Twin Peaks Season 3 was as good as it got for me. I love Season 1, and I think season 2 is OK. Fire Walk With Me is still one of my favorite made for TV movies.
Season 3 from 2017 was amazing. I was glued to every episode. Glad Lynch made it before he died. David Lynch's youtube channel was amazing. With his weather reports and lucky numbers.

I love this movie and this scene in particular very much:
Also watched Blue Velvet just awhile ago and this scene was brilliantly unsettling:
edit: whole ride scene from Blue Velvet is so great especially with that music and Dennis Hopper is insanely good in tthat movie

Heineken? FUCK that shit, Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!!!
For all the more famous lines to come from his work, this monologue from Blue Velvet, delivered by the absolutely luminous Laura Dern and accompanied by Angelo Badalamenti's soulful score, is the purest expression of hope I think I've ever seen. From anyone else this sort of thing could be unbearably saccharine, but Lynch wrote it (and Dern delivers) with such matter-of-fact sincerity, and the imagery is so evocatively simple, that it glides over any pitfalls of irony, naivety or kitsch to become a profoundly beautiful expression of love transcending above evil. Many amazing people have died over the years and in the moment felt like a huge loss, yet Lynch was so unique, eccentric and wholehearted in his vision that my first feeling (aside from surprise, since it really did seem to come out of the blue) was of gratitude that there existed someone to put this out into the world.

Yep, backwards compatible with One and Series consoles, also still the best version cause all future versions were extremely poor.

If you get the way Lynch thought, the world today makes more sense.

I don't think anyone else could create a totally alien and weird humanity like lynch did. I mean, it's twenty thousand years from now, of course it's gonna be a bit odd.

Yeah this one bugs me. They have no trouble pumping out Zack Snyder and Adam Sandler slop but couldn't find room for Lynch.
At least we got What Did Jack Do out of them.

I love Lynch as much as anyone in here, but Jodorowsky's DUNE would've out-weirded anything Lynch could ever make.I don't think anyone else could create a totally alien and weird humanity like lynch did. I mean, it's twenty thousand years from now, of course it's gonna be a bit odd.

You know, I’ve never seen season three of twin peaks despite the show being one of my favorite shows of all time.

4 great Lynch scenes:
The guy could make movies with scenes you never forget they were so unsettling. Really sad that his output was so little in these last couple of decades.

We hosted an Eraserhead screening today in our home cinema (not pictured, pic is me trying to find the film - the Criterion transfer is phenomenal).
It must be at least 20 years since I saw this film. Back then, as a 23 year old, it seemed super abstract and surreal. Now, it wasn’t that at all:

The film now appears to me as a fairly straightforward coming-of-age story of the uncertainties of young adulthood, the surprise of getting your first baby, and the toll the baby takes on you, your sleep and your relationship. It appears to explore the darker feelings that the demands of a newborn baby raises. The film was made in the late 1970s, and Lynch’s daughter was born 1968, so it seems pretty autobiographical now to me - even down to the big hair

Yeah it's funny to see Eraserhead described online like it's really complex and impenetrable. Must be a bunch of teens or childless adults commenting.
Any parent, but especially fathers, will get what's going on right away.

I just happened to start a rewatch of Season 3 a few weeks before he died, actually had paused just prior to the incredible Part 8 of all things. Back on it now.
That final season combines all his work over the years. It has elements of Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, his early short horror surreal films, Eraserhead... and it's also genuinely hilarious at times. It's an amazing thing that we got a full 18 hours of unrestricted Lynch for that final season with total control, anything less would have ruined it.

I was in the middle of a Twin Peaks rewatch before I heard the news. I decided to watch the BTS features for the first time, which had several hours worth of footage.
Little did I know, my experience watching the BTS footage of Lynch and all the cast interviews saying how great it was working with him, would get completely recontextualized halfway through.
How I perceived the footage before and after the news was completely different. And then I thought, the madman, he did it again. He played with my expectations one last time.

Dont come in here trying to tarnish Lynch. He gets a pass even if he liked Kanye

One of my favorites of his early horror short films, shows off his unsettling sound design as well

Agreed even Kanye's shittyness can't tarnish or dimish Lynch's genius!

Still on my latest rewatch of Twin Peaks final season... simply amazing every time.
Such a strange sense of foreboding as the fantasy world falls apart. There's already something very wrong when James reprises his old song on stage, then when Audrey is asked to do her famous dance as if the TV show's boundaries are broken, and it shatters to show her aged face panicking in a mirror, it's the most disturbing feeling.

You will never fall in love like you did when you were a teenager. Not too different of "The gum you like is going to come back into style" or "Remember Alf? He is back! In pog form"

Good catch! Also, for as comprehensive as this release is, there's additional bonus material in Criterion's FWWM bluray release not in this set. One of them being a "part 2" of a roundtable mock-interview with the actors of the Palmer family, in-character. "Part 1" is in the Z-to-A set (it's called "Between Two Worlds").Something arrived in the mail today, Diane.
