| Question: How did you become BOB on Twin Peaks? Frank Silva: It was an accident. I was hired as the the on-set dresser for the pilot, we were shooting in Everett, Washington where the Palmer house was and we were shooting the interiors, and exteriors, and we were shooting in Laura Palmer’s bedroom. It was basically the scene in the pilot where previous to the scene where we see her Mother downstairs yelling for her. Basically the shot we were getting ready to do, was Lauras’s mother’s POV of her daughter’s room after her wanting her to come down to breakfast. So, the camera was in the doorway, David was out in the hall, where the ceiling fan is. I was tweaking the bedroom set, getting everything ready to go, making sure everything is in it’s place. David jokingly said, Frank, you better get out of there, you’re going to get caught in the camera. And then suddenly he said - wait a minute!! Frank, get down to the base of the bed, crouch down, look through those wrought iron bars, and act scared! And then they shot the POV, with me at the base of the bed. And it just sort of snowballed from there. |

In 1990, there was no soundtrack to buy, so I would be driving around listening to that Julee Cruise tape.
Interested in revisiting; is there a Blu-Ray version coming?

Stupid enough to click it, fast enough to get the hell out as soon as I saw the title.
I have an ongoing “one walking nightmare a day” policy, and viewing that would clearly violate it.

Hell yeah. That is exactly the reason I put him as number three on the CHUD TV All-stars list. Last time I revisited the first season he still scared the shit out of me. I was one of those poor souls that bought the season one set. And then left out in the cold waiting years for the release of the second season. When it came finally around the gold box was the plain better and cheaper deal. Unfortunately I can´t afford neither of those right now.
But I´ll try to catch up with you Jesse cause I love me some Twin Peaks.
And the Soundtrack is pure gold. I am still listening to these enchanting tunes after all these years.

I bought her tape also. Damn, I’m old.
No Blu-ray of the series announced yet. You will be able to get the first season though, apparently.
If you’ve got Netflix/Blockbuster online, you can rent the Gold Box through them. Order them up and hop on board - it’s been a blast thus far.
Benjamin Horne is one of my absolute favorite characters, EVER.
Right from that first moment when he spits in the fire, the deal was done. I nearly pissed myself from laughter at that one little moment.
Other favorites:
-The bread + butter sandwich and his reaction/enjoyment of the whole thing.
-Civil War (supervised by Jacobi)
-His dancing on the desk for Leland’s song
What an awesome, awesome character.

Heh.
On a somber note, RIP Frank Silva.
Bob had the AIDS?? Damn.
Didn’t know that as well.
What did you guys think of Fire Walk With Me? I remember Chris Issac and a pre-24 Kiefer Sutherland in it.
Didn’t Bowie play the Log Lady in the film?

I think it’s aged very well. Removed from the context of fans realizing that it was the last look they’d get at the town (and subsequently being let down by the lack of quirky townsfolk), it’s a seriously creepy sexual abuse drama.

Bowie was Agent Philip Jeffries. And he’s not gonna talk about Judy.
I thought the Heather Graham cameo in Fire Walks was a nice touch. Plus the last imagery of Cooper and Laura together. Haunting and nice.
I doubt we’ll ever see the deleted footage though. Despite what Lynch says.

…or find out how he did the baby in Eraserhead, but that’s probably for the best.
I STILL find Audrey Horne’s ‘audition’ at ‘One-Eyed Jack’s’ one of the sexiest pieces of TV EVER!
…yeah, the cherry…

Dr. Jacoby, Benjamin Horne and Leo Johnson I remember were the most obvious to me. (Leo being so obvious that he just HAD to be a red herring.) Dr. Jacoby was an obsessive freak (his scene with Bobby especially) and Benjamin Horne is just full on cigar-chomping scuzziness. Then I had to look at the LEAST obvious suspects, those who appeared the most innocent. Josie Packard especially.
What I love about the show is that, even though only one person is guilty of killing Laura Palmer, the town is full of terrible terrible people.
I got the Gold Box set through DD’s 25% off sale, and am anticipating watching it again over the holidays. I’ve had the entire series on vhs thanks to Hollywood Video liquidating it’s vhs stock, but I’m glad that I finally have it on dvd.
If only the series ended with the resolving of Luara Palmer’s murder in Season 2. All that Windom Earle stuff after that was weak.

I so agree with that. In fact, Sherilyn Fenn was offered her own spin-off Audrey series but she refused.
On the original DVD of Fire Walk With Me, some well-intentioned sound engineer equalized the audio for the roadhouse scene, making the dialogue clearly audible and rendering the subtitles pointless. I hope that’s been fixed since.

As noted above, the TV-show-within-the-show was essential to maintaining that balance, reminding us the viewers that we were, after all, watching a nighttime soap. Its absence from Season 2 was unfortunate.

| Methinks the show will tip way too far into quirky small-town melodrama (that eye-patch lady already looks like a future offender), |
You are correct, sir.

| 9) Lara Flynn Boyle had a personality? And warmth? Why didn’t anyone tell me? The Lara Flynn Boyle I know is a cold mannequin of a woman, prone to icy-bitch roles and (probably) eating the hearts of children to stay young. |
Another casualty of Season 2…
