I started this series in 2020 to stay sane during the pandemic, and I've been going through the show episode by episode since. It has been my heart and soul. I love Twin Peaks, and I love David Lynch. I hope that your appreciation of the series has grown with my analysis. Thank you <3

And here we are

The final essay in my TWIN PEAKS series. Episode 18.

Let's return home.

www.patreon.com/posts/147251...
an image of the Palmer household from the final episode of TWIN PEAKS All the cliche’s about what a home should feel like are true. David Lynch had a tranquil and lovely childhood by all accounts, and while his family bounced around the United States due to his father’s government job, he could rely on the concept of home through the stability of his family. But when he was young he became curious about what it must be like to live in a home that wasn’t stable, and his imagination was alight pondering what secrets would be revealed if he knew what was going on behind the closed doors of his neighbors. He was inquisitive and pulled to that central taboo in his artistic pursuits. While growing up, he loved the paintings of Edward Hopper, because his art contained a dimension beyond the painting through the usage of windows, or secondary action in the background of the painting, that suggested a secret quality, and he loved Francis Bacon because he laid bare everything surreal that a closed door could shield from day-to-day life. Lynch wanted to take us inside of private spaces. Through the intimacy of the home, he showed us people who were experiencing things that were horrible, but inside of that darkness that he gravitated towards, there was also the potential for beauty. He found that in the case of a troubled woman, he could paint a canvas where both of these elements were present at the same time. Perfect, blonde, beautiful All-American Prom Queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), was often disembodied, behind a pane of glass, inside a locket, in a painting and in a dream. In low-angle establishing shots, the foreboding, and haunted Palmer home fills every inch of the frame, from time to time, in so many episodes of Twin Peaks. Lynch rarely started from the outside in when showing us the home, only in the pilot, beside mother Sarah (Grace Zabriskie), frantically dialing everyone she knew to find her daughter, or running up the stairs, past the ceiling fan, and calling out, “Laura”, as an incantation to halt what she already knew

Mr Catilina, you said that as we jump into the future, we should do so unafraid. But what if when we do jump into the future and there is something to be afraid of?

Every fucking day of my life I think about this movie.

I wrote about Andrew Dominik's wildly contentious BLONDE, a brilliant lurching nightmare of a movie lodged so deep in Norma Jean Baker's sense of self that it becomes actively nauseating. I loved it.

Just watched @veradrew22.bsky.social's 'The People's Joker'

It was inspirational, aspirational, and genuinely just enjoyable to watch.
Cinema is so fucking back.
You should absolutely watch it if you feel lost at all as an artist.

Everyone should take a couple of minutes and watch this, because it's a perfect illustration of how ICE disappears people by making it almost impossible to communicate with family, friends, and lawyers.
