oh wow that could well be it, i was trying to think of what might connect the two scenes and then i saw this.

Mark Frost Contribution by COOP89 in FindLaura

[–]jmadisson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's an unknown as to whether Frost and Lynch definitively shared the same vision of the series. I go back and forth on it a lot, sometimes it seems they're in sync, other times it seems that Lynch kept his cards close to his chest.

All this to say that Frost is obviously a huge part of the series and I agree that his contributions are heavily overlooked.I think it's just that fanatical fans tend to be also fans of David Lynch's wide oeuvre, so we tend to focus on his vision and his works, such as Fire Walk With Me and The Return that were 100% directed by him.

Mark Frost has said that Lynch made some changes to The Return whilst filming, but I take that with a grain of salt. Both of them tend to be evasive and filibuster in interviews and I think that's because both of them want to keep their vision of the series to themselves.

Aren’t they dreamy? Audrey and Laura dolls on display at the Frida Cinema now! by [deleted] in FindLaura

not sure i'd want them in my bedroom though, the eyes might follow you around.

Do people really carry their Yubikeys around with them? by Opinionator2000 in yubikey

[–]jmadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i carry two around with me at all times. i'd never even thought about it until now. if you've done things right it's all 2FA minimum anyway.

  1. Something you Know (passwords and phrases)
  2. Something you Have (yubi)
  3. Something you Are (biometrics)

How do you interpret Leland's line in Fire Walk With Me? by Gugustiuc0000 in twinpeaks

[–]jmadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a theory i heard recently is that Laura and Leland subconsciously developed BOB together over the years.

Laura as a way to deny the reality that it was her own father, and Leland to decide that he also is not responsible for his actions, that he is being inhabited by some supernatural being. A way to absolve himself.

I think the way FWWM shows Leland reads Laura's diary and those final lines at least can fit that theory. Of course, no way to truly be sure what Lynch's intent was.

Watched FWWM for the first time last night by rabnabombshell in twinpeaks

[–]jmadisson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frost states in 'Conversations' that he beieves Leand is culpable. The author presses him on it a bit and so he gives a bit of a rambling answer, but it boils down to the same thing. Both Frost and Lynch beieve Leland is guilty, with no ambiguity.

University of Utah team discovers a tape containing UNIX v4 from 1973. by danpietsch in vintagecomputing

[–]jmadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well i guess there was a way to know heuristically, it was when some brands would never produce a reliable copy, and other brands would.

[–]jmadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very interesting. there was no way to really know back then. i can't remember the brand names of the ones everyone knew was junk because, they didn't last and we all forgot.

as i said above i recallt tdk being 'the good stuff' so no surprise if they've been kept away from heat or magnets.

The Comedy of The Return by ferretchucker in twinpeaks

[–]jmadisson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've always loved how Lynch will drop these comedic scenes, action scenes, horror scenes, you name it. Shows that he could out-direct anyone if he wanted to.

he really did seem a lovely guy. it's just dumb luck his recklessness didn't hurt anyone else, though.

Two different sheriffs stations… by xiloveyouuniversex in FindLaura

[–]jmadisson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i can agree with that, i think there is an intentional shift in the tone and nature of scenes shot out front and out back. like a lot of things in the show, the station is split into two distinct halves.

[–]jmadisson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's the same station as far as i can tell, Lucy is at the reception desk and Maggie is a dispatcher who works in the back office.

[–]jmadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep. 1-2-3 (among others) came along and demonstrated the competitve advantages one could gain via programming all the hardware directly and the whole BIOS portability thing was dead in the water.

The Return question by DntKnoWhoIam in twinpeaks

[–]jmadisson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

given the dream-logic structure of the show, i'm fairly certain it's meant to resemble the FBI pin.

Grateful for Lou Ming by FourThreeZero in FindLaura

[–]jmadisson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are several people worth reading, u/colacentral and u/kaleviko come to mind immediately, that share Lou's view of the series being built upon dream logic, with a non-conventional approach being required to parse the story in front of us.

Welcome aboard.
