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
