James is still cool

i'd fuck james desu

No Lynch, no. You're not writing your way out of Season 2 James.

just youuuu and iiiiiiii

>Lynch rehashes the bar scene with julee cruise
>has shelly saying "yeah, he's still cool" to acknowledge the rehash and that it's 100% nostalgia pandering
genius

>>83081133

Say what you want, it was a good and cathartic scene.

>>83081133
yes there is a lot of self parody in it. great stuff. my favorite bit "he is normal" and the "motorcycle accident" : could it be nudge to fans poking fun about aging cast with odd plastic surgery that is not well recognizable

This is one of the best moments of TV that I've ever seen.

>>83081420
I actually agree with this and needed it but I will never stop hating James for his stupid S2 storyline.

>>83080061
>"He had a motorcycle accident and is a little quiet now."
James was the worst, but that still hit me hard. Dunno why.

>>83082545
It did make his return a little melancholic.
But don't worry man. He's still cool.

>>83080061
Emotional scene, i felt nostalgia..

>>83082545
This added to how awkward and nervous he was really got to me. He's just in a sad state.

How the fuck does Lynch do it? Seriously, it's just people talking in a crowded bar and moody singing and it's the most I've felt watching tv this year.

>>83083361
He has some divine insight into emotion. The early shot of water flowing up gently and then being split and made tumultuous by the rock that splits the current, followed by the title appearing and the theme song, made me feel so calm and relieved and happy. And I smiled each time a character was reintroduced, especially Lily and her giant eyes and Ben Horne and his "Ben" log. Just genius.

>>83082545

i-i liked james

>>83080061
What a great scene to end the return episode. I like how the comfy Twin Peaks only comes at the very end, Lynch must have wanted a nice pleb buffer in the first 80% of the episode.

Who's the guy that "Shoots" Shelley?

Also, the first ep was a 6.5, the second one a solid 9.

Lynch just put him in there as a big fuck you to the audience for not accepting him.

This scene was better than people give it credit for. It comes right before Madeline's vision of Bob appearing out of nowhere and crawling over the couch towards her, and having this extended, hyper-corny but sincere sing along scene right before that really highlights the fear of the end of innocence that pervades the show. People hate James, but if the writers and producers hadn't thrown him into that garbage Season 2 plotline I think his character and "Just You" would be remembered a lot more fondly.

t. Not James Marshall

>>83086749
retarded /v/edditors like to make up these fan theories and then apply them to every director of anything ever made, then repeat them ad nauseum and call everyone who disagrees a fanboy
You live in a bubble and are cancer for every kind of sane discussion or even fun shitposting, please keep to your autism awareness board while we try to have some fun

>>83086719
it's true tho

What do you all think about the actual Twin Peaks stuff in Twin Peaks? I love all the crazy Lynch stuff that goes on in the first three episodes. The actual Twin Peaks stuff during those episodes doesn't quite tonally fit with the rest of the show, but they're still good especially in moderation. But then Episode 4 feels like it was written entirely by Mark Frost. It feels way more conventional, and more like the heavily nostalgic old-man show I was worried this would be.

>>83080061
Did Shelley and James even interact in the original series?

I'm assuming the "accident" killed Donna

>>83086898
>I'm assuming the "accident" killed Donna
I fucking hope so.

>>83086798
People only hate James for his subplot.

That's it. Everyone who disagrees is in denial.

>>83082545

It's actually a subtle reference to Gary Busey, who had a role in Lynch's film "Lost Highway", confirming that the two Coops form a mobius continuity.

>>83082545
same, i immediately remembered how much i made fun of him and felt it bite me
>'hes just quiet now"
brutal.

>>83086852
You must be a brainlet if you don't think that was a meta scene regarding general audience reaction of James.

>>83086920
On one level it's kind of a valid reason to dislike the character when regarding the original show in retrospect, but at the same time he was far from the only way it went to shit. The shit with Billy Zane, Nadine thinking she's a teenager, Josie turning into a doorknob, all that was fucking stupid. Yeah the James plot sucked, but it was a symptom rather than the cause. And considering the new series is gonna be entirely the product of Lynch and Frost from start to finish, there's no reason to think James will go in the direction he went after they lost control of their show.

This. And when they implied Lucy is suffering from early onset Alzheimer's and Andy's too stupid to do anything about it

>>83086882
The Twin Peaks stuff feels crucial to the plot for me. Hawk was told that "something is missing" with Cooper. We saw him vanishing in a sea, and now he's totally gone, in the shoes of a Bob humunculus. Episode 4 is just advancing the plot. The Wally Brando scene was really bad though. Bad acting always translates pretty well in Lynch films, but holy shit, Michael Cera just can't act.

Cera felt like stunt casting. The shot of him felt like Lynch was going for a pretty familiar trope in his work where you linger on this odd character overacting for too long and it becomes almost hypnotic, but instead of overacting Cera seemed to be doing his usual mumblecore bullshit, but with a dumb accent and frequently smiling/breaking character

Who is James?

>>83088113
It was fun to see an older, sort of more absent-minded Hawk try to run the show at the police department but constantly get undermined by the airheads around him, while not quite being all there himself. Not too sure how i feel about the Robert Forster character, he basically just seems to be there as a replacement for Ontkean. The stuff with Bobby was great though. I think that zoom in on him was the first time we heard "Laura Palmer's theme" in the new series, am I right? It was a great moment that really brought all the melodrama from the original series flooding back in, and who better to put that emotional cue on than Bobby?

>>83086942
>HUR DUR OBZOLUUT KAYNUEX

John Cena is playing him now?

>>83083361
James Marshall seems to actually be like that, I think Lynch is just tapping into it

I disliked him from the pilot.

>>83086920
always hated his gay faggy beta bitch boy attitude because he reminds me of myself

your sensitivity is cool anon
you've always been cool

>>83082545
I think the bar in this season will be revealed to be the afterlife and everyone there is already dead, which is why we see Jacques Renault in it. The motorcycle accident is how James died.

>>83080926
James did nothing wrong.

>>83089144
then how was bobby in there

>>83089144
That's not Jacques tho

>>83088161
>>83088113
what are you talking about? the awkwardness of the scene was totally on purpose. Cera can act very well and this is just what they wanted it to be. Don't put the blame on him as he just did what he should.
t. not mikey cera
