I think there's something wrong with me. I just bought a reasonably expensive bar of soap, just because it smelled amazing. I don't even use soap. I also found this beautiful little soap dish with some sort of opalescent glaze, so I bought that to go with it.

Which I guess is something people do, but...

Now it's on the shelf above my bathroom sink. My bathroom's gross. Beard hair, cat hair, dust, toothpaste stains up to the ceiling. Some other stains I am unable to identify. Now amidst all that filth there's a delicate ceramic soap dish with a wonderfully fragrant bar of soap on it.

I think I'm going to put it on my nightstand instead. Who says you can't? I want to fall asleep in that scent.

Maybe this is like a watershed moment in my transition from unhygienic student into sophisticated adult. Having some nice soap on your nightstand, that seems pretty classy.

I just got the smallest tax return I've ever had in my life and instead of doing TurboTax for free, I had to pay $120 because I also lost $400 in stocks

Hey Grey, over the course of the last week I watched that five hour youtube dissertation on Twin Peaks

Here's buddy's take;
Twin Peaks was constructed as a twist on the television murder mystery to the extent that in typical syndicated shows of the era there was a new investigation every week, audiences expected closure and did not care about the characters who were murdered, only in the mystery of whodunit. The point of Twin Peaks was to have the audience constantly learn more about Laura, the good she did, and the bad she did, showing the full range of depth the character embodied, beyond a corpse for the police to find the killer of. That much is pretty surface level, the greater symbolic sub-text meaning he ascertains Lynch intended and provides five hours of supporting evidence for is TV is rotting your brain. Yep. And he makes a solid argument for it.

you don't want to perform cleanliness, you want to imbibe it

Cool. Was it worth it? Do you recommend it?

The first half, I can see that. Especially with FWWM in the mix. Do any specific examples spring to mind with regards to the second half? I don't want to oversimplify, but is part of his argument "the series is intentionally vague/nonsensical/surreal to instill, or rather, emulate that sort of tv-induced 'brain rot' in the viewer"? As a sort of metacommentary? Because if so, ugh...


I'ma imbibe right now.

If you're willing to make the time to watch it, it's entertaining. And no, that's not the argument at all. Everything is substantiated with either examples from within Twin Peaks (S1, S2, FWWM, Log Lady, The Return), or things Lynch has said.

[GreyClock]

Post some of those examples if you will.

I've been imbibing since last I posted, so I'm a little fuzzy, but: how can it not be part of the argument? If the main point is supposed to  be "TV is rotting your brain", surely it's relevant that that's the main point of a TV show on a major TV network? (Y'know, kinda like when Seinfeld had that arc where they do the show about nothing.) Also, everything vague/nonsensical/surreal is just incidental to the brain rot message? Lynch being Lynch. (Which, to be clear, is exactly how I feel about Lynch. He's not trying to be weird for the sake of being weird, he's just a weird fucker.) Or does it tie in in other ways? Maybe I should hold my questions until after I've seen the five hour presentation.

[RobClock]

the 'TV is rotting your brain' subtext is pretty deeply buried. To pull examples of it from the video would be paraphrasing at best because he spends a majority of those five hours mulling through little details which mount continuously into the grander point.

I didn't expect a quiz, i wasn't taking notes, im sorry

You'd have to provide examples of nonsensical/surreal, but as for 'vague', that's the whole hook- the continuously unwinding mystery that keeps you invested as a viewer. The mystery is good, conclusions are bad.

If you guys like Twin Peaks, you should play (or watch a longplay of) Deadly Premonition.  It's heavily inspired by it.
