Twin Peaks

[Martini Girl]

I need to revisit this series. I saw part of it, but couldn't get into it. Is it on Amazon (off to check)....


*And welcome back artist formerly known as Hunter Grayson!I missed you!

It is on Hulu Plus and Netflix Instant Streaming. I have my gold box to a friend because I was expecting a Blu-Ray upgrade over the last few years but it still hasn't happened yet. Based on his Twitter and interviews and stuff they've said, it seems like Lynch/Frost and their lawyers are working on the rights issue so that FWWM - AND its deleted scenes! - can be included in a Blu-Ray box.

Lynch/Frost own Twin Peaks outright and ABC was merely a distributor. Currently CBS/Paramount/Viacom appears to be the distributor on streaming but I don't know if/when the rights lapse to the Home Video/DVD stuff.

It's been four days and I can't get over how absolutely perfect Kyle MacLachlan is in person. Fenn had to reschedule but Kyle became available so we got to watch the last episodes in the series and then chat with Cooper himself!

The man is gorgeous, intelligent, with a fantastic voice and an EXCELLENT sense of humor about himself.

Also!? Julee Cruise was a B-52 for a bit!? I NEVER KNEW THIS. (Granted, I was 10 years old when the series premiered in '91.)

Could it be finally returning? Rumor is something may be announced on Monday.

These tweets came out on Friday:

From David Lynch's twitter:

Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style! #damngoodcoffee

From Mark Frost's twitter:

Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style.
#damngoodcoffee

They both tweeted at the exact time Agent Cooper entered Twin Peaks.

Kyle Maclachlan recently had lunch with David Lynch (September 17th):

Hanging at lunch with my pal DKL supporting the work of the @lynchfoundation. Great afternoon!

Vanity Fair weighs in:

Fans of the series will recognize that both "That gum you like is going to come back in style" and "damn good coffee" are well-known quotes from the series. The mysterious tweets have started up the rumor mill as fans wait to see whether these small words mean big things are in store.

While Twin Peaks fans are desperate to believe that in the age of Netflix revivals the show could return, previous iterations of these cryptic tweets have been nothing more than genre-specific guerrilla advertising intended to inspire fans into buying Twin Peaks DVD collections.

That said, there are some reasons to believe something else is happening this time. First, Twin Peaks has already been released on DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes and Amazon Prime. Store shelves, virtual and otherwise are already lined with the various seasons, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Twin Peaks: The Complete Series, and Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, which included deleted scenes restored by Lynch himself. There can't be much more in the old Twin Peaks mine, unless Lynch and Frost are actually ramping up to the release of some limited-edition Twin Peaks branded gum.

Additionally, in 2013, Lynch told Twin Peaks cast member Ray Wise a reboot was a possibility, stating: "Well, Ray, you know, the town is still there. And I suppose it's possible that we could revisit it. Of course, you're already dead (...) but we could maybe work around that."

Speculation about the show's return has been rumored since the final episode of Twin Peaks aired and Laura Palmer appeared to Agent Cooper and told him, “I will see you again in 25 years.” That episode was set on March 26, 1989. If math is not your strong suit, that was 25 years ago.

Leave it to the always-surreal Lynch to finally be a literalist.

Ray Wise weighs in:

They wouldn’t remake it. If anything was done, it would be 25 years later. It would never be a remake of anything we already did. Maybe you just didn’t mean to use that word, I don’t know. A remake, no, but it would be something new and fresh. David always said the town of “Twin Peaks” is still there; it’s still going on whether we watch it or not. So, who knows what’ll happen in the future? It would be 25 years later, not anything remade. Does that answer your question?

Harley Peyton weighs in:

Twin Peaks producer & writer Harley Peyton says “you will not get let down again” about today's #damngoodcoffee news: twin.pk/twintweets

So, the creators of Twin Peaks tweet the same quote from the show at the same time that Agent Cooper entered Twin Peaks.

There's also the fact that they tweeted it at the exact same time. Here's another quote from the show:

“When two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.”

Unless they are just messing with us, I think Lynch and Frost are trying to tell us something. Layer in the rumors that Netflix is interested in continuing the series and...please let it be true. I'd love to see the weirdness that Lynch will unleash when he doesn't have to answer to a broadcast network.

Haha! True, it DEF wasn't weird enough the first time around.

But, really, I agree. The weirdness will be off the chain. Just think of how far special effects have come in 25yrs. I hope all the originals will come back. I'll be excited to see Sherilynn Fenn act again.

Sherilyn Fenn recently played Brittany Murphy's mom in the Lifetime biopic about her. The movie was so awful I don't even know whether she did a good or bad job with the role. I think she just did the best she could with what she was given.

Psych had an episode about the weird town of Dual Spires, and Sherilyn Fenn was in it, along with many other TP cast members. The whole episode was pretty well done and enjoyable.

Sherilyn Fenn's acting seems to really depend on the material. I thought she was fun in that Psych episode, but she was also on another USA show about the same time and was kinda awful.

Mmm. Cinnamon pie.

I think they're bullshitting.

[kostgard]

It's happening! It's coming back for nine episodes in 2016 on Showtime (the one frigging premium channel I don't get). I'm totally jazzed about this. I was such a Twin Peaks nerd as a teen.
