Twin Peaks

Coppola, Jeff Goldblum and Grace Jones? I'm going to this one, I have to. Just wish I hadn't missed Sheryl Lee. (Nice to see Amber Tamblyn there too)

Equally curious: Half the TP cast is descending on San Diego Comic-Con -

More Peaks! More frogmoth!

Seeing the SDCC lineup reminds me of just how huge the cast was. Not sure I'll ever experience another moment like that 'live,' seeing so many faces in and out every week. It was like one last gasp of Marland-era ATWT.

 

Someone on Twitter was asking whether Laura Dern or Naomi Watts was the better Lynch 'muse.' It's one of those questions with no answer, I suppose, although I chose Watts, mostly because I thought she was so stupendous in MD and as Janey-E. 

[Vee]

I might agree if not for Wild at Heart. I liked Janey-E more than Diane in Season 3 (though I like both), but Lula in WAH is one of a kind.

Indiewire names their underrated TP Emmy contenders (misspelling one of their names...).

I would have included Dana Ashbrook. I always was a fan of Bobby because of Dana's emotional beats and his charisma, more than the acting itself, but he was also very good on that front in the revival. One of the more unsung heartbeats of the revival, in my opinion.

I think Sheryl is a goddess, my all-time favorite actor and character from TP and the center of the show, but her part was too small (though integral) to justify that. One more hour and she might have it locked. Maybe next season.

 

I'd give it to Grace or Catherine, but tbh I suspect TP will be lucky to get nominations or awards for the show, Lynch or Kyle. All of whom deserve it, but despite it being a critical hit it is likely too alienating and not mainstream 'weird' enough to sweep those awards. I'll be shocked if it does. I think Lynch and Kyle may have a real shot, though.

Interesting quote from the Kyle interview re: the ending for the Joneses that confirms what I'd hoped:

I agree. I think it may just be Kyle (hopefully he will get a nomination). I think if there's another actor they really like and want to give them a nomination because of history with them, rather than being on Twin Peaks, that could also happen - not sure if there's anyone in the cast who fits that bill. 

 

If there's a surprise nomination I think it could end up being someone like Jim Belushi or Eamon Farren.

[Vee]

Jim Belushi would be great.

 

Added a quote above re: the ending for Dougie and Janey-E.

Apologies if I already posted this - the incredible Japanese dub trailer for Season 3. They do love their Twin Peaks:

This makes a lot of sense. It also explains why I liked Freddie so much.

 

 

[Vee]

Oh, wow.

 

I'll need to buy the book. I know Audible is offering a free trial to hear Lynch read it.

I really like this - a fan mock-up of a "Previously on Twin Peaks" montage (as was commonly done in Seasons 1 and 2 at the beginning of each new episode) to set up Part 18:
