Twin Peaks?

Re: Twin Peaks?

is the series like a prequel to fire walk with me claudine.

Fire Walk With Me is the prequel to the series Darren but Lynch intended it to be watched after the series because it gives away who killed Laura. Completely ruins the series if you know who did it.

Re: Twin Peaks?

If anyone's thinking of watching it for the first time don't watch Fire Walk With Me until you've watched the series.

Some of my favourite scenes (that don't give too much away);

Re: Twin Peaks?

The season one DVD is made up of four discs containing the first seven episodes plus the pilot. I think the fourth disc is just extras though, pretty sure the episodes themselves only stretch across the first three discs.

The season two DVD is made up of six discs containing twenty-two episodes. Again, like the first set, I think the final disc is just an extras disc.

The movie, Fire Walk With Me was released in cinemas worldwide and appeared over here in November 1992 according to the Internet Movie Database. I think the film is like Marmite in that you either love it or totally hate it but I really do think it's worth a watch and it brings the main storyline full-circle.

Re: Twin Peaks?

It is indeed, Sixtyten. Both seasons are available to buy separately or you can buy the gold edition which is both seasons plus all kinds of other goodies, documentaries and interviews I take it.

Fire Walk With Me can be picked up for small change and serves as a nice little add-on to the series itself. The only issue I had with the DVDs of the actual series was that I would have really liked more interviews, some great cast members were missing, perhaps they were unavailable at the time or something.

I missed it first time around and I'd like to see it, but when I saw "season2" I backed off, not knowing how long it ran and how much expence it would be to watch.

So, just to clarify, that's TWO seasons and a TVM?
I could stretch to that, I think.

Re: Twin Peaks?

Definately one of the best shows ever, have been a big kyle maclachlan fan ever since, Agent Cooper is my favourite TV character, he got me into drinking black coffee and I didn't drink coffee until about 7 years after I'd seen it on TV. I wish he was in Fire Walk With Me more and that he hadn't fallen out with David Lynch, would have been good to have Kyle in more Lynch films.

Re: Twin Peaks?

I remember Channel 5 repeated in their early days, & my Brother looked forward to this but was disppointed that it never recorded well onto video.

He's now got a DVD box set of it.

Re: Twin Peaks?

Eraserhead is one of my faves, so I can deal with Lynch being 'Odd'. Maybe Twin Peaks was just too hyped at the time?
I also just checked the transmission dates..I could have sworn it was on in the late 80's, but I was wrong

Re: Twin Peaks?

I agree with you on Fire Walk With Me Sixtyten, I do think it's a good film but the scene featuring David Bowie had me totally confused and served as the film's main talking point for me. I actually did a search on the internet after watching it just so I could work out what was going on! I think that scene in particular is typical David Lynch stuff.

Re: Twin Peaks?

David Lynch is odd per se

Well, his work is. I've never met the man.

[sixtyten]

Re: Twin Peaks?

Think I did the same, which is strange, as I liked David Lynch's stuff up to that point.
Willing to give it another watch though, as at the time it was shown, I was more interested in pubs & gigs. I have seen Fire Walk with me though, that was "odd'

Re: Twin Peaks?

I watched the first episode, was completely unimpressed so didn't watch any more. Lol.
