The description of the train at night, stopping in Yugoslavia, was amazing. So many details, you can almost see him imagining a movie scene right there.
"Moths were flipping and flying like frogs. Frog moths, were pulling themselves out of the earth..."
Those who watched Twin Peaks: The Return might recognize the connection between the 8th episode and the frog moths.
The Return is full of shots that are very reminiscent of his past works; there’s multiple nighttime highway shots that look a lot like Lost Highway, for example.
I still remember the vivid and strange experience when I watched Lynch's masterpiece TV show 'Twin Peaks'. Just an amazing experience! I have also enjoyed his films such as 'Blue Velvet' and 'Mulholland Drive'. When watching Lynch's shows and movies I feel his creations are similar to that of Stanley Kubrick.
“I think that horror following technology in its development is a dead end. We had horror films about TV, now there are films about the web, but in fifty years only scholars of culture will look at them. Meanwhile, people who want to be scared will still watch the scene from Mulholland Drive with the bum peeking around the corner. But that scene could equally be filmed in 1930 or 2030.” (Alexey Karaulov)
If you haven’t seen yet, Twin Peaks got a third season back in 2017. It’s a lot more like Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire than the original show, but personally, I think it was one of the most amazing shows I ever watched :-)
Twin Peaks season 1 for part of it. Season 2 of TP Lynch was mostly out of the project. Season 3 had some very, very good moments (gotta light, but also the coin flipping scene), but I am still on the fence on how good it was to close the series.
I'm still disappointed they didn't find a way to work Billy Zane into S3 at all. Even for a scene or two, haha. Shame about Bowie—to put it mildly, and not just for the show—but they managed alright.
S3's a real two-watcher, and I've only watched it once so far. Haunting nonetheless. Anything that sticks with you past the credits is better than average, I'd say, and it definitely qualifies. It's not satisfying, exactly, but it plays at satisfying, at times.
Lynch's ads actually made me understand his style much better. For all his otherworldly weirdety and teasing of Hollywood, his 90s work looks rooted in 90s tv. It's like I watch tv dramas or ads, but with Lynch's twist—just like Pedro Almodóvar's films are 80s/90s tv with Pedro Almodóvar's twist.
At its best it was full of black humor and characteristic Lynchian weirdness.
