I watched John Carpenter's Starman for the first time in decades. The alien has instances where he just repeats the words of people. Then he goes to Las Vegas and manipulates two slot machines to win a ton of cash. It's probably just a coincidence, but you never know. I've been rewatching a bunch o...

and also goes out of his way to call Carlton Cuse’s Nash Bridges—the show which also gave Damon Lindelof his start—“really average”...he might well be right, I’ve never seen it, but it kinda feels like a calculated jab). He also comes across as rather disdainful of The X-Files, rather surprisingly....

Hi all. Just thought I'd start a thread to discuss the coronavirus since it's scary and it's now worldwide. If you need to talk, please post here. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/erasing-stigma/202003/controlling-coronavirus-anxiety Right now, a possible Season 4 seems a distant concern...

Done

I wonder if Bob Iger resigning as CEO might clear the way for Disney to pick up Twin Peaks?

Agent Earle wrote:Please, Bob... Not another boxset release that just rehashes the old stuff. I have enough existing TP releases to last me a couple of lifetimes.

But this would be the ULTIMATE Super Mega Platinum release LOL

Twin Peaks Worldwide is not credible or worth discussing. That may be so, but their viral campaign to "Bring Back Twin Peaks" in the mid-10s -- when everybody else was still proclaiming the property's death -- was uncanilly visionary, I'd say. I think it’s completely different people runn...

Not much to discuss until we can read the book ourselves.

Lol. I just checked out, the significance of Graceland and it seems it’s Elvis Presley’s estate. Is that an odd location to host such a thing? Trivia time. Did You Know...? Russ Tamblyn helped Elvis practice the Jailhouse Rock choreography. Charlotte Stewart had a deep talk with Elvis while shootin...

Just watched the penultimate episode of The Good Place . The gang finally ascend into the Good Place (in other words, heaven) and on their way into a welcome party they pass bowls of labelled goodies. The first says: Energy You Had When You Were Twelve. The second says: Fully Understand the Meaning...

Do you want to take a stab yet at what it 'means'?

Mr. Reindeer wrote:Just occurred to me that the talking capuchin monkey very much resembles the chap from FWWM who whispers, “Judy”! I don’t think there’s a serious connection, but one of those fun recurring Lynch motifs.

Yes, that hit me right away.

For me, an area where I feel the fear/mystery was lacking was with regard to the Doppelganger. BOB/Leland in the original series was a perpetrator of cosmic evils (incest, murder, rape). Evil Coop in the Return looked like a drug runner from Scarface - particularly in the Buenos Aires photo Albert ...

I was actually thinking the same thing.

Note that Veronica Mars was actually able to pull this off successfully for its second season, before ditching the formula for its third and final season. So it definitely could have been done- a new murder, a new mystery... And it worked again for Veronica Mars' fourth and hopefully not final seas...
