Reply to comment by neverjustahat in 'Isn't it too dreamy?' Me, Digital, 2023 by Meringue_utan

I’m so happy to see all these comments about people currently watching Twin Peaks! I didn’t know people were watching it :D

I’m old, so I watched it when it was on tv. Are you guys old fans like me, or young people watching it for the first time?

I was 15 when TP came out in the UK. Old enough to be put under her spell. 32 years later, she's still got me.

God yes.

My poor boyfriend, lol. Every time we watch, he has to listen to me talk about how incredibly beautiful she is. I just can’t look at her without marveling over how unreal she is.

I didn't catch it when I aired, but Amazon hooked it up. Possibly.aome of the BEST TV I've ever watched. Acting, scene comp and a compelling story.

I'm just happy it ended when it did.

Yeah, you know, I see the wisdom in the way some series are handled these days, where from the beginning they plan to have a limited amount of seasons. The idea that every tv show or series has to go on for as long as possible and that that’s the measure of success doesn’t really work for everything. Maybe Twin Peaks would’ve worked well with that kind of structure- like, “here’s the story we want to tell, and here’s how we’re going to structure it, and then it’ll be a complete thing.” I can see that.

Isn’t it grand, though‽ I agree- screen composition, compelling story, great characters, and just so perfectly itself. I’ve watched it an absurd amount of times.

Oh this is actually my second time through. The Alamo Drafthouse is showing Fire Walk With Me on the 24th this month and I was rewatching the series before going to see it! Super happy to see it on the big screen.

Oooh, that sounds really fun! I’m wildly jealous. That theater sounds really cool

Oh it is! Alamo plays new movies but it also does showings of old stuff all the time. Like a couple months ago I got to see the old Friday 13th in 3D. It was incredible. And the best part about the theater is, for most showings, there's a no talking policy. (I promise I'm not a shill for Alamo Drafthouse lol!) Yeah, but I haven't watched the new season of Twin Peaks yet, so after this I'm gonna give it a go. Have you watched The Return yet?

I was wondering if it was distracting in there! I wasn’t aware of the theater, so I had a quick google, and I noticed that they server food and have little tables and stuff. I noticed they say that you pass the waiter your order in a slip of paper, so I figured the rule was “no talking.” That’s really flippin cool!

There used to be a movie theater in Reno, when I lived there 30 years ago as a teenager (holy shit, I’m getting old, lol. I’ve never said “when I lived there 30 years ago” before😂) that had these great velvet loveseats, little cafe tables, and allowed drinking and smoking and food. I smoked at the time, so my friends and I were in heaven! We felt very sophisticated, lol

I have watched The Return! My man and I binged it when it first came out, and recently did a rewatch, spreading the episodes out over about a week. It’s different. Less lighthearted wonky Twin Peaksie stuff, I felt like. But I enjoyed it way more the second time through, once I didn’t have the expectations/assumptions that I went into it with the first time. I’d like to watch it again soon, actually.

You’re planning to watch it soonish? Do you have any ideas about what it’s like and what you expect from it?

Yeah I'm gonna start it right after the movie (this weekend) I was hoping for more of the same cuz I love Twin Peaks exactly how it is. I have heard from fans of the show that it holds up to the original but, yeah, have sort of avoided too many full critiques or descriptions of it cuz it had been a while since I watched the original and I wanted to do a rewatch before watching the return.

Hope I didn’t add to the list of stuff you don’t want to know before you can see for yourself! Sorry about that, if I did :/

I hope you enjoy it! I love Twin Peaks so much, and I’m always happy to see a reference to it out in the world. Isn’t this drawing OP did just lovely‽

Let me know, if you’re so inclined, how The Return goes for you and how your viewing of FWWM in that amazing theater is. :D

No you didn't spoil it at all! Yeah I cant wait to watch! Will do!

I was only about 4 or 5 when it first aired, but I was introduced to it when I was about 20, and I’ve watched it and FWWM at least once every couple years since.

That’s so awesome.

What did you think of The Return?

tonyhasareddit t1_j9m12se wrote

I loved it! I was worried about how they would pull it off but I think it was really well done.

I’m glad you liked it! It was well done, wasn’t it‽

I was a little offended by one aspect though. It’s completely unfair of David Lynch to hold up a mirror to his audience (me) and illustrate how undeniable aging is. If I have to see Bobby and Audrey as middle aged, what’s next?? I have to confront that I myself am rounder and less epidermically vibrant than I was 25 years ago?? It’s bullshit! 😠
