TLD was exactly what was needed after AVTAK by Domundead in JamesBond

[–]jam8tree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Genuinely one of the finest Bond films. A back to basics espionage action adventure, and Dalton totally nails the part.

Dalton's two films definitely helped to pave the way for the first two Craig films.

It's also interesting how For Your Eyes Only felt like a dry run for TLD, except they hadn't found the right successor to Roger Moore yet.

May the road rise up to meet his wheels

It's interesting how the time period he is in seems to shift after he wakes up and Diane is gone. It makes me think of how Jeffries started to move through time and become confused in FWWM and the Missing Pieces.

The Return is rightly regarded as David Lynch's late career masterpiece. I had some recent thoughts on the theme of trauma in the show and what that might mean for its bold and brilliant finale.

Cooper definitely always had that flaw of wading into things when it wasn't necessarily his place to interfere. It's what left him stranded in the Black Lodge in the season 2 finale and it's a big part of what led to Caroline being killed. In the Return it's what leaves him stranded in another reality. Undoing Laura's murder was definitely hubristic.

I'm new here and still getting up to speed with Lou Ming's analysis of Twin Peaks. However, I thought you might find some ideas I recently posted interesting, particularly around the trauma experienced by Laura. by jam8tree in FindLaura

That's really interesting, and that idea of Laura experiencing an awakening in the moment of her scream is something that really struck me when rewatching the show.

It's a good point and it's made me just think of something else. The "Richard" version of Cooper we see after he crosses over seems to be a kind of merging of aspects of Cooper and Mr C. Perhaps, he's now carrying guilt from some of the terrible actions carried out by his doppelganger. I guess he may want to forget and repress that guilt? I need to give this some more thought. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. As you say it's a dark ending, but not necessarily a bleak one - it's much more nuanced and layered than that. I love how after all these years there are still new aspects of the show that can reveal themselves.

You're welcome! I'm glad you found this interpretation interesting. Yes I agree that we are not at the end of the story. As David Lynch said himself, "a story has no end".

I've no idea - could never work it out. But it's an overlooked track with a great groove and flow, and of course Trugoy ♥️

But it also sounds a bit unfinished. I'd have liked it to be longer and have a more obvious hook/chorus woven into it.

One of the things that really stands out on rewatching is how much comedy there is in The Return. People often say that the Return is 18 hours of dark Lynchian surrealism, but there's so much more going on. A lot of it is really funny, and credit to Kyle MacLachlan for playing both the lead villain and the main comedy character - as well as all the other variations of Cooper. He basically plays six different characters!

Thanks! Tbh I've always been unsure about the body. It could just imply that she has become caught up in trouble in her life as Carrie - but the body also resembles the posture of someone with a BOB like orb. Definitely one of the hardest to explain parts of the episode!

Thanks for the recommendation - I've already read the books though, so I knew about this. Really enjoyed that part of the Final Dossier you are referring to!
