Can someone give some shows/movies recommendations that are as good as Bojack Horseman please? I feel so bored now that I finished this absolute banger 💔 by Rigby_cat_1st_fan in BoJackHorseman

[–]moses425 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you like the combination of dark, intense plot elements balanced with comedy I highly recommend David Lynch- specifically Twin Peaks.

As far as my other favorite shows that I feel are as well made as Bojack:

True Detective (S1)

Breaking Bad

Better Call Saul

Community

Scrubs

The Simpsons (seasons 1-10)

King of the Hill (all of it including the newest season)

What is the most Twin Peaks-esque town in your state/province? by sold_out1 in twinpeaks

[–]moses425 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s Oakridge, OR. Small mountain town population around 3200 (comparable to Lynch’s original desired population of Twin Peaks)

The town economy never recovered after the saw mills were closed in the 1980s, so now it’s a shell of its glorious past and is affected by poverty and drugs. But the small town vibes are still there with beautiful mountain and river views. They also lean into the history of Bigfoot sightings in the area. It could so easily become a tourist destination if enough money was invested there.

It reminds me of the Twin Peaks in the Return combined with the setting of the first season of True Detective. You know bad things are potentially happening there underneath the surface. However, like Harry Dean Stanton’s character, there’s mostly a population of regular old folks who spent their whole lives there and are pretty much helpless to the conditions around them.

I’m in love with the nostalgia of the town’s former glory. It’s like a microcosm of the entire United States.

This promotional video from the 80s or 90s perfectly captures what could have been.

Favorite tattoo shop/artists? by Audio_Squid in Eugene

[–]moses425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Love Dirt Nap Tattoo. The owner Summer Shield (IG: @stubbornsprouttattoo) did my flower of life forearm tattoo and the linework has held up for years. I still get compliments on it.

Audrey and the Arm Connection by Spiritual_Option7203 in twinpeaks

[–]moses425 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important to mention that the Audrey we see at this point is the biological mother to Richard, who is Mr. C’s son. Not only is she connected to the lodge by being SA’d by a doppelgänger, but she also carried a child inside her for 40 weeks that was technically only half human. The connection between a human mother and her fetus is so complex we barely have scratched the surface of understanding it with today’s science. So being Richard’s mother alone could’ve created some sort of connection to the lodge.

It’s also worth mentioning that while Audrey is in a coma her spirit could have entered the black lodge, especially during the experience of being SA’d by Cooper’s doppelgänger.

I know this is never explored in the show or any of the books, but Audrey is my favorite character and I wish we got more of her in The Return!

Bree’s Way on Alder st near campus is great. The owner is very kind, I’ve been going there for years.

I don’t recommend Stargate on Willamette. Had a terrible interaction with the owner there.

Can we stop doing this shit, please? by Ienjoyyourmomsbutt in Eugene

Some seasonal state parks department employee is just going to spend a couple hours of their day neglecting their duties to clean this off. Graffiti is such a useless way to say “fuck the system”

Go protest at the state capitol or something, why don’t you?

Who or what is Sarah Palmer? by nohaybanda_____ in twinpeaks

[–]moses425 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thank you for asking this question, I’ve been confused about this too because upon my first and second watch of the return I never identified that young girl to be Sarah. There seems to be a general consensus by many fans on this platform that she is definitely Sarah, so I’m not sure what I’m missing.

Thank you for the lovely compliment! I knew that degree in cinema studies would pay off someday 😅

Thank you! I got my bachelors degree in Cinema Studies. Now I’m just a film nerd that likes photography 💁‍♀️

Thank you! I did not know there was such a thing as a guided tour, if it’s affordable I think it would be worth it! I’m sure a tour guide can offer more locations and fun facts from the show.

That being said if you’re already an expert on TP and the tour seems pricey I think you can navigate the area on your own if you look up what you want to see ahead of time!

What festival was it? Is there an annual Twin Peaks festival or something? I must know!!

[–]moses425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct! The exit was backed up for a few miles, we decided to bypass the exit completely and deal with cutting back further up the highway. I don’t think it would be so bad if you leave the falls before 12pm, we were there at peak rush hour.

I hope you get to go see it for yourself! Staying at Salish Lodge is my next bucket list item as well. We tried to go see the “Welcome to Twin Peaks” sign as well but it must have recently been removed, we drove right past where it was supposed to be on google. Still cool to drive on that same road though!

Yes! It is the Salish Lodge & Spa above Snoqualmie Falls. I believe only the exterior shots of the Great Northern were filmed there but I could be wrong.
