And because I’m on a kick for the next few weeks, here’s a free version of “The Autobiography of Dale Cooper - My life, My tapes”:

I owned this book back in the day. I probably still have it lying around somewhere. This is turning into quite the memory lane for me.
Yeah, there was Agent Cooper’s book and Laura’s Secret Diary (complete with missing pages). So freaky, so fun.
And I’ll see your Bob crawling over the couch and raise you a Laura’s mom realizing that she saw Bob crouched at the foot of Laura’s bed in Fire Walk With Me. It is to shudder.

Yikes. Just reading that makes me never want to see it.
So, of course, I just added the film to my online queue. Why oh why must I abuse my fragile psyche this way?
Next thing you know I’ll be adding Pet Sematary and holding “Zelda-thons”.

And now I can plan to have nightmares tonight. Thank you.
Seriously, though, I was introduced to the world of Twin Peaks via Fire Walk With Me and, while a friend had to explain the relationships to me, it blew my mind. No one captures the disorienting and sinister nature of nightmares like David Lynch.
I really hated the movie. It just felt nothing like the series to me. And I loved the series.
The show’s great, but in my opinion kicks it up a notch when Miguel Ferrer enters the picture. He’s fucking great, and a nice foil to Agent Cooper’s optimism as well as just being plain nasty to every single Twin Peaks resident.
Also?
“Albert Rosenfield. A-L-B-E-R-T R-O-S-E-N-F-I-E-L-D.”
*sticks tongue out*
Jesse:
I think my love for the film really comes from my love of all things Lynch. It’s definitely flawed, and I can totally see how people who are really only fans of Peaks (but not of Lynch’s other work) hated it.
It’s weirder than Peaks, and lacks most of the series’ lighthearted humor and really, really ramps the creepy into the stratosphere. It rarely, if ever, feels like the show.
But to me, that’s a good thing. I wouldn’t have wanted to see the show stretched out into a film format. That “soap opera” feel is pretty much gone, which is kind of appropriate seeing as how the film is a “prequel.”
Ray Wise is all kinds of awesome, of course. Ah… wish I could say more. Definitely watch so we can discuss.
And yeah, I think I find Lynch far creepier now than I ever could’ve as a teen/kid.
He really taps into the stuff that scares me as an adult - things I would’ve never thought about, let alone been scared of when I was younger.
It’s the same reason I was bored to tears merely years ago when Mulholland Dr. came out (at 20 years old), yet absolutely flipped for it when I revisited it this past year (at 27). The nightclub scene at the end creeped me out severely. I frequently have extremely vivid/terrifying/surreal nightmares, and it felt like someone sort of crawled into my head and extracted that feeling. Beautiful, but terrifying at the same time (in the best way).
Yeah I love that show too, the second seasons trails off but it’s still worth watching. Pretty much every Bob flash is creepy as hell. I didn’t watch the show when it was on and mistakenly watched Fire Walk With Me first - on video around 93 before I thought I would ever see the show- so when I did watch the VHS version it lost a bit of it’s punch. Still awesome though. I bought the first season when it came out on DVD in what 2000? 2001? I have the bootleg/Hong Kong version of the pilot with the horrible sound. I waited the five years or so to get the second season. When the gold box came out I was a little pissed. I just can’t justify buying it again, but those extras sound pretty cool. I remember watching that SNL episode with Kyle MacLachlan, although it didn’t mean all that much to me. Maybe if it comes out on Bluray I’ll double dip.
I don’t think MacLachlan is really that good of an actor, but Lynch uses him perfectly. His stiffness and “gee shucks” demeanor is exactly right for Dale Cooper and Jeffery Beaumont (Blue Velvet). But I’ve never really liked him in anything else. But I’ll echo the love for Miguel Ferrer and David Duchovney
I bought that Laura Palmer: Secret Diary book. Its not exactly In Canon with the show buts its an interesting read. Did anyone here catch the clues written inside the book.
Sherilyn Fenn is an absolute Goddess. I eagerly watched each episode just for more Audrey/Cooper goodness. That early Season 1 episode where Cooper returns to his room and finds Fenn in her head still sticks in my memory even now.
I’ve recently been introduced to the works of David Lynch and just rented the first season of Twin Peaks. Then I discovered you can stream pretty much the entire series on IMDB.
Fuck/bah humbug/I’m loving the show anyways.
Fuck watching it on a computer screen.
I’m very lucky in that my best friend has a huge screen/HD projector (though for regular DVD’s the HD doesn’t matter as much) and I was introduced to this series that way.
Computer screen is all I gots unfortunately.
“Hey, FELLAHS! Don’t DRINK that KAHWFEE!!..You’ll never guess…There was A FISH IN the Perk’o’later…sorry…”
Jack Nance…you and your inflections are sadly missed.
Rest In Peace.

Jakespeare, if you’re watching the series on a computer screen, you will never in a bill-trillion years expreince the series. You’ll think you have experienced the series, but you’ll be *cough* cheated.
It’s such a sadness. That you think you’ve seen a series on your FUCKING COMPUTER SCREEN.
(my apologies if you don’t get the reference.)

Pity this brilliant entrance of a charactor only lasted about 5 episodes, and then he started to become conscious of his female side…WHAT!!!
