remember, art is always something which has an objective solution and your own personal reaction and interpretation is worthless.

Canât really have an unified theory without including the Scooby Doo crossover anyway.
My big twin peaks theory is you just take the show at face value and any of the abstract weirdness you just intuit emotionally

Was worried that would show up here but fuck Twin Perfect.

ok, no such thing as objective answers, yeah yeah. my interpretation got shit on by the gatekeepers, and even Lynch himself so I know that firsthand
I still think this is a good one
Did anyone else encounter that guy who would push his Time Cube-esque website âexplainingâ Mulholland Drive if you mentioned the movie on twitter back in the day?
Was this the one that basically amounted to âthe first half is a dreamâ?
I think so? It wasnât very coherent. I think elsewhere in there he claimed that part of the movie consisted of different drafts of the same story or something.
He also claimed to be the only person to ever understand The Prestige.
Like, donât get me wrong: I enjoyed the video enough to watch the entire thing. I like this sort of thing! But he basically confirms right from the beginning that this video is completely against what he considers to be the purpose of Twin Peaks. Thereâs something a little slimy about purporting to love something so much that your expression of love is deleterious to that somethingâs ability to exist. And yeah, I agree that a rote recounting of symbols and meaning squeezes the depth out of the show and reduces what should be messy and real to a sterile, flattened silhouette.

itâs unfortunate video essays are the financially incentivized format of choice today because they are so uniquely terrible
kind of rules though, and i hope it feels that way for you too⌠now weâre all left touched by the association, for better or worse

oh yeah definitely! I donât mind it at all. that somebody even asked him about it was good enough for me
he also said âitâs beautiful someone thought of thatâ so thereâs that too

Whoa, was the syncing the escape scene with the box scene your idea? How did I not register/remember that?
no, mine was the article about syncing episodes 17 and 18 of The Return in their entirety
Iâm surprised (& flattered) anybody here remembered it was mine at all honestly, so donât worry

Oh yeah! I read so much that I forgot where everything came from.
I was recently rewatching season 3 with a friend who hadnât seen it and it made me really think about how important this thread was to all the awesomeness that summer. Thanks everyone!

this is a Thing in destiny
The Hive gods embody different ideals that they each believe to have primacy over all others (the âSword Logicâ) and their tribute to their worm gods is based on each. One Hive god, Savathun, embodies deceit. Over the second year of Destiny 2 there was a drip feed of messages purporting to be from an ally, then an AI, then a paracausal computing construct, then her daughter, then her, etc. Her purported plan was to use black holes (the âdensest possible computers in the physical universeâ) to perpetuate her deceit indefinitely by storing her secrets inside them. But discussing this, or her identity, or anything about her is itself tribute to her worm god.

yeah, i watched that version that showed up on Reddit a few years back and tbh, even though the missing pieces scenes are important, Lynch was totally correct in that they ruin the flow of the movie and should have been taken out.
Twin Peaks is a really important show to me, but it was a slow burn. the first time i watched seasons 1 and 2, i liked it, but it wasnât my favorite Lynch thing. at some point between the time that Season 3 was announced until now, that all changed.
anyway, i mostly came here to say that FWWM is one of my favorite films and it always makes me cry and i love Laura so much.
i also donât want to watch any fan theories because i want to respect Lynchâs belief that you should just go with your gut.
