@cooljamz3d @Bernstein haven't seen Black Eyed Susan. Thanks for the recommendation.

@Bernstein hard to top Jason X tbh

@PurgedMaoist @fleshsimulator "The 'Izzat Nuke' video is treated as the pathetic cherry on top of the meltdown."

You could remove or change any of the bullet points before this one and it'd remain true. If the Izzat Nuke is anything other than a pathetic meltdown to you, then you are not grounded in reality.

@theElegantWorm yeah probably

i like 'em frozen. better texture IMO. somehow sweeter too? like the sugar separates and concentrates into denser pockets or something idk

@Spiral @d4doome Oh, that's easy. It means old people are scary, especially when they're small.

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@waxlion @AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome Cool... but we were having a discussion... picking over certain events in Twin Peaks in search of how they might serve an underlining meaning or theme... and you came in to say that's wrong?

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@waxlion @AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome Lynch is dead and his authorial intent doesn't dictate which themes, meanings or ideas are worth discussing about his films. Frost and about a thousand other people contributed to Twin Peaks. Television and media are collaborative art forms, and the audience is included in that.

@AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome The Eddie Vedder song that plays when Audrey walks into the Roadhouse sums up her journey in The Return, touches on some of the overarching themes of trauma that you mentioned, but particularly nails down themes of nostalgia, coming to terms with the passage of time, etc.

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome It also indicates that the events of that lodge are taking place on multiple levels: mythopoetic, cosmic and interpersonal.

What about the other stuff I asked?

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome What's the deal with the red room? Why a statue of Venus and a Saturn lamp?

What about the two references to "The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane"? Or the callback line to Pete Martel in the second season with "Have you seen 'The King & I'?"

What's up with Audrey Horne?

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome I'm still lost. Apparently I missed the overarching theme/meaning/hidden plot.

Care to share your interpretation?

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome I'm confused.

Is that supposed to unveil some grand overarching theme, meaning or plot that wasn't apparent until then?

Or are you saying that's just the point where all the main characters start to come together and occupy the same scenes?

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@StealthPanther2 @d4doome inland empire is about a woman in trouble for example

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@AJ_Ravenhearst @d4doome How so?

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@posthervois Ryan Holiday fills me with contempt.

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@EllroyReader 'Inherent Vice' is a better movie whether you're judging it as an adaptation of Pynchon or not.

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@matthewjswalker Whew. I was worried for a second there.

[billychildishgambino @battlefrick]

@fangboy_xxx @IItayaa Can you provide a link to someone saying Lynch talked about Freud? Not trying to deboonk you but genuinely interested in knowing more about this.
