Twin Peaks - Spoilers

[neorev]

Wow, still available

[perceptionnexus]

Pretty sure its going to be a standard, wide release with no limited editions, at least based on the mondo site info. I think it said it comes out in stores in September also. I ordered one today anyways just to be sure. $23 is a fair price, and the packaging looks rad.

That's gonna be a buzzkill for resellers who were probably banking on this being a limited release. Good one, Mondo.

this seems to be going beyond Twin Peaks.

I wonder if this is a preview for the new version of the theme

So has anyone read the book yet?

edit: so the only place i can pre-order the physical copy is amazon, which does not accept paypal. fuck that shit, i am not entering my bank card info directly into the computer again.

I pre-ordered the book after all.

Steven Wilson (noted Lynch fanboy) used a snatch of dialogue from the show over a piece of music he did in the early 90's.

So the Secret History of Twin Peaks book arrived today, and it is beautiful-the binding, the cover, the glossy pages-i'm surprised it didn't cost a lot more. I've been reading it all day.

Although it was originally described as a "novel" that would bridge the gap between the end of the second season and the beginning of the third, it is instead a faux FBI dossier, starting with "photocopies" of "lost" diary pages and letters between Merriwether Lewis and Thomas Jefferson.
It gets into the illuminati, freemasonry, ufo's, a race of giants, and native american lore.

Despite it not being what it was orgiginally purported to be, not being a novel in the traditional sense nor explaining the events of the last 25 years, it's still pretty damn engaging.
I don't know if all the esoteric content is meant to shed light on the direction of season 3 or if it's just intended to add layers of mystery to the mythology of the town.

But this thing is seriously fucking gorgeous, and it's surely a must have for TP fans who like to collect things.

[elevenism]

According to this story and others, the book is a must read to prepare for the new season.

Am i seriously the only one here who is reading it?

[Frozen Beach]

No, you're not. I'm listening to the audio book while following along in the book. It's just hard to balance reading it with watching horror films and stuff for Halloween.

also, rumor is that there are two Twin Peaks books and that The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks may still come out

[Sebek]

I intended on reading this as soon as it came out, but my girlfriend knows I want it and that my birthday is soon, so I'm wondering if she plans on getting it for me. If not I'll grab it asap and catch up. A little perturbed it doesn't sound like bridge gap between then and now it was supposed to be, but I'm confident I will enjoy it. Rumor of more books? Do tell!

@NYRexall i haven't finished it as it wound up on the back burner due to these Don DeLillo books i got into, but i plan to pick it up again tomorrow.

[elevenism]

I'll race you and @eversonpoe

lolz it's on, but i have a pretty big head start so it ain't really fair

i'm a slow reader. going to a museum with me is painful because i take so long to read the plaques. but i like to absorb everything and that can't be rushed, you know?

yeah and this isn't exactly a normal book, not in form or content.
i, too, will be most likely taking my time with it.

[onthewall2983]

I believe that the first and second seasons will become available to watch on Showtime on demand this month. Must mean the new season is coming up. For what it's worth I have only seen like 10 minutes of the pilot.

you mean you have never watched the show?
if so, it comes highly recommended from some of us. Shit, @eversonpoe got a Twin Peaks tattoo

So i was going to rewatch the show before finishing the book, because i realized i don't remember a LOT of it. I've only watched it the one time through, and binge watched it at that. BUT, i have this book that i'm like 1/3 of the way through and really want to finish.
So i looked on youtube for like a refresher and was quite pleased to find this:



It's not just the one video-this thing is at least a few hours long. The subsequent parts play if you just leave youtube running, of course.

I was happy to find not only a refresher, but behind the scenes info and quite a bit of interesting (if arguable) thematic commentary and i wanted to turn you guys on to it.
I am like 2 or 3 hours into it and really digging it.

I will DEFINITELy be watching the show again-good god, i can't believe i forgot so much!

edit: oh, also, have you guys read any of the other Twin Peaks books?

[hellospaceboy]

I haven't read the Secret History of TP yet (I suspect it's under our Christmas tree) but I loved the Diary of Laura Palmer and the Dale Cooper tapes books back in the day. They were great addition to the world. The last few weeks I've been reading through this to et me in the mood:


I think we'll start re-watching the series in January to get everything fresh before season 3.

I'm one of the few people who loved season 2. I'm curious to see where they go from there.

I was watching the series on Netflix last year with my SO for the first time since I was really young, and we were both loving it. Then Netflix pulled it once we neared the end of Season 1. Bastards.

Welp, sold a bunch of action figures today, and went straight out and bought the nine-disc set today (which seems like a steal considering the 10-disc set is basically twice the price plus, and I never really get around to watching extras anyway) as well as the only copy of Laura Palmer's diary that my local Indigo had - twenty pages into it, and it's already pretty messed up.

I'm gonna go back and grab the new hardcover next week.

[Shadaloo]

Okay. So now that our watching of Game Of Thrones is on hiatus, us having hit the end of S5 (neither of us have cable so we're never quite up to date with current shows and don't really care to be), we're going to go back to Twin Peaks starting tonight.

I watched the pilot and first three episodes solo this week to refresh myself. If she asks to start again I have no qualms.
I have also had to stop reading both the diary and Secret History, which I picked up, as I've hit a point in each book where I'm worried if I keep reading I'll actually spoil things for myself, things I've completely forgotten through the mists of time if I ever knew anyway - point in fact I don't even remember who Laura's murderer even is or if I ever saw the reveal (though after this week's review I'm pretty sure I can make an inspired guess).

Also the entire Secret History has to have been written by like Fox Mulder lol. All of this focus on extraterrestrial activity, cryptids etc isn't what I was expecting. Entertaining as hell though. I can tell the new series is going to be....different.

[eversonpoe]

posted in the david lynch thread yesterday, forgot we had a specific twin peaks thread

my wife (who has seen the series three times) and i (who have seen the series once) just started a new watch-through. we've had the "entire mystery" blu-ray box set since it came out and i can't believe it took us this long to delve back in. yesterday we watched the pilot and episodes 1-4 and literally all i want to do is keep watching because i forgot how much i love the show. (i mean, not really, i have a fucking owl symbol tattoo, but i did kind of forget how great it is)

[Shadaloo]

May 21!

[Wretchedest]

That is so fucking soon. holy shit

[thevoid99]

That is awesome. I can re-watch the entire first season on Showtime and then finish the rest of the 2nd season. I'm fucking stoked for this new season that is coming.
