No TV Series Thread But It's A Film Anyway

You people ought to yourself to see Twin Peaks season 3. This night's episode (Gotta Light?) just begs to be seen on a theater screen and was by far and away the most astonishing, weirdest and spectacular hour of TV I've ever witnessed.

Yes Steins Gate is fantastic. Went a bit dark and depressing in the middle and the science behind their time travel was a bit different but overall one of my favourite anime series.
10 Cloverfield Lane was good too. I wouldn't say best movie in 5 years, but cool ending!

Huge David Lynch fan here. I'm waiting for the show to be over so I can binge-watch it.
Funny You Say This

Because that episode was extremely similar to Eraserhead in many ways, which I think is the best film of all time so I was extremely giddy the whole time. And here I thought Call For Help was the weirdest episode so far. It's amazing that thing was financed and broadcasted. There's just nothing on the level of Twin Peaks, it effortlessly buries everything else. The only series that could rival it was The Wire and that was 15 years ago.
I can't wait until I can watch the whole 18 hours seamlessly since this season is basically one long 18-hour film divided into 18 parts. And now there's a two-week break until the next episode.

I meant to say in the last 3 years. I messed up and typoed "5" which is too bold a claim.

Well, the name of David Lynch is a sesame that can open some doors, and the first two seasons were something of a revolution for TV back then.

Showtime tried to get rid of him. Most likely for this episode. But I am guessing, honestly.

Big DL fan here but I don't have Showtime so haven't seen Season 3 of TP.
And for those of you who think he's a god - watch Inland Empire and get back to me with your thoughts.
Yeah...

Inland Empire is his only film that bored me. Wasn't aware of that dispute thing.

Massive DL fan but the original Twin Peaks I found a big disappointment. He had the right idea, and started out well, but just went nowhere with irrelevant subplots. It's no surprise it got cancelled.

I really enjoy Inland Empire. I saw a really good description of it the other day, "a three-hour panic attack". It's definitely not for everyone since there is almost zero narrative structure and the film deliberately looks like shit, but it's something very interesting nonetheless and it just gets under your skin.

The new season is written from start to finish by Lynch and Frost with no outside interference, and the whole thing is directed by Lynch. This new season also is far more in tone with Fire Walk With Me than the first two seasons.
People who went in expecting to see coffee and pie and quirky humour were sorely disappointed, and last night's episode made quite a few people absolutely furious while the rest of us thought it was an amazing piece of art and something unheard of on TV.
Inland Empire

Tried to watch it, tried again a few more times but never managed to get into the film. Also, I never liked Laura Dern, so it may have something to do with her. She was bearable in Wild at Heart because Nicholas Cage but that's pretty much it for me.
People who went in expecting
It's a mistake to expect anything from Lynch (including weirdness, as evidenced by The Straight Story).
Walk With Me
#5974 posted by Mugwump on 2017/06/26 15:01:38
is one of my favorite Lynch movies so I'm probably gonna love the new season, though I wouldn't have minded if it kept the tone set in the first two. The Man from Another Place will be sorely missed though. Speaking of, I stumbled upon this. Has Anderson gone nuts?
The Man From Another Place Is In S3.
I won't tell any more what Lynch did to the character, other than skacky's brilliant reaction, and I quote, "THAT FUCKING MIDGET MUST BE SHITTING HIMSELF"
Ooh, Curious To See That!

Looking Forward To Twin Peaks S3

once it's all aired.
I hated Fire Walk With Me and Inland Empire though.

Well you may not enjoy this season very much then, especially if you hated Fire Walk With Me. It's very close in tone and references it heavily, down to the smallest detail.
I Liked The Tone
#5980 posted by nitin on 2017/06/27 15:36:10
I just think it's a mess of a movie.
Anyway I still want to watch Twin Peaks s3 regardless, it's not everyday today that 18hrs of completely unfiltered auteur madness is allowed.

Wonder Woman - unpopular opinion but I thought this was utter shit on every level.
3/10
Wonder Woman, it starts out decently and gets gradually worse.
