Y’all should I buy this and try to make a clean transfer?

I was pretty close to pricing a copy. Gotta keep my laserdisc player well fed!
Pamela Gidley, who played Teresa Banks, passed away the other day.
I’m already missing not being able to tune in to the adventures of Dougie Jones at Lucky 7 Insurance this summer

Three Demos is a very unique release, featuring the very first demo recordings for songs from Julee Cruise’s initial LP with David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, Floating Into the Night.
These early versions are fascinating glimpses into the genesis of what became Floating Into the Night and the minimal key ingredients that made the material alchemize. An early version of the album opener “Floating” originally began with a stunning spoken-word intro later dropped entirely from the album version. A revelation in their overarching simplicity, the three-song collection is devoid of the LP’s additional arrangement flourishes, and yet still manages to present the same emotional depth charge with only voice, synthesizer and lyric.
A deluxe reissue of Julee Cruise’s second album ‘The Voice of Love’ is also available via Sacred Bones Records, exclusively on 2xLP and CD. Order at www.sacredbonesrecords.com

Apropos of little, does anyone know why McGill retired from acting (Peaks 3 excluded)? I mean he owns
I don’t know but I’ve always thought if you could feed the tom waits song “the pontiac” with big ed hurley into a machine together it could then spit out a duplicate of my grandpa, the only sane and decent member of my entire family tree

Word to the wise here, the previously locked first/last videos of the Twin Peaks Visual Soundtrack playlist on Youtube are unlocked currently.
I downloaded them with the youtube-dl open source command line tool with the -bestvideo+bestaudio option and threw them up on Drive in case any go down again in the near future.

David used a small prosumer camera to shoot Inland Empire and cameras of that size have gotten much better over the years, and people are now shooting with all sorts of things, including iPhones. Honestly, [laughs] if David could’ve, he might’ve shot Twin Peaks on an iPhone. But there was a lot of discussion about shooting with DSLRs, or a Canon C300, or something like that, but a couple factors weighed against that. One was the amount of visual effects that were going to be done for the show. It wasn’t a massive visual effects project, but there were enough. And if you want to make them photoreal and you want them good, you can’t use a rolling shutter camera — that’s just a nightmare for visual effects people. So, that was one factor. And the other was we had to deliver, I think contractually, a native 4K finished product to Showtime, or certainly close to that neighborhood. So we ended up shooting with Arri Amira, which records 3.2K, and then we upresed for the final deliver. Honestly, that resolution, 3.2K, is pretty high-quality. It’s the same sensor as the Alexa; you’re not recording Arriraw, but ProRes. And I’ve seen a few episodes projected and the footage holds up well. So, we gravitated toward that, tested a bunch of cameras, and the Amira would’ve been my choice just given the fact that I had lot of experience with the Alexa, and I thought that its image was the most film-like. After we watched the test footage and talked with our colorist, George Koran, David was in agreement with that, so we went with Arri.
