Yeah, Earle admitting to a certain cynicism there, Last of the Profoundly Disappointed.... Agent Earle's path is a strange and difficult one.

I'm in the Agent Earle camp too, even though The Return is my favorite incarnation of Twin Peaks, and I'm maybe a little too optimistic in this anticipation of a potential new season... But we're all on the same team here! :D

Well, according to the ongoing poll there are about five of us left, unless there actually are fewer and some folks are pulling a prank on us. Why stick around? I don't know, maybe like a real fan you stick with the team when they are slumping and just flat stink, and hope for some better days! :lol:

Who are you talking about here? Missing some context.

About Bill Maher. Anyway, I think a show with a live audience is something different covid risk wise than a controlled set I think.

> Dern. My hunch is she uses the word art instead of (tv) production because she is well aware the official announcement hasn't been made, playing coy. So she has no idea what it's going to be, nothing new here, she was completely clueless during the production of IE. I mean, pages of script for TPTR were shredded after use. No one gets a look at the larger scope of things in Lynch productions any more. The fact that she does speak out about it in some tantalizing way, makes me believe she is involved, and Lynch may very well have discussed (the essence of) her part with her. 'Boundary-less' seems to indicate he got what he wanted, creative freedom/budget wise.

Still can't shake idea of Linda shaving her hair and becoming Judy. If only I wouldn't be leaning to the belief this isn't Peaks...

> The last of the profoundly disappointed. Huh, I wonder that title can be held after a new Lynch production. How could one still be disappointed when they've lost all hope. Or do you still have some? ;)

I'm not sure how big the small studio audience is on Bill Maher's show...

but Twin Peaks: The Return had like 200+ actors with speaking parts (many of them just coming in for 1-2 days, plus lots of extras) , so it is daunting to think how logistically that would be possible today.

The Lucky 7 insurance scenes had conference room scene, extras in plaza, corridors. Bad Cooper vs the Nursery School teacher guy in the warehouse, a lot of thugs. the RR was usually cramped / crowded with extras. crowd around the run over kid. the roadhouse concert scenes.

Assuming Lynch is up to something, said something will probably be filmed mostly/all in the United States. As I understand it, the new CDC guidance, whatever one thinks of it personally, says that people who've received a full two-shot course can gather indoors or outdoors, maskless, and not social distance, if it's not very crowded. So if you've got actors, cast & crew who've had two shots, then technically they can film as usual, at least if the studios and their insurers decide to follow that guidance. If the studios decide to go along with it, then it's down to whether or not various individuals (and especially Lynch), feel comfortable going ahead with the project.

It seems like Hollywood has systems in place to make shooting as safe as possible (as they kept emphasizing at the Oscars, where Dern presented), and it seems like stuff is filming. They shot the last few episodes of Fargo season 4 back in August, before there was even a vaccine, and they looked pretty indistinguishable from the earlier pre-pandemic episodes. Maybe slightly fewer huge crowds, but nothing at all that jumped out at me.

Bill Maher had both shots, and still tested positive, and HBO shut down the shoot, despite what CDC just said, is the point I'm making....

The recent Walking Dead season stood out to me as a covid shoot. The throngs of zombies from before were reduced A lot of 2-3 people centered episodes. one episode was like 60 % or so carol chasing a rat in a house.

Eight vaccinated NY Yankees also tested positive but were asymptomatic except for one. It’s going to be a period of a lot of trial and error, probably missteps. But it does seem like a lot of stuff is back in production. It’s going to be up to Lynch and the production companies whether it’s worth the risk. I have no doubt he can tailor the project to whatever restrictions exist and still make it great. Lynch thrives on improvisation.

I'm not saying Unrecorded Night isn't moving ahead, and it can't be done, I'm just saying it could be bump and go, if someone tests positive, there will be workarounds and delays and logistical issues. the CDC easing up on masks isn't a magic wand.

Oh for sure. In fact, it could turn out to be perhaps quite the opposite of being a magic wand —

Sorry. Won’t go there.

Maybe we'll have an episode that's 60% sweeping the roadhouse floor then! :lol:

But if we're getting that, it's because Lynch envisioned it in the first place. Him having the realization of his vision impaired by COVID restrictions just wouldn't fit the ''boundary-less'' that Dern implied. I'd expect him (and other involved) to rather be patient for more opportunities to than just making ends to create a product to sell pronto. The Walking Dead, a series that imo has been ever deteriorating since it's conception by Darabont, is to me a prime example for making sacrifices (such as lack story direction, oof) just to push product.
