I have been wrecked this week thinking this will be ending, I might actually watch half this week and stretch it out a few days.

Last week's ep and this series in general has permanently changed me.

speculative spoilery stuff, i guess, drawn from one of the unseen teaser trailer shots and the wow lynch wow guy's commentary, so i'll tag it just in case: the wow lynch wow guy thinks that andy being shown himself leading lucy somewhere indicates the fireman/giant was telling him that she'll be able to tell coop and doppelcoop apart, because she's looking back and forth once he gets her to the doorway he's leading her to. this obviously would be in the event that doppelcoop tries to pass off as real coop, which always struck me as a possibility because of something about cooper's expression in the as-yet-unseen shot at 0:50 in this teaser trailer (the same one with the staircase shot we haven't seen), which, after seeing him in the series, reminded me of doppelcoop:

satantango is so cool

here's my incredibly well written review of it that I wrote for my zine a few years ago

right so yesterday i took the day off to go and see satantango which is a black and white hungarian film and is notorious for being 7 hours long and composed of very lengthy takes, some of them lasting up to 10 or 11 minutes without a cut. i read that in the whole film there are only about 150 edits all together which is mad for a film that's 7 hours long, mad i tell you. so anyway it has a reputation for being a masterpiece and one of the greatest films ever made and all this, so i wanted to see it for myself, and also i couldn't watch a film like that at home because i'd get distracted, i need the confines of a cinema (or gallery in this case) where there are no distractions and i'll just sit there and get the damn thing done. i must also add that this film has to be seen projected on a big screen cos it has some of the most amazing images in it and a lot of it is really just about the image and the composition of the whole thing. so i went along at 11 in the morning with some peanut butter sambos, an orange, a bottle of water, and a pillow cos i knew the seats would be below par. goddamn i'm glad i brought that pillow. i kept thinkin of my sambos while i was watchin, i just couldn't resist them, and they were all gone within about 2 hours. i came to the conclusion that i really love peanut butter sambos and i'm gonna start makin them and bringin them to work for my lunch. holy mackerel my orange was well tasty too, one of those really juicy and sweet ones. sometimes you just strike gold with oranges. i think this time of the year is very good for them, i've been getting a lot of really delicious oranges lately. i messed up with my bottle of water though, i got "tipperary spring" still water or something, instead of my usual volvic which they didn't have. tipperary spring has a kind of vague soapy taste to it which i'm not mad on. but in retrospect that may have been a good thing cos the water lasted me nearly the whole 7 hours and if i had volvic i might have guzzled it all back real quick and then been stuck with no water and also needing a pee. i should clarify, there were no breaks in the film at all, except to change the dvd disc twice, so if i had needed a pee i would have missed some of it, which would have frustrated me. i mean, if yr gonna watch a 7 hour film, watch the whole bloody thing, don't wimp out and just watch bits of it interspersed with pee breaks hahahaha. seriously though i wouldn't have minded an intermission but it wasn't to be. i also read that mr. bela tarr, the guy who made the film, prefers it to be watched all at once without an intermission, and far be it from me to interfere with the wishes of a visionary film-maker with an agenda. right so i suppose i should say what this seven hour long film was about, did i mention it's seven hours long? it felt more like 4 hours to be honest, it didn't feel too long cos it really is very good. and also, structurally and story-wise, it is very similar to lots of other films i've seen, except everything just happens waaaaaaaaaay slower, at a glacial pace. in fact, that is what i would compare this film to, a glacier. it just moves very slowly and awesomely past you, with a presence that could sink the titanic! I don't like professional film reviews (which this is, shut up) that just tell you what happens in the film for the whole thing, so I'll just briefly say it's about a bunch of working class peasants who are coming into some money for selling up their community businesses and they are all very excited about getting the cash but there are a couple of them who are conspiring to take the money for themselves and then there's another two of them who everyone thought was dead but holy goddammit they are not dead at all, they are coming back to claim the money too, and one of them has a grandiose plan to restart their community somewhere else, and they are all a bit afraid of him cos he's very articulate and can persuade and manipulate them all easily. that's all i'm gonna tell you about the plot becuase i don't want to ruin it for you as you all will no doubt be rushing out to see this asap. mainly though this film isn't so much about the plot at all, it's about the way it's made and the images and the sound. some really incredible images in it like loads of wild horses running through a city square, men walkin down a lane with gusts of wind blowin rubbish and debris all around them, lots of shots of the flat hungarian countryside. some shots last so long that you can actually see the daylight changing, getting brighter or dimmer. there is a very traumatic sequence with a young girl and her cat, i felt real sorry for the cat but i read afterwards that the director now owns that cat as his pet and it was ok. there's a real good bit where these three fellas are walkin and then they all stop and stare at somethin and one of them falls to his knees like he's having a religious experience or something, and then we see they are lookin at a huge ruin covered in fog (it happens to be the place where the little girl and her cat were). anyway it is an amazin shot of this ruin with fog but then they are walkin off and one lad says to the other , "what you never seen a bit of fog before or somethin?" hahahaha. bit of hungarian comedy there. the fellas in it are always drinkin rum and brandy too and smokin the smokes, made me want to drink some rum and brandy. so after all of that, 7 hours later, i was the only one left that watched the whole thing and a fella came over to me and said, "sorry for disturbing you but the director of the gallery wanted me to give you this as a token of our appreciation" and he gave me two little hardback books with photos in them! i think they're the books for the exhibition that they have on there at the moment. i haven't really looked at them properly but i flicked through one and i saw a photo of a lady's b00bs!!!!

I've rewatched this scene so many times. the music and "James has always been cool" is so great and the fact that that's the last line of the pilot that they spent a year writing is something I think about a lot

Woah I just had this epiphany that this season of twin peaks is pretty much to me what that soap opera was to the characters in the original series. This weird intense thing kind of like a soundtrack to my life. Has been such a fitting constant with the rest of the weirdness these last few months.

Every scene with the Log Lady destroyed me because it showed us something that you don't really see in film. Usually actors are kind of like cats - when they know they're dying, they hide out of public sight so people don't really get an image of them close to death. I honestly can't think of a time the physical frailty of an actor's real life has been so integral to their performance. I'm sure there are a bunch of examples, but this really surprised me and hit my heart pretty hard.

this reminds me - i was thinking about miguel ferrer in S3 and how strange and subdued and sort of blank his performance is.

was he already sick when he started filming this or did lynch just direct him this way?

he got progressively sweeter as the original series went on and he still has moments where he's kind of a dick.

another example is Julian Beck in Poltergeist II. it's one of the only great performances in the movie and it's weird/awesome to use your imminent death to support a horror movie
