HAHA!!!
How could I forget? My wife is obsessed with that show. I’m even taking her up to Washington this summer for the Twin Peaks Festival.
The first season of that show was so fucking great…part of the second season also…but then it just lost it’s head up it’s ass with oblique symbolism…not unlike the film…
I actually liked the movie. Because (thanks to DVD) I was able to just watch everything straight through and then see the movie directly after, I could make sense of stuff that would normally just be a big pile of meaningless crap to me.
But yeah, there was a bunch of wank in the second season. It floundered a lot not really knowing what it was doing or what it’s future held and that identity crisis and lack of direction hurt the overall package a bit.
Overall I thought it was a decent ride. Not something I would personally feel the need to fly 4 hours away and talk to a bunch of nerds about . . . but, hey, whatever makes the wife happy.
Whenever my wife is watching the show I crave donuts like a sonuvabitch and I can’t stand it so I need to make a run straight to Krispy Kreme.
Parts of the Twin Peaks saga was some of the best tv ever made. The pilot and the episodes of Leland’s “reveal” and denouement are stellar stuff. I’ve only watched the movie once the whole way through a few years back and didn’t fall for it overall, despite some strong scenes, but I may revisit it again.
The guy who played Leland Palmer was excellent, especially in his last episode. With all the quirky sideshoe stuff going on you get these intense and moving moments at certain junctures. Maybe because of all the noodling, the stronger stuff is all the more rewarding.
The show was obviously an organisational mess by mid-2nd season and is a prime example of the mistake of commissioning far too many episodes for a season before knowing whether it will work.
But damn did that show have some fine women in it.
A good and simple blog dedicated to Twin Peaks:
Truth. I think Leland was the strongest (acting-wise) character on the show. And yeah, there was definitely some grade-A tail on that show. Laura, Josie, Donna, Audrey . . .
Love that series. The second season was good, but very spastic and all over the place. Way too many guest stars. Originally didn’t “get it” the first time I watched the pilot episode. Now, I absolutely love it. And Leiland is easily my favorite character, the crying and the singing.
without Scott Weiland - s.t.p. just sucks.
core was a killer disc.and thats all we got.
I think Weiland is one of the douchiest people in rock history and I’ve never liked a single thing he has done…
Whenever I see this thread title I hear it read in Bob Barker’s come-on-down voice. And I keep thinking that when I click on the thread it will finish the sentence for me.

Is that Scott Weiland or the Linkin Park guy? I wouldn’t know what either of them looked like, but I always pictured (I’m sure I’ve seen some pics or a video at some time) the Linkin Park guy with Buddy Holly glasses and dark hair.
That’s Cantrell from AiC…
That’s Cantrell from AiC…
HAHAHA!!! Okay. Thanks.
He looks like some jackass that works at an REI camping store and will give me all kinds of attitude because he climbed Half Dome last week and all I want to do is get a Coleman stove so my buddies and I can make hotdogs and get drunk in the parking lot at the next Iron Maiden show.
