Someone besides me must be watching Twin Peaks.
And, if not, someone has to like Lynch's films.
Discuss!

Oy. I've been away all weekend, but getting back into the swing of things.
I'm a few episodes into the second season (original), and what can I say that everyone else hasn't already said? It's almost a perfect series; rather than do it as a movie and have it be all over the place, the fact that it's a series allows Lynch and Mark Frost to give us an opportunity to get to know a bunch of slimy, deceiving, yet delightful set of characters that prove that small towns may seem cozy, but are most likely a swamp of adultery and deceit.
I know that's a very cynical way of looking at things, but it's what popped into my head at first.
I think that some story lines are stronger than others, but it is one of the most cleverly written pieces of entertainment in the last 30 years, probably more.

After episode 16 or 17, things take quite a twist. A few episodes, around 20 or 21 or so, seem off the track, but when we start getting back to the Black Lodge narrative, things do pick up.
Last night's episode of Return (number 8) was one of the very weirdest things I've ever seen--the bulk of it was homage to 2001 with elements of the opening of Citizen Kane. I can't wait to see where episode 9 goes.

Also, I think Bob may be the scariest character of the last, I don't know, 40 years. Maybe more.

Not many characters--or rather should I say entities--more disturbing than Bob.

Well, anyone watching or digesting or both David Lynch? Sorry, but I'm more into older women, thank you.
.....I'd add a funny emoji, but I rather not acknowledge the existence of such. What with that appalling movie released earlier this year.
And through all intents and purposes, I'm mostly watching silent movies right now. Both Battleship Potemkin and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, however, look lightyears better than any film I've seen thus far from 1911-1913. But I digress.
David Lynch? I've seen roughly six or seven movies of his. Off the top of my head, I've seen Eraserhead, Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Dr. Never saw Twin Peaks in any of its incarnations; maybe it's really good, but I'm just not a big fan of television in general.
