: - ) ALL All Things Peaks

[secretlettermkr]

I saw the Return in Full HD back in the day. Watching it in 4k for the first time years later was a jaw dropping experience. It really magnified the realism in and it's juxtapose in surrealism. I enjoyed it in the Lodge scenes all the more. I do get why more details can be bothersome. 4k can often have a sense of hyperrealism, which used to be a niche art form but is now common on household screens. I too feel that it does not quite fit a whole lot of film, but for The Return I found it especially great.

only PART 8 : "GOTTA LIGHT?" exist on 4k

Gosh. I'm sorry for the misinformation friends . I streamed it in a remote apartment I had for work that came with a huge 4k tv. It seems I thought the Return was in 4k but now that I looked it up it doesn't seems the case (Ah yes, what secret letter said). The colors and clarity definitely seemed much better though. I remember seeing tons of details that I never noticed before. Guess it was mostly the humongous screen size and somewhat better colors ^^'

Yes, that could be for any number of reasons. Many have commented on how the original streaming quality was nothing compared to the Blu-ray release, which does come across as something resembling 4K. It's hard to imagine it looking much better. In your case, streaming it, you might have had a better signal/compression, bigger/better screen, darker room, etc. Viewers who watched through Showtime via Prime in 2017 also reported that it looked better there than through the actual standalone Showtime app, which certainly looked better than it did airing on cable. Lots of factors.

Regardless of 3.2K or 4K, I agree with your assessment of The Return's realism and surrealism as enhanced by the digital of it all.

Tis the season! (this is an EP of Christmas instrumentals arranged and performed in the style of Twin Peaks music)

Happy new year everyone! I’m coming to north bend on Feb 24th! Hoping to meet you guys if possible

Hello All! Happy Holidays and a yrev very Happy New Year! I wasn't quite sure where to put these, but here are some photos of my Twin Peaks Themed Christmas Tree from this year! I also included some of my favorite sections of the tree! It's my first year doing one, so hopefully as the years go by it will get more and more detailed!! Do y'all have any suggestions for ornaments/ sections for next year's tree?

Just wanted to point out that the new Z - A box set is currently only $55.29 on Amazon right now. To get the entire original series, film, Missing Pieces and Return, along with all those extra features for under $60.00 is an insane deal! I'm just hoping the discs aren't stacked...which they probably will be. Even so, for anyone who has been waiting for the right price, this is a great opportunity.

I'm so relieved this set has been released. I've been rewatching my Entire Mystery set and was disheartened to find that one of the discs has an episode that is corrupted ... and, interestingly enough, in the same places corroborated by others. I guess that set, or some copies of that set, were pressed in the same bad manner. My Z-A set ended up serving a backup purpose.

Ever since, I've been worried about the exclusive discs to Z-A ever going south, as it would be so cost prohibitive to get replacements. I bought the new set just for backups (of my backups)!

I had coincidentally began a re-watch of the Entire Mystery the evening before "the news" hit. I'm curious which disc/episode had the corruption? I suppose I've lucked out as I've not had any issues.

And talk about back up to back ups . . . I have two sets of The Entire Mystery, two sets of the original Z to A and will undoubtedly purchase the new and upcoming set eventually.

Talk about a diehard when it comes to physical media . . .

I'm curious which disc/episode had the corruption?

Episode 5. It's right when the wonderful cabin trek begins. There begins to be some weird lateral distortion, as if the episode is streaked with the black bars of a classified document, which persists for the rest of the episode, plus scenes begin to skip.

There's one shot in particular that kind of attains a neat, unintended atmosphere, akin to driving around between the cross-talk of dueling radio signals, creating a never-to-be-recreated remix, where Josie is sitting and smoking in shadow and the corruption gives it the flavor of the S3 mauve room scenes.

Jose in a mauve room scene.

Actually that sounds pretty cool.

Not to be dismissive of the aggravation of a flawed disc of course.

I will say, not a great fucking start to this foul year of our Lord, 2025 (to echo Hunter S Thompson).

How are you guys coping? Drowning my sorrows and listening to Moving Through Time on repeat, myself.

Have been putting off a full rewatch of Peaks for a minute now. I guess I won't be putting it off much longer anymore.
Also going to have to buy Z to A, I've never owned it. I really want those Behind the Curtain features. Unfortunately I just missed the discount, what do you guys think are the chances it's discounted again in the near future, due to reasons? Does it make sense they might do that again?

 

[Ickles]

Honestly, and this probably sounds pretty weak, I haven't actually been able to bring myself to watch or listen to any Lynch stuff since the news yesterday. I know "Too Soon, Bro" is a bit of a meme but...yeah, it's a bit too soon. Like I would like to just get lost in the material and not constantly wipe tears from my eyes the whole time because I'm focusing on the loss. Been coping via focusing on other stuff and trying to find some escapism in other entertainment. I do want to sit down and go through a massive rewatch of Lynch's works (for the 900th time in my life) but I'll probably need at least a week or two.

I watched The Art Life just to see him alive and talking and creating. Some weather reports. And those YouTube videos he made last year dubbing over Detour to promote the Chrystabell album. Just light, fun stuff. I'm not quite ready to watch any of his major works yet.

The Z to A box is still $55.29 on Barnes & Noble. Amazon chose to raise the price of the box just yesterday, and I can't help but see that as intentional, as I assume they suspect there may be an influx of sales. Which is of course despicably sad.

I haven't really been able to bring myself to scan the internet for articles, but I'm glad to be part of this community and read your thoughts, and see some of the tributes posted in Mr. Reindeer's thread. I'm absolutely devastated, but there's some solace in seeing that so many others seem to feel the same, that he touched so many people at such a deep level. David Lynch was truly a positive force of pure creative energy, and while the works and inspiration remain, it does feel as if the universe has been altered, as though a planet had fallen out of the sky. It's at least heartening to see people unite in a shared understanding that someone special and irreplaceable has been lost. The wellspring of love even feels like the culture itself is acknowledging, if only for a day or two, the spiritual divide that exists between the day-to-day Hollywood hustle and a true, one-of-a-kind artist.

I didn't know what to do with myself after getting home from work yesterday, but upon entering the kitchen I saw that my girlfriend had bought me a cherry pie as well as some ramen noodles that were branded "Fire Wok." I was so out of it that it took me a minute to even comprehend the connection. I had been planning a Twin Peaks rewatch once the new box came out, but it's not like I was going to eat a cherry pie and watch something by another filmmaker, so the decision was cautiously made to dive back into Twin Peaks. The original pilot felt no less great or enjoyable, but it was shaded by extra layers of uncertainty and melancholy. I am excited to watch more, but I'm already anticipating even stronger and stranger reactions to upcoming scenes.

I guess above all things that my mind keeps circling back to, I can't help but think what a great and wondrous gift The Return remains, now more than ever.

I could have never predicted the conflicting feeling I have right now. On one hand I'm warmed by the love so inspired, but man, can I not shake the feeling that the world is suddenly, literally, irreversibly worse than it was a week ago. I'm not saying Lynch was the sole force holding the tide or anything, but we were already collectively quite short of heroes. The events of the past week feel like they've ended Hollywood. Whatever ideal there was to be argued existed in that place might as well be the furthest ago distant historical footnote.

The fact that Lynch’s birthday is (would have been) on inauguration day…well, I’ll stop myself right there, to avoid violating any forum rules.
