Great story about an obscure #TwinPeaks prop. I'm amazed at what my fellow fans have documented here. (And happy to have participated in bringing this prop to light.) twinpeaksblog.com/2026/07/31/t...

One version of Cooper never made it home. That's the tragedy. (Arguably, the Cooper who accepted who he was did make it home.)

Too bad this story is getting such a negative spin (but that's what gets you clicks). The *real* story is that Nolan selected Lost Highway and was ultimately complimentary to the film and to Lynch. A difficult fim doesn't mean a bad film.

I, for one, hope certain politicians live long lives, so that they face legal consequences or personal losses/discomforts (or some dim realization that history will paint them as villians) for the suffering they've inflicted upon others. I long for karmic payback.
@thornewip.bsky.social returns this week to discuss Sheriff Cable. We talk about his combative nature with Agent Desmond, question how much he truly knew about the fate of Teresa Banks and the drastic changes of his character from “Fire Walk With Me” to “Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes”.
If you love David Lynch and want to see more of his work. Please join me in letting Paramount know you want them to see his and @markfrost.bsky.social's nearly lost 1990s comedy series ON THE AIR get the release it deserves. #PutOnTheAirOnTheAir. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Sx...

We are down to our last 2 signed paperbacks of Devious Dreams, @thornewip.bsky.social's masterful analysis of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. It's the ideal gift for that person in your life who is stranded between reality and dreams. This person might or might not be you. mzs.press/SIGNED-Devio...
SIGNED Devious Dreams: Reimagining David Lynch's Mulholland Drive by John Thorne (Paperback, NEW)
Puzzling and elusive, David Lynch ’s Mulholland Drive (2001) refuses easy interpretation. Critics have said the film is “outside logical explanation,” that it lacks “any semblance of rationality,” that “people who try to work out what is ‘really’ going on in it are wasting their time.” Given Mulholland Drive ’s unorthodox narrative—Is the story a dream? The visions of a dying mind? A depiction of

I believe this is one of Lynch's carefully framed shots. Note how the saw on the wall extends from Cable's head to Desmond's chest. Lynch is connecting them. It may simply be aesthetics, or may imply intent on Cable's part (violence, anger?). Lynch uses similar framing in many other shots.

I came into possession of something very interesting, especially if you’re a hardcore #TwinPeaks fan….
I don’t know, $250 seems a little steep, Half Price Books.
Perusing Rotten Tomatoes & dumbfounded at how many mediocre reviews are listed as positive. Eg: -You might not remember anything, but at least you’ll be entertained -leaves you wondering who it is actually made for -makes no attempt to be its own thing -overcomes its pacing and derivative flaws !!!
A new book on Mulholland Drive coming in November. (Just around the film's 25th anniversary.) www.bloomsbury.com/us/mulhollan...

In #TwinPeaks discourse, the common spelling of Bob as "BOB" orginates from The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. But nowhere in credits or scripts (or Lynch's Room to Dream) is Bob spelled in uppercase. (Notably, Frost's in-universe Secret History acknowledges Laura's diary and all-caps spelling.)
Thanks milespottery.com for this beautiful custom-made #TwinPeaks mug. If you’re a coffee drinker, I can tell you the coffee tastes even better in a mug like this!
May the 4th be with you! I have a small collection of my VHS tapes, Andor and the newpaper comics at my current place. I also recorded an episode in 2023 titled "David Lynch's Return of the Jedi" with @thornewip.bsky.social & Bryon Kozaczka for its 40th anniversary. Link in my comments!
Hey Peakies and fiction fans! Rolling out my new book over the next two weeks. Selling and signing new addition of The Secret History too. Hope to see you: Be there or be square!
Today a friend pointed out to me the Lynchian qualities of “Goodnight Moon,” and I do believe there’s some striking similarities. I mean, these are rabbits in a human dwelling, right?
Another solid issue. Still can’t believe we put one of those out every two months.

Wow! If you're a #StarWars fan, you have to watch this. I was skeptical at first, but the sheer love and reverance these fans showed won me over. What a clever, beautiful and absolutely hilarious homage. (PS: Chewbacca is perfect in this.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulVs...
