Colin holding a real-life prop from the original #TwinPeaks -- a One Eyed Jacks poker chip! I purchased this decades ago from the great TP collector/dealer Bruce Phillips, who told me there were probably only 10 to 12 made for the show.
In lieu with going to Canada for the weekend, this is from a couple years back when @thornewip.bsky.social brought one of the poker chips from the season one finale to @texastheatre.bsky.social during The David Lynch Retrospective

In his new memoir, Anthony Hopkins says he tripped during one of the takes of The Elephant Man and that Lynch used it in the final film. I think he means his brief stumble upon entering the room where John Merrick awaits. Check it out at the 1:35 mark: youtu.be/s8AmASlhPdo?...

I was speaking about this book this morning, with no idea a cover and release date had been announced! Without doubt, a day-of-release purchase for me! Hope you'll be on a book tour @markfrost.bsky.social !

Great shot here. Done with a camera shooting a mirror at the bottom of the pool, rather than using the costly and difficult set-up of putting a camera in the water.

Good for a laugh: Part 8 "fills in all the gaps." (Really? I guess the author got everything he needed from it. If you ask me, he's misreading *a lot* of what happened here.)

David Foster Wallace was a great admirer of David Lynch, and I believe he found inspiration in #TwinPeaks. Check out Wallace's short story, "Oblivion," which, like Twin Peaks, deals with dreams and unreliable narration. It also contains this not-so-subtle reference:

Back when it aired, and still to this day, it was genius to me. It brought back so much of the weirdness that #Twinpeaks was lacking for a bit. There are so many wonderful scenes in it, starting with the Nadine/Norma/Ed scene which is staged wonderfully. #dianekeaton #dianekeatonRIP #RIP #Davidlynch

Thinking about the importance of "waking" in #TwinPeaks:
Lynch:
1)"One day we wake up and realize [our life] was a dream--and we realize who we truly are."
2) "You die, you have a little time in a dream, and you come back."
Laura: "I saw what is was, and it was so beautiful. I was awake."
Lynch:
1)"One day we wake up and realize [our life] was a dream--and we realize who we truly are."
2) "You die, you have a little time in a dream, and you come back."
Laura: "I saw what is was, and it was so beautiful. I was awake."

Thanks for the kind words! You made my day!
When I was in France last week, I had a birthday - and one brilliant gift was @thornewip.bsky.social's Devious Dreams: reimagining David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Possibly my favourite Lynch film, explored by my favourite writer on Lynch.

Added three new book to my Lynch/Twin peaks library. All seem like good books with much to offer. I’m on the fence about a fourth book though (second pic); it’s handsome (and Wrapped in Plastic gets a mention!), but it’s pretty much an overview of Lynch’s career without any real depth.

I'm happy to see this panel about fashion and costuming design in #TwinPeaks finally show up on YouTube. It's really worth a watch. (And yes, that's me at the 1-hour mark--you can barely hear it--asking about Ben Horne's polka-dot ties.)
