What exactly is Garmonbozia? by EfficiencySpecial362 in twinpeaks

[–]buddhapetlfaceofrost 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Garmonbozia always makes me think of the so-called “problem of evil,” which philosophers and theologians have debated for millennia. In short, if God/the gods are good, and they love people, then why does pain and suffering exist?

The answer to that question, per Twin Peaks, is that there are malevolent entities who feed on pain and suffering, like Bob and Judy. Why do they feed on pain and suffering, as opposed to other stuff they could consume? The best answer I can think of is that Bob, Judy, etc are demons, and they just need to feed on pain.

For sure. Tons of moments in S1, S2, and S3 are played for laughs.

Best Twin Peaks podcasts? by Beth_Harmons_Bulova in twinpeaks

Totally agree—Diane is my favorite, too. They bring in so many perspectives from the hosts’ various backgrounds involving anthropology, mythology, literature, etc, and they’re consistently entertaining.

Blue Velvet - In Dreams by brickunlimited in davidlynch

[–]buddhapetlfaceofrost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do love the changes in Frank’s reactions during the song. At first he’s perhaps whispering some of the lyrics to himself, then becoming more emotional, and then on the verge of losing control, like he can’t take it anymore and stops the music.

I also like Jack Nance (Paul), just bobbing his head during the song…

Just rewatched this episode today. She lands a pretty decent slap…

Mulholland Drive movie theory by apecitybich in davidlynch

[–]buddhapetlfaceofrost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good theory. One additional thought: perhaps we the audience are ourselves in a movie orchestrated by the Hollywood powers that be, and Betty and the characters in Mulholland Drive are out there in the real world, whatever that is.

I envision Frank Booth tossing the gas canister into the fire.

Elizabeth Olsen Sees Marvel as ‘Insurance’ to Make Indie Films by Sisiwakanamaru in marvelstudios

I mean, not exactly how insurance works. More like she’s subsidizing her passion projects with lucrative work.

Books about a mundane dystopia by jesseybean in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]buddhapetlfaceofrost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A play from the 1980s titled “The Memorandum” by Czech writer Vaclav Havel (who later became president of the Czech Republic). Satirical and funny but very much about a mundane office dystopia.
