Everyone who says his name was guy.brush is wrong. Including early 00s me. Brush was a type of art resource but not a file extension.

I will be really really bummed if this transforms from "we had been working on this nine episode story and its scripts for four years," into "suddenly we realized we had EVEN MORE to tell so we're excited showtime is giving us more space to keep expanding."It feels like the rights consolidation, the Blu Ray and gold box re-releases, the years spent writing these new scripts, were all part of a consolidated, focused long term plan by Frost/Lynch over the last half decade, to get Twin Peaks back fully under their control so that they had an incredibly firm foundation on which to tell one more story. That I can get on board with and have huge respect for. It gets me nervous when I hear that on the cusp of being able to realize years of very clearly complicated and precise and passionate work, the core of it is starting to fundamentally change shape. I'm not super concerned until it comes out and is good or bad, but with expectations already set by lynch and the network, and the "years in the making" backstory that came with it, a wrinkle like this is not confidence-filling. (That's why it seems likely it was the source of the scuffle -- lynch coming to showtime right before the cameras roll and saying "guys it's gonna need to be 11 episodes to do this story right," would not make them stoked on any level.) But really you can't speculate too much. Plans of this sort often DO change the moment you're about to make them. Right before movin from the theoretical part of conceiving a project to actually getting your hands dirty on making it work, your brain sort of switches gears, and seeing your idea through the eyes of the person who has to actually put it together, you don't always like the shape of it. That's totally understandable and real and happens a lot and if so I'm glad for lynch to have the space to fix that kind of problem. That was a rambly window into my thoughts on it more than anything conclusive or valuable I guess! In short I find the whole thing interesting and it gives me a lot to think about and speculate on. I'm honestly neither sad nor happy about the "more episodes" wrinkle, but it is a wrinkle and it's hard to know what it means without the whole story, which I'm sure we won't get for a while.

Now I'm sad. I was really excited for nine-and-we're-out.But yeah maybe the "lynch wanted to do more than showtime was expecting initially," literally meant that there was more show than would fit in the initially budgeted nine hours?

Psyched. Can't wait.

We can open it up to new threads when the cast is done.

I don't want to ask people to split their viewing in half or to wait a whole week to hear the second half discussed. We just have to do a good job as hosts!

Fortunately Fire Walk With Me is still to come, and while it's a prequel as far as when it's set in chronology, it feels more, to me, like a device to close up Twin Peaks as a circle. As to whether or not Lynch "salted the earth," that's something I look forward to talking about over the next two weeks.

Thanks, I was very pleased with myself after writing that.

I really hope "dash rendar" came to be similarly to guybrush threepwood. (eg: he was named "character-render" or something so he went from character dash render to Dash Rendar, the way Guybrush was the unnamed main character, AKA "guy" brush file)

This was the proposed venn diagram: Dash Rendar --> Dart Fener <-- Darth Vader Which led to the realization that "venn diagram" is also a star wars character.

1 actually.

ALLARD NEWS

The podcast episode is up!

We're expecting the last couple episodes to be on the longer side but right now the pickings are at their most slim I think. Gone is the greatness, or the strange groping for meaning in untethered absurdism, or the bafflement at where we are. We're just sort of here, so all we can say is "yeah it's a little better I guess. Anyway Ben Horn right?!" But I'm looking forward to the end.

edit: Didn't have time to get anything concrete together . Thanks to Chris for helping me put together a system to dynamically populate blades, though. --- We'll see if anything comes of this. I might be too busy. Also it might be terrible. But this thread will exist forever, at least. It's been fun making blades. Next step is to make the interface layout actually responsive and not just a pretty layered picture of blades.

The desperation in his eyes is subtle and hard to see without a higher quality photo. But it is there. I love that he is not old and is a relatively normal looking guy. It paints a way more immediately bleak and life-bed-shitting backstory.

I have no idea at all what's going to happen. Now that that doof was trapped in a chess piece I am past my last memory of Twin Peaks, that isn't Fire Walk With Me.

Idle Thumbs 206: Owen Wilson's Nose Before Owen Wilson's nose was attached, this world was a lot for Old Granny Dreamcast to take in. That newfangled headgear you're supposed to be wearing now. Games on telephones. The instruments everyone carried around a couple years ago seemed to be coming back. "Be a rock star," said one new title, as a crowd threw cups at her and booed. "This isn't what it feels like. This is it." After the nose though, nothing. No sickness, no disorientation, no more feeling alone. Old Granny Dreamcast straps on her guitar, jumps on the "AM Ballads" stream and is gone.
