Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

Regarding the jungle throne, maybe Lynch felt it was showing too much? Various fan theories since that shot have taken it as a display of the white lodge, though L&F have maintained after the fact it was never shown. I think it might come down to Lynch's consistent distate for how others envisio...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

Just to clarify-I wasn’t blaming Rathborne or Brock at all. They were hired to do a job and Lynch and Frost signed off, either way it goes. I also remember being told Lynch threw a royal fit over Holland’s second episode intro, where many simply pin him as “gone” Didn't mean to imply! I was just sp...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

The contributions would have likely continued to be fine, since the one variable we're certain of is an absence of coherent showrunning; in other words, Rathborne and Brock, no matter the missteps in the episodes as episodes, are the least to blame. Although of course there's always the argument of ...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

That's definitely my favorite thing about the old show, is the feeling of the material catapulting itself here and there. I had the same "oh boy" feeling whenever Lost would have a Lindelof/Cuse written episode directed by Bender. S3 kind of all merged together and, like a movie, it was in...

Re: Season 4? Or is it over after this? Wisteria/Unrecorded Night? Something else? (Speculation thread.)

Frost did a great deal of retconning of his own with the books, one shouldn't forget the L/F-only nature of the new material was itself a collaborative decision. FWWM was already levied with "Lynch is righting what he sees as wrongs," reclaiming (and some had said overstepping) his control...

Re: Part 17 - The past dictates the future (SPOILERS)

Or was Jerry just really, really high, hitchhiked his way to Wyoming, freaked out after seeing Richard liquidated, and stripped off his own clothes? I feel like one of the motifs of S3 that doesn't get touched on enough is the conflation of the supernatural with a drug-high state. In Part 5 when Be...

Re: No Country for Old Men

Never saw this before last week. I have to disagree with BOB1, I had a lengthy conversation afterward with my spouse and have thought about it throughout the week. I don't think the film lacks pay off, everything is set up dramatically and thematically, it's just concerned with something more specif...

IIRC, Kyle MacLachlan in an interview said Mr. C's look was inspired in part by Bardem's Chigurh.

Re: Trey Parker & Matt Stone Sign New $900 Million Deal Including 14 Streaming ‘South Park’ Films

FWIW I've somewhere read Trey's statements that the departure of Mr. Hat symbolizes the show's departure from being a surrealist comedy to ''commentary on current events''. It just so happened that the latest vaccination special brings forth the return of Mr. Hat, all while completely bulldozering ...

Re: Trey Parker & Matt Stone Sign New $900 Million Deal Including 14 Streaming ‘South Park’ Films

Actually, they frown upon their earlier work. I've read a statement from Trey Parker that they hate their writing back then, wishing they could erase the first 3 seasons. That's always been such a head scratcher for me. Me and a friend recently sat down to see how much South Park we could stand, to...

Re: It just occurred to me; Some fans WERE watching on phones/laptops

I thought the CGI work in S3 was too rough (as opposed to just rough) until I watched the bluray on a huge TV, where there was a marked improvement. In my experience CGI suffers the most from compression on streaming and broadcasts. The sound design difference between even a good torrent and a blura...

Re: Inland Empire coming to Criterion

I believe a while back Dern gave an interview where IE came up and she talked about the full extended monologue/take Lynch shot with her and said "I think they're releasing the whole thing on like Criterion or something" so I think we'll at least get that full take as an extra. Interestin...

Re: Inland Empire coming to Criterion

Would be curious to know how they'll present it. I'd love for more exposure to IE, and the write-up indicates they get it from a filmic perspective. But the DVD Lynch self-distributed is basically already an ideal, optimal Criterion edition. The only thing I could think of would be maybe including D...

No, I think they mean that the wording is particular. "Since Covid" implying that, before Covid, something was brewing.

Re: Why so little of Grace Zabriskie?

Toss my hat into the "just enough" pile; her scenes are among my favorite of the season. She really nailed what they were asking of her given where that character is at. And what they show are all scenes that indicate she's in a pattern of behavior, so in a sense it instructs us on what sh...
