Bought the DVD boxset of this the other week just on the basis it was half price and I'd heard it was damn good. Fuck me it was. I loved it. Damn bastards haven't released the 2nd Season on DVD yet. Man I'm impatient. Unfortunately I was reading up about the series and right in the middle of the page, without warning, they revealed the killer. Kind of spoils it but it proved me right.
Anyone else watch this and love it? The music is great too.

I've not watched 'em either, I tend agree with this view of Lynch films... I thought Blue Velvet was okay though (only okay mind). Is Twin Peaks better than his films?

yeah its great!
and knowing who killed laura palmer isnt the spoiler you probably assume it now to be
knowing who killed her is only half the story...perhaps even less
;P

Ceri: Twin Peaks is a work of art!
goDel: They really did a number on naming the killer so I know the whole who it was in both ways :/
bob: I was afraid it wouldn't be as good. I'll still get it though as I want to see the lot :D

Twin peaks is amazing, as is most of his other work. A to the link, What maddox misses in his essay is that a film can work on more than just a story-based level. I imagine the films make pretty good sense to lynch - but i dont really try to dig to deep into them, instead i just "watch the moving pictures" and hear the moving sound because lynch is a master of working atmosphere like one would work a story. Thick emotions. David lynch isn't insane, hes just a nerd who likes making pretty movies. Hes not trying to be anything else.
sorry for ranting, just my opinion...

knowing the killer is not very important. it is only a thin storymechanism to keep thing rolling.
you should watch "Fire Walk With Me".
supposedly the 2nd season is coming out one year from now.

OMG OMG OMG! 1 YEAR? Thtat's a hella long time to wait! Is it worth seeing Fire Walk with me before I see the second series? I want to see it but I know it explains things that happen in the series and I love the fucked up shit of this "story". I like the surprises.

its an amazing lynch film.
it's so singular... the show and that film are very different in some ways form one another, thats why i find it ruins nothing, because its focus is shifted to a different gear in the film.

in essence it is a very sad film - simply because it shows the last 7 days of Laura Palmer's life before she gets murdered.
I kind of see it as Lynch's take on a psychological study of a person (in this case Laura).
and it is scary as hell.

short films dvd is excellent!!!
theres 2 on there that pretty much make the $40 pricetag worthwhile.
the eraserhead dvd i have yet to obtain, but i had it on vhs for a long time, and have loved the film for years.

I had to download the entire second series from Kazaa, broadband soothes the pain though. There's some good episode guides n stuff on the net to help with some of the trickier questions asked by Lynch. Fuck me I'm hungover.

The quality isn't great, and there are subtitles on some, but it beats waiting or paying through the arse for a shitty quality Spanish boxset on eBay.

Yes except with murders and astrophysical donuts
Btw Ginge, the second series is pretty poor compared to the first, just to warn you. Some good episodes (usually the Lynch directed ones) but a lot of guff too.
