Calling it now:  If Twin Peaks continues in some screen form (be it season 4, film, etc.), Julee Cruise will be replaced by a cgi tuning fork or something.

which is a good article, in the comment section, someone placed this link and it is perfect.

 

this is a short, award winning movie called 'the door of the Law'. It's based on a story of Kafka's. It's worth watching in any case but it is exactly what is evoked by episode 18. Lynch seems to like Kafka, this may be intentional.

Excellent take on the finale (probably the best i've read) and given extra credibility given how other various scenes have been discovered to sync up perfectly - gives another layer of meaning to the show's title of "Twin Peaks"

This is amazing. It fits with a lot of my own theories and then takes it to a level I can't even comprehend because my brain is so small lol Well worth a read!

Sabrina Sutherland (producer) AMA. She can't say a lot, but she does imply there will be some good features on the Blu-Ray (hopefully deleted scenes...), that they never intended to bring Annie back, and that they wanted to bring Michael Ontkean and Michael J Anderson back but the actors declined. She says bringing Donna back didn't work out (which makes me wonder if the story claiming Lara Flynn Boyle declined a return is true). She also says the episodes aren't meant to be watched in sync.

Curious as to why Ontkean declined.  Anyone know? 

I haven't seen him in anything in years (since original TP, come to think of it).  While I loved Robert Forster, it would have been very satisfying to see Ontkean reprise his role--in whatever completely unsatisfying way Lynch might have brought him back...

In the Sabrina Sutherland interview she said he lives in Hawaii, didn't want to film in washington, which is cold and aggravates his respiration issues, which she didn't specify.

Ontkean was in The Descendents with George Clooney and also Matthew Lillard-- in 2011 (which was filmed in Hawaii) and he still looked good.

Goodness, yes, Ontkean indeed looks good there.  I do hope Ontkean's impediments were simply logistical and there weren't bad feelings.  He was missed.

Lynch: It's "too early to talk about" Season 4. Not for me!

That lack of outright denial and the indication it's merely early days is the opposite of Lynch's approach to discussing a future for the show in the old days - he used to categorically deny it. So to me, this looks pretty good.

[jsbt]

I posted this in the wrong/right thread but it def needs to go here too: Lynch talks to EW about Season 3, Dougie, Grace Zabriskie, Freddie, Billy, Audrey, why he can't talk about Season 4 (yet - and says it would take four years), and more.

Vulture talks to Mary Reber, the real-life owner of the Palmer house who appeared in the final scene as Alice Tremond.

Lynch talks to Pitchfork about music, Bowie and Jeffries.

Quote

Pitchfork: After making a cameo in 1992’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, David Bowie’s character Phillip Jeffries reappeared in the new series via footage from that film and as a big, talking tea kettle. Did you ever approach Bowie himself to be in the new series?

David Lynch: Absolutely. I never even talked to him, but I talked to his lawyer, and they weren’t telling me why he said he couldn’t do it. But then, of course, later on we knew.

Why did Phillip Jeffries take the form of a tea kettle?

I sculpted that part of the machine that has that tea kettle spout thing, but I wish I’d just made it straight, because everybody thinks it’s a tea kettle. It’s just a machine.

Did Bowie know that his character was going to appear in that capacity?

No, no, no. He didn’t know that. We got permission to use the old footage, but he didn’t want his voice used in it. I think someone must have made him feel bad about his Louisiana accent in Fire Walk With Me, but I think it’s so beautiful. He wanted to have it done by a legitimate actor from Louisiana, so that’s what we had to do. The guy [voice actor Nathan Frizzell] did a great job.

Kyle, James Corden, and Judi Dench in the Red Room. Somehow this feels much more like the actual Red Room vibe than most of the talk show parodies I see that just have the music and wacky dancing. 

Seizure warning.

Yes it is convincing as an elaborate prank ( or is it? ) situation. It occurs to me, too, that the design would make disturbing bathroom decor. I would do it. Hi, happy Halloween. The bathroom is down the hall. The teapot and I will be in the living room.

Good write-up.  I always felt the character of Joey was drastically underutilized.  It kept seeming like Lynch and Frost had expectations for the character to play much more of a key role in the series; Joey was who James trusted to transport Donna to him safely AND stealthily from the Roadhouse, after all, plus Joey's inclusion in the Bookhouse Boys definitely seemed to portend further significant involvement.  Those expectations never came to fruition, though.

I always figured Joey's character simply got lost in the shuffle of the cast depth.

Getting a few more details about the season 3 DVDs. Last month the release date was announced:

 

And last week there was confirmation of 4 hours of bonus materials from this season and some stuff apparently related to season 1 (details and cryptic titles here).

Putting Julee aside, are there any news about bringing the series back to life?

[jsbt]

Lynch and Frost are saying it's too early to tell but would take time. Lynch had another interview about that just in the last day.

[jenrising]

Mark Frost did a Reddit AMA today. I'm just reading through now but it's pretty good. He explains a few things and doesn't explain a lot of things. I'd say there are a few spoilers for the latest book if you haven't read it. Definitely worth a read.

Yup. I had pre-ordered it once the date was announced and it was delivered only late last week -- apparently by someone who used to be a newspaper carrier as it appeared the package was flung from a car into my driveway. 

I'm pretty steamed the show itself was shut out of nominations for a Golden Globe. I hope that doesn't bode badly for KM winning.
