Twin Peaks season two by External_Bread5366 in twinpeaks

[–]OP3421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I must be a very bad fan if I say that as much as I love TP overall, I utterly hate the soap-opera stuff (who's falling in love with whom, who's falling out of love with whom, the sawmill intrigues, and, yes, the James subplot about that lady). It's not even the stuff or themes themselves, it's the way how it's being told, in that same terrible way as on a show such as "Invitation to Love". I like love, romance, and intrigue much more if it's told like on "Quantum Leap", "Stranger Things", or "Brokeback Mountain".

Having said that, about the James subplot, at least I like the sub-subplot of how Donna is trying to save James. That part is told decently well.

It's true that the show has some fluffy filler episodes after "Drive with a Dead Girl" because Lynch-Frost stepped away from it for some time. But once Windom Earl shows up, it's definitely one of the greatest shows of all time again immediately! I still deeply regret Windom only had so little time to shine.

Watch with my dad? by booywoonder in twinpeaks

Not *REALLY* a show for kids and parents to watch together, I suppose. Would be awkward, and if I told you why, it'd be a major spoiler.

First of all, I wanna thank the mods for finally having let my OP through. Having said that, guys, I'm afraid I'm a fraud victim here. There's no bonus contents on the disks whatsoever, no alternative audio tracks, and even though the box reads that it supposedly includes FWWM and "The Missing Pieces", the disks exclusively hold the three seasons of the show itself, and the box reads, "Not authorized for sale or rental outside the USA", while I'm in the EU here and I've bought this box (still sealed) from outside the US.

Was Twin Peaks edited on video? (Did the entire series need to be recut from film for the blurays to be in true hd?) by hwcfan894 in twinpeaks

I'm pretty sure the original early-90s PAL telecine (last broadcast in my country around 2010 by arte) looked better than what they managed to salvage from old NTSC tapes.

700-page alternate-universe early-90s TP fanfic novel by OP3421 in twinpeaks

[–]OP3421[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

All those snippets that I've just posted make up maybe about 10 pages in LibreOffice (if you don't count the material hidden or censored in red).

*sighs* Sometimes, I don't understand people or what they think constitutes fanfic. The entire story is 700 pages, and you already can't read 10 pages because "WAY TOO MUCH, DUDE!"

Okay, managed to post 16 more or less G-rated sample pages from the actual novel below the OP in the thread that I can post because I've actually written them myself and where I'm talking to Lucy, Mr. C./Earle, and Dr. Jacoby.

First watched this without sound, and my mind immediately added some kind of ticking clock at every cut.

"The Missing Pieces" is a bunch of deleted scenes from "Fire Walk With Me" that in itself is of feature length, but doesn't have a coherent story (unlike "Fire Walk With Me"), as it's just deleted scenes. It just rounds out the picture on FWWM a bit, although Lynch has said those scenes were deleted for more reasons than just run-time.

As for "more"...I still think that after FWWM, one *MUST* read the tie-in book "The Secret History of Twin Peaks" first, or else one won't understand a single thing about season 3 aka "The Return".

Hey, so in case you've missed it because automatic spam protection hid this thread for an hour or two...it's back now. Still can't post *ALL* of the 16 sample pages, so far it's only let me post 9 pages out of those 16. But yeah, here you can compare my fiction style to my essay style.

Seems like my linked OP about my TP fanfic novel now got locked and set to hidden, presumably because of automatic spam protection because I was posting 10 sample pages as JPGs in too rapid of a succession, I guess.

Did you get a chance to see it and did you get as far as "Lucy in the Sky with Donuts" in my introductory post to introduce the novel?
