For my $29, I got my Sheriff's Department coffee mug, my TP address, and three of the promised 12 issues. They stopped publishing when the show went off the air, saying that they would instead publish the occasional issue. I expected to see something near the release of FWWM, but didn't. With the show long gone, and the movie come and gone in a number of markets, I think you might have a considerable problem trying to find enough of an audience - especially a paying audience, especially if they are former Gazette subscribers - to make it worth your while. A weeks worth of this net, is usually far more interesting than the three Gazettes I got combined. Mark </pre> <hr><a target="right" href="/fwwm/index.txt">Return</a></body></html>[src]

No. Can't he acknowledge beauty?
I would, more practically, link Desmond's expression to Cooper's:
it's that childlike energy Coop brings to his investigations seen
in Desmond. (i.e., "The idea for all of this really... came from
a dream?" - with a big grin, "Yes... It did.").

Agent Stanlet said straight out why Desmond was going back to
the trailer park: for the Blue Rose. Desmond follows "vibes"
to the Chalfont trailer, according to the script, and Coop
follows the same ones when he arrives at the park later on.
The montage in that sequence is dealing with the "beep beep
beep" in the phone poles, as well as the location of the
Chalfont trailer in relation to the Deputy Drug Dealer's
trailer and Teresa's trailer.

Of all the things going on in those sequences, love isn't
one. I disagree.

JAPAN CD/LASER DISCS justice@cyberden.uucp 1992-10-10 17:45
I went out and ordered the Peaks Mania CD, and was so happy when it came
in, but the tracks are available in the US!
The 5 tracks different from the regular US CD are as follows:
* = Track not on US version.
1. Twin Peaks Theme
2. Rockin Back Inside My Heart (Tibetian 12" Mix) *
3. " " (Bonus Beat) *
4. " " (A Capella) *
5. " " (Tibetian Dub) *
6. The World Spins *
7. Into the Night
w<n[$vmo0k;{<&U_e
xy6M
8. Falling
9. Laura Palmers Theme
Definately not worth the $40 I spent for it, but a nice compilation in
its own right.
The Japan TP Picture laser disc is a great find. It has the TP Soundtrack
with scenery from TP. Worth it's weight in gold. Hard to find, but worth
the look.

Maresy Doats and Prosey Thoughts.... kwest@andromeda.rutgers.edu (Kenneth C West) 1992-10-11 12:44
Hey, Peakers. I have a thought: anyone want to write some Twin
Peaks-based stories? I'd like to, but I have no concepts yet. Anyone else?
I think it'd be fun. They wouldn't have to be specific to the show or movie,
as long as they take place in the TP universe. In other words, they don't have
to involve Lynch's characters, as long as they are set in the world of TP.
Or, if you have definite theories on what's going on in TP and FWWM, you
could write your own sequel. Or, hey -write tales of woe from years before
Laura kicked it, or years after.
Anyone interested, please post or E-mail.

questions about Mrs Tremond sbiles@nmsu.edu (Susannah E Biles) 1992-10-11 17:14
I have a few questions concerning Mrs. Tremond and her grandson. Okay...they have been seen at the convenience store. They have been seen by Laura (in FWWM), by Donna (In the series), and the grandson was seen by Leland (In FWWM). So...are they entities like BOB and MIKE, or are they "real" people who just have access to the lodges? The "people" that Leland and Donna see...are they real? Or are they "seeing things" like when people "see" BOB? IF they are entites..are they just showing their 'real' selves? Or is there some old woman and her grandson whose bodies are being used for a purpose? And if so...where are the real occupants of the bodies?

My idea is that Mrs Tremond (the old woman) is the host.
Her "grandson" is the same as BOB, MIKE and The Giant - an
inhabbiting spirit. This is reconciled with Donna bringing
Cooper back to Harold's development only to discover a fat
middle-aged woman called Mrs Tremond instead of the one who
requested no creamed corn by the mention in FWWM that
four Chalfonts in a row rented the same spot in the trailer
park.

Leland/BOB, Gerard/MIKE (LMFAP), Senor Droolcup/The Giant and
Mrs Tremond/Her "Grandson" are designed in stages, each giving
us more knowledge than the last about how possession is
accomplished, why its accomplished, and how the pair live
together.
Leland/BOB was the first pair, and tension in the mystery
revolved mainly around masking the process - so it was
masked.
Senor Droolcup/The Giant were meant to give us more
information - showing that they were "one in the same"
by always having the one's appearances foreshadowed
by the other (Senor).
In FWWM, Mrs Tremond/Her "Grandson" are there to show
Laura that there is "a man behind the mask."
An interesting aside about Mrs Tremond: Laura thinks her
secret diary will be safe with Harold Smith because BOB
doesn't know anything about him... but look at who his
next door neighbors were. (More fuel for the theory that
these beings have a basically benign goal and that BOB is
the equivalent of a drug addict doing anything to get his
next hit).

I'm not prepared to say the the grandson is an inhabiting spirit, but he does appear to be a magician. The MFAP and he both rub their hands and do magic tricks. So does the Giant/SDC. So it would appear that there are indeed three different instances of the same general type. However, note that there are some differences here. The old woman and her grandson always appear together while the Giant and SDC never do. The relationship between the MFAP and Mike is somewhat confusing. Some of what is presented identifies MFAP with Mike's arm while the OAM is identified with the rest of Mike.

Yes, they're the same general type, but there are three
different purposes: Leland/BOB introduces us to the type,
without revealing much (BOB is scary). Senor Droolcup and
The Giant tell us more about the possession - it shows
the man as separate from the "inhabbiting spirit."
Gerard/MIKE reveal a lot more: Coop - and we - have been shown
the scariness of Leland/BOB, been given a little more knowledge
with the foreshadowing of The Giant by Senor Droolcup... This
is the first time in Twin Peaks (when Coop interrogates Mike,
episode before Maddie is killed) that Coop, or anyone, actively
seeks answers from one of the spirits - in other words, they've
hauled in someone who actually KNEW the killer for the first time,
except that the killer is an alien (of sorts).
> >However, note that there are some differences here. The old woman and her

Correct - and this is in keeping with my idea on Mrs Tremond and
Her "Grandson" as I explained just above ^
The

Agreed.
Some of

I see it as simpler than this tho. When MIKE and BOB were
partners, actively seeking out and terrorizing humans to
drain them of FIRE, they were the equivalent of drunks -
addicted to the FIRE in people. They were supposed to be
gathering the ambient garmonbozia - fear and suffering -
that humans gave off. But they found they could take more
than that - and it was ecstasy. They took more than the
fear and suffering of humans, they took joy and happiness
and everything -- FIRE.
Then MIKE saw the error of his ways, got on the wagon and
took his arm off. Perhaps this is the arm MIKE's kind
use to gather the garmonbozia - remember BOB exiting
glastonbury grove that firsst time, arm first? Like that.
That arm remained personified as the LMFAP in the Lodge
world. So perhaps the arm is still a little malevolant,
but the rest of MIKE is a reformed alcoholic.
Hm... This is confusing! :-)
I suspect that part of what is going

By Lynch, you mean? I don't see it that way at all: I think
we're being shown examples of different "characters" of BOB's
kind, and all of them are characters designed to give us more
knowledge - incrementally - of the mythology actively involved
with humans in Twin Peaks.

In article <ldbhs8INNgla@news.bbn.com> ingria@bbn.com (Bob Ingria) writes: I think is was James Blish who had one of his characters say: ``The laws of magic are not so much illogical as analogical.'' Think also of the magical principle of the law of correspondences; e.g. to invoke a particular spiritual force, you dress in the color particular to that being, eat the food favored by him/her, etc. I think you're right on the money here. Yes, I believe you're right. It's a very intuitive way to look at things and recognizes that certain underlying principles always apply. [my theory about the dwarves and giants being modern day myth creatures deleted] There are various analysts who say similar things about UFOs, etc. i.e. that they appear in the guise appropriate to the age in which they are found: imps in the medieval period, balloonists in the 19th century, extra-terrestrials in the 20th, etc. Whether one buys that for ``the real world'', you're probably right about what's goin on in TP. I recommend "Communion" by Whitley Strieber, regardless of whether you believe his story (and I don't necessarily but that's another story). He has a very nice account of this currently fashionable theory among UFOlogists. He also goes on at some length about the belief that the "visitors" implant memories of animals, particularly owls, as "cover" memories within the minds of contactees to hide their activities. It's easy to get skeptical about this sort of thing, but if you treat it as a novel, it's really quite an entertaining and thought-provoking read, and a real antidote to years of incredibly poor UFO books. Whitley Strieber is far-removed from Erich VonDaniken and his ilk. Incidentally, I'd also recommend the books "Mythago Wood", "Lavondyss" and "The Bone Forest" by Robert Holdstock which also has some intriguing parallels to Twin Peaks. The story is about an ancient, primal woodland and the mythological beings that emerge from it. I won't spoil some of the really cool stuff, but let it suffice to say that TP fans will find much material to think about. I'm also reminded of CS Lewis' idea that other worlds are populated by the creatures of our mythology (Arthur C. Clarke used this idea as well in "Childhood's End") which implies to me that conversely, perhaps our world and its denizens form the basis of another world's myths. Wonderful post, by the way! I truly enjoyed it. Thank you. It really pleases me that at some level, Lynch et al decided to pursue some of these ideas. I'm told that Mark Frost was the one initially interested in pursuing some of the supernatural angles but I think it's Lynch's approach of reducing these strange beings and forces to very banal, almost mundane levels is what makes it so fascinating. I'm also pretty much convinced that many of Lynch's films are further examinations of these same ideas. Wild at Heart in particular, is full of images of fire, sinister Voodoo and other bits of business that indicate that Lynch seems to be building an overall "world" that his characters occupy. Also remember Blue Velvet with "Frank" and his mob and the weird dancing and singing that accompanied his activities. Once again, a theme that runs through this stuff is that these evil beings are frequently ordinary people who've somehow gotten caught up in a bizarre form of destructive magic. Obviously, the significance of dreams is another theme. There are less significant (or at least on the surface) parallels as well, such as Lynch's obsession with women crying hard and screwing up their faces in sadness and horror and the less than pleasant theme that women who get involved in kinky sex tend to suffer for it. A less likely paralle, though I'm not willing to toally dismiss it, is Frank's reliance on a drug that while administered somewhat like Nitrous Oxide, is obviously something else. Could it be a gaseous form of haliperidol? The role of haliperidol in the TP world has never been adequately explained, Gerard seems to use it to keep MIKE at bay, Windom Earle used it and used it on Major Briggs (who promptly started to speak in riddles and another language) and BOB gave it to Ronette Pulaski. I think that Laura and er, Dorothy (isn't that the name of Isabella Rosselini's character?) arevery similar. We don't know how Dorothy got involved, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was very much like Laura and BOB, with Frank taking the BOB role. Frank and BOB need much more than to just do evil, they seem to draw strength from fear and suffering, particularly that of women (though BOB obviously abused Leland sexually and Frank humiliates Jeffrey with the lipstick as well). Frank also turns to Jeffrey at one point and says "You're exactly like me", which is another strong parallel to TP in that it's plainly obvious to all and sundry that Cooper obviously has the stuff to be an evil entity - BOB doesn't simply possess people, he insinuates himself into people's lives. I think he plays up to the aspects of his character that he recognizes in other people, hence BOB saying, "Just like in Pittsburgh". The parallel to Windom Earle here goes without saying. At this point, I hope that David Lynch makes at least one more TP movie, but my stronger hope is that his subsequent movies (from what I understand, Ronnie Rocket is next) continue to pursue thse ideas. I've alwasy been mystified by the seeming lack of interest among TP fans in Lynch's other movies.

Japan release of FWWM xepo@csd4.csd.uwm.edu (Scott R Violet) 1992-10-13 11:53
HI, After hearing all of this about Japan getting to see FWWM first, and then it being released on tape there in the next couple of months of have to wonder why they get it before us? I am not in any way being racist or anything, just wondering why a film produced in the US, at least I think it was, would be released some where else first? Any ideas?

Re: WiseGuy vs TP achapman@unixg.ubc.ca (Aaron Chapman) 1992-10-13 12:51
The television program "Wiseguy" took place right here in Vancouver, British Columbia. Not to mention the fact that it was filmed here as well. Vancouver has about 2.3 million people in it if memory serves, and that doesn't seem like too small a population to me. I think David Lynch's penchant for small-towns is because he grew up in fairly rural areas where the populations were pretty small. Since his father worked for the government, they moved a lot, and I don't think Lynch really ever settled down long enough to make a lot of close friends. This probably caused him to be alone a lot of the time and to be with his own thoughts. When he went to art school in Philadelphia, it must have been a big change to go to a big city like that for him. I'm being completely presumptuous of course, but all my information would suggest that the fact that Twin Peaks place in small town has more to do with his own background than the Wiseguy television show. </pre> <hr><a target="right" href="/fwwm/index.txt">Return</a></body></html>[src]

It's simple: the Japanese have better TASTE than we do.
They like Twin Peaks - as a country - a whole lot more
than we do. FWWM made a killing over there, breaking
even just in Japan alone.
That's why they get it first.
(FWWM wasn't an American production, by the way, it
was produced by Francois Boygeous - spelling corrections
welcome - who runs the French production company with
which Lynch has a five-picture deal).
Shortly thereafter, the health of Annie
Blackburn still in question, the behavior
of Special Agent Dale Cooper was noticed

Because TWIN PEAKS is *much* more popular there, bordering on obsession.
If Dave Lynch decides he wanted to start up the series again, he'd
probably have no shortage of Japanese supporters.

Next saturday (oct 16th) it will be episode 4th (or third). I am not watching it, so I don't know if it is in bilingual mode.

type of fanzine, which still doesn't have a name. I hope that anyone who
wishes to be a part of this write to:
Brian Kursar

Poems, Drawings, reviews, or just plain nonscence will be greatly
appreciated. It wilde numerous findings, quirks, and lots of stuff that
peaks fans will be sure to find interesting. Well, I leave you with a
final note - I need help, so please write or E-Mail me.
Sincerely,
Brian (Justice) Kursar

TP Chronology, and 2012 Mitchell.Porter@bbs.oit.unc.edu (Mitchell Porter) 1992-10-14 02:09
Is there a comprehensive TP/TP-related chronology available anywhere?
A couple of weeks ago a poster mentioned that Laura told Dale (in the
Black Lodge) See you in 25 years' - and as I think the events of TP
took place around 1987, that would mean that they were to meet again
in 2012 - which is a year that is thrown around a lot in New Age circles
as being end of the current cycle/aeon/what-have-you. Is this another
esoteric reference by Lynch or just a coincidence?

In the second-season premiere, Andy dates the previous year's events (i.e. Leo being locked up in Hungry Horse, Montana) as being in 1988. So Twin Peaks takes place in 1989, though the Autobiography of Dale Cooper slides things forward into 1990. So the next cycle of events will happen in 2014, not 2012. </pre> <hr><a target="right" href="/fwwm/index.txt">Return</a></body></html>[src]
TP: "Fire Walk With Me" review/essay (SPOILERS) jgp@raid.Rational.COM (Jim Pellmann) 1992-10-14 13:37
This is courtesy of jm0i@Lehigh.EDU (Joseph McVeigh), who does not
have access to the alt.tv.twin-peaks newsgroup.
There are *SPOILERS* to the TV series and movie below!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is the entire text of a story from a publication called
"Pittsburgh City Paper", in their Sept 9-15, 1992 edition. It was
forwarded to me (through some local friends) by a friend of mine, a big
fan living in Pittsburgh.
FYI, my "source" for the Pittsburgh City Paper" clipping has decided to
cultivate her bit of Twin Peaks fame. It's only right, in that she is a public
personality anyway. Additionally, she has no Usenet node and the only way to
thank her is to listen to her.
She's Marcia Gan, a DJ in Pittsburgh. She's been following the ongoing news
from the Usenet via downloaded and printed messages from Yours Truly.
I think the least Peaks Freaks can do is listen to her show when and if
they're in Pittsburgh. She's on "97 Rock", from 7 PM - 12M.
There are many "technical" errors, mostly spelling misconceptions.
Punctuation errors are corrected without notation, as are glaring word
omissions; other lapses are indicated by the standard [sic], which I'll
eschew for recurrences of the same mistake. There will of course be
errors of transcription, for which I will assume blame; please direct
your comments to me: jm0i@lehigh.edu.
I assume no responsibility for, and make no comment on, the accuracy of
either the description or the analysis. This text is reprinted without
anyone's permission.

THANK YOU for pointing this out. I noticed the "blue roses" bit too; it
took me a couple of weeks to remember that it was from the Glass

Anyone around here received a letter from "StarPics Inc." recently?
If so what do ya think about what they are up to? (In case anyone is
unaware "StarPics" are the people who publish the 76 card "Twin Peaks"
CarArt set, you know like baseball cards). It seems that "StarPics"
is now offering for a price autographed Twin Peaks cast member cards
and they 'aint cheap...
Sheryl Lee (as Laura Palmer) $60.00
Sheryl Lee (as M. Ferguson) $45.00
Kyle MacLachian (as Agent Cooper) $60.00
Michael Ontkean (as Sheriff Truman) $45.00
etc...
etc...
When I originally purchased the card set from StarPics they said
there were randomly placed autographed cast members cards in some of
the sets and some "lucky people" would find them, anyone know any of
these "lucky people" who found one of these autographed cards in there
set? I sure don't! And now they show up for sale from StarPics at
these prices?
Excuse me but I think I smell one of Pete's trouts in the coffee pot
if ya know what I mean :-)
