“There’s no backup for this.” Twin Peaks, episode 11
My pal Keith Uhlich’s re-cap of the latest episode for MUBI.
“The Truman brothers are both true men.” Keith Uhlich on Twin Peaks, episode 10
A couple of re-caps from my friends Keith and Dan. A couple in real life. Re-capping Twin Peaks in different outlets. It’s been so fun to follow along with their thoughts. Here’s Keith in MUBI on episode 10. Here’s Dan. … Continue reading
Must-Read: Gina Telaroli on Twin Peaks: The Return
In all the “ink” spilled already about the series, there’s been nothing like this essay. I got legitimate goosebumps at the last line. (I have seen the movie in question, but did not know David Lynch’s connection to it.) Read: … Continue reading
“As a matter of fact, Ike, we have your whole palm.” Twin Peaks, episode 9
My friend Larry Clarke had some great screentime in this episode! The shared-laughter about the tail-light between the detectives. Who the hell ARE these guys? The way they all answered in unison when the deputy came in saying, “Detectives?” Also: … Continue reading
The Morphing of Agent Cooper: I Think He’s Onto Something
Calvert Morgan advanced his theory on Agent Cooper over on Twitter and I’m so in love with it I’m posting it here. I’m mainly bummed I didn’t pick up on this. The best thing about this theory is that it … Continue reading
June 2017 Viewing Diary
Mad Men, Season 2 – 7 Not sure why I decided to do a re-watch. I think what happened is I watched the pilot and then couldn’t stop myself. It’s been a terrible month. I needed the comfort of the … Continue reading
“Got a light?” Twin Peaks, episode 8
In case you missed it, here’s my friend Keith’s re-cap (although this series is redefining what a recap even IS and I say GOOD) of episode 7. Episode 8 felt like a mini-retrospective of Lynch’s career. Up to and including … Continue reading
“Fuck you, Tammy!” Keith Uhlich’s recap of Twin Peaks, episode 7
There are a couple of other people doing re-caps whom I also enjoy (Noel Murray at the Times), for one, but Keith’s hit the sweet spot in terms of analysis, humor, an eye for detail, as well as a willingness … Continue reading
Sweeping. It’s All About the Sweeping. Twin Peaks, episode 7
It’s ALSO all about my friend Larry Clarke, as one of the cops who questions poor baffled Dougie (Kyle McLachlan) and Dougie’s increasingly irate wife (Naomi Watts) about their missing car. I squealed when I saw Larry stroll into the … Continue reading
“Did you ever see the movie The King and I?”
A lot of banner moments in episode 6 of Twin Peaks. The line I put in the title. The gesture and behavior that went along with that line. WHAT??? My favorite moment in the episode. Harry Dean Stanton, reprising his … Continue reading
