Hell look at Star Trek, Dark Shadows, Brisco County, etc etc cult shows who's popularity remains BECAUSE of the new materials released.
Give it back to Frost and Engels, who i am sure will give us new items. I am not going to deny or doubt his genius, because he is absolutely awesome, but his handling of Twin Peaks has been a disgrace. At least authorize a novel or comic, give us SOMETHING other than re-issues to make more cash.Īs for trusting the genius of Lynch when it comes to Peaks, he already treats it like a bastard son, what makes you think he would be able to recapture anything? It IS an insult to us, especially when I am sure he loves the paychecks he receives. I am 100 percent sure that these DVD's and CD's are going to make him more money than any Inland Empire or short film he will ever produce again and STILL he acts like TP is the end of his career and wants nothing to do with it. I am SO happy someone finally has said this. The graphic novel would have been perfect, and all the classic TP crew were so behind it, but Lynch in his selfishness nixed it, and now it's too late.
We've wanted something for a long time, and it matters what we think, what Harley Peyton thinks, what Bob Engels thinks, and ESPECIALLY what Mark Frost thinks.Ī television or movie series is out of the question, because all the ensemble cast are too old.
A lot of people give him a great deal of respect, but I think it's about time he gives his fans some respect.
I frankly don't care what David Lynch thinks. Oh well, worst comes to worst, I'll wait for Rainy Woods: the Movie! I often wonder how people will react if Mark Frost's The List of Seven film ever gets made, given it features Twin Peaks elements such as the Black Lodge! Why would people like Lynch, who made something wonderful 17 years ago and have continued to progress as artists (rather than lock themselves away on a ranch pretending the America Civil War never happened, a la George Lucas) no longer have something relevant to say about the fascinating world of Twin Peaks? I can understand why people might worry about TP being spoilt, but there are people here who seem to think that even the contributions of the talents behind the original show would make something outrightly dire, not even just passable (I'd rather see nothing than 'passable,' it has to be said!) People seem to have a gobsmacking lack of faith in the creators and original contributors to the Twin Peaks myth. Kingsoprano718, don't forget the bit where Sylvester Stallone storms the Black Lodge in the A-Team's van and machine guns the inhabitants! I for one am offended by that, and upset by what almost was.
What I am mainly upset about is the fact the the graphic novel WAS going to be made, and Lynch made the decision for us of whether to ignore it or not. I agree wholeheartedly that the un-finished "write your own ending" style of episode 29's cliffhanger is a lot of the magic and charm, and it was fun for 20 years to write my own stories. The 30 episodes will still be able to stand alone, or they could be combined with whatever prequels and sequels are made. And if it was rubbish, then we can ignore it (as I have already chosen to do with Fire Walk With Me). I think after 20 years would have been the perfect time to do a follow up graphic novel. If there's one thing we should have learned from the second season is that Twin Peaks will go places you could never imagine from looking at what came before. but that's because they could probably do far better than that and do things that no one could expect.
