Twin Peaks 1989 ‘Twin Peaks: Northwest Passage’ Directed by David Lynch
An idiosyncratic FBI agent investigates the murder of a young woman in the even more idiosyncratic town of Twin Peaks. (This standalone version of the series pilot was produced for the European VHS market and has an alternate, closed ending.)

me, running as fast as i can: "i appreciate your style, i just don't get it! please, leave me alone!"
david lynch, galloping after me and playing a trumpet: "negativity is the enemy of creativity"
Rewatching first two seasons on Blu and then Fire Walk with Me.... to prep to watch Twin Peaks: The Return in the new year.
The Blu-ray restoration looks fantastic. I forgot so much. Glad I'm re-visiting.
Just saw the pilot. Not sure exactly where it’s headed, but so far I think I kinda loved it.
me: mr. lynch... please... what's going on in your show??
david lynch: *shrugs* who can never be sure?
its so funny when people call this show "weird" or "terrifying" when its literally just a documentary on what it's like to live here in washington state + the kind of people you meet
Watched again for Guardian piece on its 30th anniversary. The best thing I've ever seen on television. So sad, so weird and funny, so singular. And watched by a lot of people. Not often that something this iconoclastic could be piped into the living rooms of so many.
[season 1 + 2]
"the police didn't love laura, nobody loved laura but us." don't have much to add that i didn't say on my first watch but still absolutely taken with how frost and lynch so vividly depict the strangeness of loss; the messy, contradictory feelings in its wake that can appear absurd or surreal, especially when grafted onto the simplicity of melodrama. interesting too on rewatch to catch more of the groundwork laid out in both the sick, impulsive underbelly of greed and abuse that the town's surface pretends doesn't exist and the more otherwordly abstract/horror elements (mostly deployed here as a yin/yang, good/evil thing) that would ultimately become Fire Walk With Me and The Return's more complex exploration of the arrogance of even well-meaning people and complete uselessness of law enforcement in a world built around swallowing and chewing up women for work and pleasure.
Lynch's surrealist edge elevates soap opera melodrama to high art alongside the guiding hand of narrative conspiracy nut Mark Frost in what is truly a watershed moment for television as a form.
Definitely the roughest element of the Peaks canon, what with the middle period of Season 2 where, in Lynch's absentia, the directors and writers end up flogging a pale imitation of his work and yet, somehow it ends up feeling more than the sum of its parts in spite of this. Twin Peaks manages to be both the defining take on Lynch's long term fascination with the evil lurking in classic Americana, and a source of immense comfort, a story that can seamlessly move from a man cracking…
disclaimer: I watched the TV pilot and not the standalone one!
i assume the surreal part of this is the sheer amount of people who immediately started sobbing when they heard laura died. and dang donna, why are you making out with your dead best friend's side piece??? this whole town is wack. so far the least strange character is log lady, who just carries a log around all the time.
"Bobby, may I share something with you? A vision I had in my sleep last night—as distinguished from a dream, which is a mere sorting and cataloguing of the day’s events by the subconscious. This was a vision: fresh and clear as a mountain stream, the mind revealing itself to itself. In my vision I was on the veranda of a vast estate, a palazzo of some fantastic proportion. There seemed to emanate from it a light, from within this gleaming, radiant marble. I had known this place. I had, in fact, been born and raised there, and this was my first return—a reunion with the deepest wellsprings of my being. Wandering about, I noticed happily that the house had…
That moment when you realize that the funny backward shuffle that you do with your kids is just from watching Bobby enter the principal's office.
Going into this stuff less than unprepared and coming out with a new dimension in my head
If i put every single time i rewatched twin peaks on my letterbox i think yall would be alarmed. Anyways, I rewatched the Pilot... happy twin peaks day
Is it real, is it not real, what really happened?
At least I can say that it is Lynch!
