resolution, Freddie finding his destiny, the Mitchum brothers finding their heart, the Jones’ reunited (with a hopefully better Dougie). There was some light with the darkness.
I’ve been doing that all summer!
Oh yeah, definitely. I do enjoy that about Lynch’s work: the wacky sweetness without being saccharine and a really beautiful perspective of simple, pure love, be it like Ed and Norma’s or coffee. The underside of that is the always-already presence of the horrific/uncanny, like an overripe fruit. I’ve been thinking a…
Do you know that sensation you get when you have so many different competing thoughts, feelings and opinions that you basically feel paralyzed and unable to articulate any of them?
While I’ve already seen most every episode twice and I’m in the beginning of a rewatch marathon, it just occurred to me that Mr. C doesn’t know who Judy/Jaio Dai is?
At the end of part 17 I thought to myself that Twin Peaks actually has a lot of recognizable logic to it... then came part 18. It’s a suiting horrific end to this surreal masterpiece.
I partially disagree - whilst horror has always been a large part of Twin Peaks it was many, many other things as well, and celebrated love and joy and taking pleasure in the simplest things. Redemption was also a big element, so I was kind of hoping for a happier ending. Or at least not one quite as bleak as we got.
Th…
Yeah, I am fine if this is where Lynch leave it, but given the unlikely gift of these 18 hours I would be right there if he decided to go another round or two.
Whenever Twin Peaks isn’t on the air, the other shows should ask ‘Where is Twin Peaks?’ Or ‘Why isn’t Twin Peaks showing right now?’
ME: tolerance and peace is the best way to go through life. we shouldn’t infringe on somebody who’s just doing what they want
