Twin Peaks 2017

The original was must-see TV when it first aired. If you didn't watch it, you were left out of all the conversations the next day. Besides being different and weird, it was almost like a miniseries. Usually, if a show was a hit, they kept it going forever, but this came to an end. I loved the show. Still, I had no interest in watching it when they brought it back.

I just finished the marathon! It’s surrealist, funny, silly and melodramatic. Of course! I still think the true masterworks are the first 2 hours episode and the very surrealist episode 8. It’s Lynch in his creepiest!

There are a lot of if not famous at least recognizable actors doing small parts, including Jason Leigh and thanks to coolclearwater I couldn’t stop noticing her “sulkiness”! 😉 But it doesn’t matter because the role kind of asked for it. She and Tim Roth played a couple of white trash hired killers that seems to have escaped from a Tarantino movie (they talks romantically to each other, fight and eat and talk a lot about fast food). She also looks very young. In some recent interviews is clear she uses Botox or something but on screen she looked great so I still think she would be perfect for Eleanor because she looks like a credible mother of a 5 years old but also because she kind of specialized in those dumb but dangerous women. In Patrick Melrose she wouldn’t be white trash, of course, but maybe more a little like her role in Agniezka Holland’s Washington Square adaptation mixed with the awfulness of her psychopaths!
