Lynch is the bast…
Twin peaks is without no doubt the best TV series ever… ANd cooper…he is one of the coolest people in the entire world 
I think Dune was way outside his comfort zone at the time, which is weird to say, because it’s Lynch, but that’s what I think. Before he was offered Dune, Lucas asked him to direct Return of the Jedi, and he declined, saying he didn’t want to make a sci-fi move at the time, and was more interested in doing something like Ronnie Rocket or Dreams of the Bovine(scroll down or click the link to get to the section). So to go right after that and direct Dune, it seems to me he was coerced or made a descision he was unsure of.
I just finnished watching the second series of Twin Peaks. My GOD I love this program.
Agent Cooper officaily the coolest man alive.
Yes, he is quite badass, but I really despised how in the last episode he(eyes off, BW!)

became possesed by BOB. Cooper always stood out as a rock, a symbol of purity, and while I know what Lynch was going for, he didn’t get there with Cooper’s possesion. And that smile he made while in the Black Lodge and after he slammed his head into the mirror was cheesy.
Apparently a bit more about the end is reavaled in the movie. So Im gonna watch that first.
Well, a bit more about the end is clarified in the movie. There are no new revelations there, unless you have not realized what happened [spoiler]to Cooper in the Black Lodge.[/spoiler] There is only anout one line spoken on the subject.
OMG OMG!!! I had a dream with the dwarf from coopers dream!
It was really wierd and quite creepy… and right before the dwarf came in a radio said one said something very strange…
Ive posted it in my DJ.

Any one seen Erasorhead? Dear god, if anything Lynch has got more normal over the years. Brilliant movie though.
Well, I just saw INLAND EMPIRE last night, and I must admit, I have no idea what happened. All I could discern is that one of Laura Dern’s character’s name is Nikki, she is an actor in a film, and that’s about it. I was very tired from staying up all night the night before, and after about an hour and a half, I just gave up and began to doze off. I didn’t want to, but I was so tired I was in pain. So, I feel let down. Of course I’m going to go buy this film later and watch it a hundred more times, and I suppose I’ll figure out what happened, but I’ve been waiting for this for years, and I don’t even feel like I watched the film, it was just to incomprehensible. And is anyone else pissed off that Lynch plugged his coffee in the middle of the film? The line; “It’s all about the beans, and I’m just full of beans,” is the slogan for Lynch’s new line of coffee.
Sounds like normal. 
But didn’t you notice it was a beautiful movie? 
I eventually managed to get the Twin Peaks DVD’s and we start to watch them at a friend’s. As we already had seen the first episodes, we watched the two last episodes of the first serie and the two first of the second one. I don’t think it’s very interesting to speak about the content. If someone is interested in doing movies, I think they absolutely should see Twin Peaks because the making is so simple and with relatively few means. All the kinds of possible scenes that can be found in movies are treated there, love scenes, erotic scenes, thrilling scenes, etc. (with the exception of car chases and kung-fu fights ) so it’s very instructive. I particularly liked the way Badalamenti’s musical themes are used and I strongly recommend to pay attention to the sound track.
I can’t really say what I found the most important. The scene in which Cooper has been got hurt (second serie 1st episode) is beautiful and I still don’t understand how Lynch could manage to get this oneiric feeling which makes this unlikely situation run. The scene being such oneiric, it sounds like quite normal that a giant appears at the end of it. The way Lynch uses just some simple lighting effects to render this fantastical situation is impressive. Most of the scenes content and dialogues are treated with a cold humour and second degree that makes me think of Daniel Goossens’ belgian comics or The Kingdom serie by Lars von Trier. Anyhow, the way Lynch captures the viewer’s attention is magnificent. I particularly remember some very good scenes like the listening to Laura’s tape cassette, the night rendez vous with Laura’s psychoanalyst and the killing of Waldo the mynah bird. As we are on a LD’ing forum, I think some people here have perhaps noticed the relation between the way Lynch works with attention and the way attention runs in LD’s.
Here are my first impressions. I’ll see further episodes next week. 
Tonight I watched the final episode of Twin Peaks. My feeling about the serie is the following. It’s very good until the first plot is resolved (i.e. we know who killed Laura Palmer).The two first episodes of the second serie (which have been realized by Lynch himself) contain brilliant scenes, for instance

the one when BOB is walking on the sofa in Palmer’s house, or the one in the café when the giant appears to warn Cooper a second crime is on.
Once the first plot is resolved, the second plot is far less good than the first one and we don’t know if the scenarists really know where they want to go or whether they just want to gain time. I found there were four very bad episodes, as bad as Santa Barbara, around the 10th episode of the second serie.

The framing of Cooper by Renault is completely uninteresting and this passage is just saved by Duchovny’s funny guest appearance as a travestite FBI investigator. Later, the plot between Josie, Catherine Packard and Eckhardt is really feeble. The passage when James leaves Twin Peaks and succumbs to Evelyn sounds just like an error cause it breaks the unity of location.
Later, the plot starts to regain some strength when it’s about Windom Earle. Now,

this thriller about another one psychopathic serial killer who plays chess is a worn out cliché!
Anyhow, this is treated with a second degree which is rather funny. Though there is nothing to be really enthusiastic on, there are many good little passages in the last episodes. So that I was expecting a lot from the last episode (realized by Lynch)…
After having seen it, my feeling is very ambiguous. Is this episode really good? Concerning the way it’s filmed, it is. I liked

Cooper’s journey in the Black Lodge.
Now it’s certainly not the best fantastical scene that has been filmed by Lynch. But what about the scenario? We can notice the curious decision of

concluding the started plots on the worst way that could be imagined. Is it just because it was the simplest way of finishing them quickly?
I don’t think so. There were some preparation about the way the many plots would end, so that we can’t say it has been decided just in the last episode.

We could imagine that Eckhardt’s present was not a good surprise. We knew that Nadine’s memories would be recovered one day. We were warned that Ben Horn’s revelations would be catastrophic. We knew that Annie shouldn’t go to the Miss Twin Peaks contest. We knew that the Black Lodge was a location which could “utterly annihilate your soul”.
But I think that in a certain way, it’s rather disappointing. If there were a morale in all this, it means that
[spoiler]all the people we have followed the life were wrong. From the beginning, they were lost in the compromise, even Dale Cooper which nevertheless looked like the best of them all. All the stories which promised some relatively happy ending are destroyed. There is no solution for the remaining stories: Ed and Norma will stay separed, Bobby will still cheat Shelly, James and Donna will never see each other again, etc.
Thus the conclusion sounds like: no happiness is possible at Twin Peaks - unless perhaps you are two complete idiots like Lucy and Andy.

What TP was supposed to be was destroyed by the network. They forced lynch to reveal the killer, then moved the show to a new time slot, and both these things caused a huge decline in ratings. After the first two episodes of the second season and up until the last three or so, it saddens me to think Lynch oversaw those episodes in any way. I think the last episode was lynch’s “fu*k you” to the network.
Ah OK. I didn’t know that. It explains a lot of things.
