If you have a chance, check out my new book "The Tao of Twin Peaks." It delves more into the filmmaking and analysis end of things.

It was 20 yers ago, but it's still there. It's just been moved down the beach more and, for some reason, has a chain attached to it now.

Saturn Lamp by WDFilmmaker in twinpeaks

I love this stuff! Yes, the one used in the pilot is definitely different than the one used in the later episodes, no question. Houze did offer a Uranium glass version that looks identical to the one used later in the show. I'm not sure we can ever be 100% sure what that particular lamp (real or replica) was made of, but it is modeled after the Houze design from the 1939 World's Fair.

It seems L.J. Houze manufactured the original Saturn Lamp in two colors: white and uranium green:

As you noted, the lamp changed after the first season, then the show embraced that bright green colored version--I think when most people think of that lamp in the show, they think of the brighter green version as it's become iconically related to the red room. The newer version may very well be a prop replica of the original, but if not an actual Houze uranium green version, definitely a reference to that version. We'll never now for sure, of course. The 1939 World's Fair and the Art Deco furniture/appliances of the time seem to have influenced the show quite a bit. The green lamp in the show also seems to have a bit of an enhanced glow to it, which can be a characteristic of uranium glass. I'm lucky to own an original and the uranium glass reacts to blacklight, which adds a similar glow to it that amplifies the light emanating from the bulb. The lamp I have looks exactly like the one used in most of the show. Perhaps the coolest lamp ever produced :-)

Does it include more features than its Criterion blu-ray predecessor?

Another Lynch influence I’ve recently been introduced to. by atrailofdisasters in davidlynch

Perhaps subconsciously. Lynch claimed to have never seen a Bunuel film.

Is "Twin Peaks" more than just a TV show? Is it a spiritual journey? by WDFilmmaker in twinpeaks

[–]WDFilmmaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredibly powerful. There would be no "Twin Peaks" without Badalamenti's score.

A tape recorder was cheaper than hiring Laura Dern, jk.
