a DAMN fine series, I must say.
I bought the first season on dvd and I must say, I'm blown away by it.
pretty marvelous, especially Federal Bureau of Investigations Special Agent Dale Cooper.

it's not that any particular patch is bad or good, but there are some lame story lines... like when James leaves town, and anything to do with Nadine... just stupid.... but the show is still priceless... i love Ben Horn, and Bob, and Agent Cooper... and, well, most of the characters really... David Lynch is really cool

When i hear "Come To Daddy (little lord Faulteroy mix)" i always think of Twin Peaks , especialy that last episode.
It has the same humorus yet freaky vibe. I imagine the Dwarf singing the boy voice and the giant singing the lower mongoloid voice hehe! (it would make a cool video)

Twin Peaks is the greatest thing to ever grace television.
When Lynch left the show in Mark Frost's hands while he went off to do Wild At Heart, thats when the show got crap (Nadine in high school, Evelyn Marsh, Little Nicky the orphan, etc). But Lynch returned to save it in it's final moments (the series finale ROCKS).
How's Annie?

Hehe... no spoilers, the dude's only on the second episode!!!
The film is great too, but the first 40 minutes is far better than the rest. Roll on the uncut dvd....

The final episode is Lynch's revenge on Frost, he was like "you wasted my series to build up all this bullshit?! i'll crush your sand castle" and it all went BOOM :D

Yeah Lynch is one of my fav directors.. he's a genious. It's also cool that "wild at heart" feels like Twin Peaks in a lot of ways, even the music is very similar (and a few actors are the same).
In what way was Twin Peaks personal for Lynch? I'm gonna buy the DVD myself... Lynch is, like I wrote, one of my fav.
Btw anyone know why (I already know how) "Lost Highway" is constructed (the story) the way it is?

You can do the stem trick? Excellent, bet that's been requested at a few parties ;)
You should definitely get the dvd - the extras are generally not that good but the transfer is stunning. Make sure you get the European version if you can play region 2's, cause the US set doesn't include the pilot.

btw......thats so odd, why doesn't the US version have the pilot.....thats the KEY to that series, i have to have that.
i wonder if US DVD's can play region 2.....hummmm i'll look into it. maybe i'll take a short jaunt to canada and see what they have up there. i get a lot of my DVD's from there. =0)
thanks for the tippage!

yeah I have the european package (obviously..). I think the extra's are pretty good.
I love the music thats under the menu's on the dvd's (menu's look great, btw - you can always see if a bit of money has been spent on a set if the menu's look good).
and I love Badalamenti's music in general. I only have the Lost Highway OST and Mulholland Drive. I downloaded the "City of Lost Childeren" OST too.
there's a nice interview with Badalamenti on the extra's disc in the European set of Mulholland Drive.

I think the US version don't include the pilot cause it's sold seperately...
But yeah, the pilot was what made me stick to the show from the start til the end...
I think the show was good "enough" til they (coop and the gang) found out who murdered Laura Palmer... Then it got pretty uninteresting with uninteresting stories... But it had to go on, since the "evil" had not been caught.
The whole feeling of the show changed after that though... The ending... I think the last episode is good compared to the ones that came before it...
Though "Mulholland Drive" is my fav Lynch work. It's good, actually excellent and stunning, from start til the end.
Awesome film.

Well... not sure I made myself clear...
The movie has a certain theme... We had a discussion about this at school when we had some englishman coming over, and he showed us how the movie loops into itself (don't know what that form/figure is called).
I've only seen it once myself, so I haven't analyzed it, but I'm sure it has to do with the theme or something...

"Mobieus Strip" > yeah that sounds right! like if you take a strip of a paper and connects it to itself, not like it becomes a loop, but that it becomes something with only ONE side...
thanks for the link, but I was only curious about this question and would like to analyze the movie myself, in the future.
But thanks! =)

Psychosis Fugue, or something similar, was how Lynch described Lost Highway... I love that film, it's far far better than the uninteresting and done to death dross that was Mullholland Dr.

Jarworski: Psychogenic Fugue, and Lynch himself said he had never even heard of the term/state until after the film was released.
What Lynch has said though is that the OJ Simpson stuff going on at the time influenced him greatly as far as LH's story.
