Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do. You’re not my supervisor.

Well now there’s a ten dollar word if I’ve ever seen one.

Slips scrabble back to the top…

It’s a philosophical story wrapped in a scifi film skin-suit.

FTFY

Me when I realize that they’re just glossing over the fucking symbols and rug pulling the plot while blowing “time travel glitter” into you’re eyes and whispering “you’re welcome” at you:

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)

Haven’t played the other two, but have been playing monster hunter for almost 20 years now. Capcom is wysiwyg when it comes to monhunbo. And the recent releases have had exclusive pre-release gear (albeit ones with short lived usefulness). And while they and hello games are still releasing new content for free, they can have my money any time they want.

I trust my credit card more with Sean Murray than my wife.

It’s things like this that make it very difficult for me to tell my right wing shit head friends that spreading misinformation is exclusive to right wing shit heads. There are absolutely left wing shit heads who will spread any unsupported allegation that supports their own bias with no regard for integrity at all.

So thanks for having the integrity that others willfully lack, even if you only get to a few. You are a force for good in a kiddy pool of pee.

Filthy centrists.

I mean, yes and yes, but unfortunately yes. It’s possible for a capitalist shit stain to be worse than a capitalist pee stain, even if only by a near indiscernible margin. Which mattress would you rather??

Definitely more than the number of times it will matter, just like last time.

Lol, thanks! But no worries. I have no illusions about where I am. I’m a dog in a pile of one denigrating the subject of a post honoring a recently deceased abstract artist. I’m literally speaking ill of the dead - albeit a transcendental meditation-ist.

A cult classic cultist! A man who could worship a pyramid as effortlessly as he could scheme one!! He came here to do things, film and fleece, and he’s all out of [time]. 😂

If I wanted to get upvoted I would just do what every other respectable Lynch fan does and simply post a respectful, “He had emphysema…”

Lol,

direct choice? 🤷

inability? 💁

Seriously though, what’s the difference? If the end result is identical does it really matter what we label it? Whether he can’t or won’t conclude anything doesn’t really matter. Either way, he doesn’t.

And I’m glad you can appreciate those things. To me, it’s still a load of cleft asshole claptrap parading in a human skin suit of, “you just don’t get it, and I’m not going to explain it (without a heavy application of ‘magic’).” Movies like 2001 get a pass because they are almost indiscernibly linear and would be making a neck breaking heal-turn were they to end linearly any other way than the way they did.

But season one of twin peaks has not much more than a passing glance from complete focus on linearity. Even the parts that abstract from reality conform to the convention of a linear narrative. So, fine, season one is telling a story that is at least a narrative miniseries and at best a cynical critique of rural life in the northwest. Even though they show little intention of revealing major questions introduced of the plot by the end, they still demonstrate unwavering dedication to a linear style.

And I get that season two and the myriad network blunders combine to describe a project that is nothing if not needlessly nuanced (I don’t think any two words have ever more accurately described how I feel about David fucking Lynch 😆), but the fact remains and evidenced by lynch himself that he had a greater creative influence in the direction of the plot in season two than he did in season one. Even considering the episodes he had no credit in, at the very least he has claimed that he had more influence.

He shows absolutely no sign of deviation from this narrative method in his further works, so I have a hard time believing that poor little davey was merely a victim of Mr Frost’s incomprehensibly abstract direction. I would argue he leans in a bit more without frost at all.

And, finales are usually the highest rated episodes in a season, so in a two season release with two season finales, one of those finales being outside the top two is telling more of the story than lynch ever did. 🤭

Otherwise, everything else you’ve said is something I either agree with, am wrong about, or won’t dignify. But I really enjoyed reading it nevertheless. You’re obviously far more familiar with him and his works than I am and my frivolous accusations carry little water. But I tried my best! Thanks

Completely agree. Everyone loves to credit lynch for twin peaks success but it was frost who would let lynch off the leash in season 1. But halfway through season 2, lynch gives you both barrels and it sucks.

He’s done some good things, but in my opinion, at the end of the day lynch is just another artist who doesn’t always tell a complete story and pretends like this inability is some sort of gift to the viewer.

He’s like the Papa Murphy’s of storytellers. Here’s the ingredients, now you figure it out. And you’re welcome.
