Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

I don't think the Jade casting was unfortunate. She's awesome and she's a great character. That in isolation isn't the issue. Neither is the cast being mostly white, I already said that too has artistic merit. But in context it's ill-judged. I would say that in context, it isn't ill-judged either. ...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

Your notion that "the left" is the enemy of art and free speech is completely bonkers and without historical merit. I have the distinct impression that people who are passionate about "diversity" (also in the realm of arts), are almost always (somwhat) left. I don''t know if thi...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

No, not at all (as I explained at the time). If Lynch has a passion for diversity, that's great. It could reflect in his work in a magnificent way. If however, he is under pressure to cast minorities (because we live in absurd times where someone who is not into "diversity politics" and ob...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

It’s totally fair to suggest that a more diverse cast would be a good thing though. As an opinion, that shouldn’t be more political than a person saying they’d like more focus on the town of Twin Peaks or the Odessa-verse. Diversity is not actually a major concern for me as a viewer, but people sho...

Nobody deserves representation in art. Blacks don't and whites don't. It's all up to the artist.

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

Allright, this discussion is not healthy for me. Let's get back on topic. As I said, talking politics is not allowed here, so let's not engage in provocative statements that are indeed very political. (Although it is absurd that I have to stress it, I want to say for the record that I befriended and...

You start calling me names, just because we have a difference of opinion (in a debate that I didn't even start and that I didn't want to happen, precisely because of this reason)??

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

Would obviously depend on exactly what the mandate is but I can't exactly see Lynch agreeing to that given how true he's stayed on his position of casting "the right person for the part" etc - not to mention if this is 50s set then it's probably going to be very white indeed. A perfect ex...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

To think that Lynch would deliberately cast a person of colour to meet the current climate, it almost makes me cry out of despair , anger and frustration. A perfectly healthy emotional response to the thought of non-white people appearing on a TV show there. I am perfectly fine with, some, many or ...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

Lol. No one questions his freedom to express it. You, however, seem to question my freedom to express a critique of it. Did you read Ickle's post about the Netflix policy? Lynch freedom of expression (and not only his) is very much threatened. It is not imagined. All kinds of institutions are under...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

It was extremely regrettable that one of the only black characters in The Return was a sex worker, though. What's next, was it regrettable that Lynch made two films about "women in trouble"? Should he have made movies about "women with agency"? Why do lovers of art always suppor...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

Also: at the risk of making a fun topic into a semi-serious one...hopefully/probably (?) an actor of color. I think Netflix has, if not an official mandate, at least a general push to inclusion and diversity in their original content and, really, the general landscape of Hollywood is one where an a...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this?

In my opinion, Laura Dern should have played a re-cast Annie instead of Diane. The story would have had more sentimental connection to the original show, and I think few would have been bothered with the recast. My ONLY wish for the Return was "no recasts". If you are gonna use "Anni...
