Black Lodge Hat is a Twin Peaks-Bommelmütze

Von den Leuten, die neulich erst die Shining-Bommelmütze am Start hatten: Eine Twin Peaks-Bommelmütze. WANT!
Well, as we are now in the fifth year of the cult Weir hat our creative juices keep on flowing, this year sees two special editions inspired by two of Hollywood’s great cults. David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is the inspiration behind this one. Based on the extradimensional ‘Red Room’ from the cult TV series and accompanying film Fire Walk With Me.
We’re proud to present the Black Lodge hat.

Twin Peaks Season 3 coming?

Ich geb’ normalerweise nichts auf Gerüchte, vor allem nicht aus Filmblogs, aber das hier muss ich trotzdem bringen, auch wenn sich fast alle Quellen auf ein einziges Posting auf 4Chan (!) beziehen. Aber man munkelt, David Lynch befände sich in konkreten Gesprächen für eine dritte Staffel von Twin Peaks.
Der Plot wäre laut den Gerüchten in der heutigen Zeit angesiedelt, Bad Cooper säße im Knast während Good Cooper im Red Room gefangen wäre und eine junge Reporterin käme all dem auf die Spur. Ob da irgendwas dran ist, werden wir sehen, Diane, aber die Gerüchte ergeben recht viel Sinn, finde ich. David Lynchs letzter Film liegt 7 Jahre zurück, seitdem fotografiert der Mann und macht Musik. Eine Rückkehr zum Serien-Format würde passen. Und aus Produzentensicht wäre eine dritte Twin Peaks-Staffel ein sicherer Hit, wirklich abwegig sind die Gerüchte also nicht.
- Season 3 is set the same amount of time since it has been since season 2
- Lynch wants to be very hands on with the project but the executives were very open about how “unusual” his tastes were. They seemed a little on edge about him tackling it alone
- Lynch wants most of the cast back
- The Story would resolve around the fact that Cooper is still in the lodge, and a young (female!) reporter will basically uncovered the truth behind Twin Peaks, BOB, and the lodge.
- Since season 2, bad Cooper has been in Prison in another state for the murder of 2 Twin Peaks residents. He didn’t know which ones yet. It seems since season 2 bad Cooper went on a Rampage. Everyone still thinks it’s the real Cooper.
- Lynch was adamant that the show opens by recreating the first red room scene in season 1. This takes place in modern day, and was a hint that Cooper would be trapped within the red room.

Twin Peaks Intro deconstructed
Art of the Title dekonstruiert das Intro zu Lynchs Twin Peaks und findet da Parallelen zu unter anderem „Blue Velvet“, heidnischen Naturreligionen und Mythen, die mir so noch nicht bewusst waren.
Keen fans of David Lynch will note the strong graphic match between the robin in Blue Velvet and the wren in Twin Peaks. It’s made all the more complementary since both film and TV series deal with the surreal in American suburbia. Yet looking at the birds’ meanings in animal mythology and symbolism is even more intriguing: both species share a distinct relationship in the folklore of Anglo-Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Druidic, and Wiccan cultures. There are countless poems and distichs dedicated to the two birds, including the well-known verse, “a robin and a wren are God Almighty’s cock and hen.” A story shared between the cultures:
The Wren (the Oak King) is the king of the Waning Year. He rules on from Winter’s solstice (or Yule) to midsummer, killing off the Robin (the Holly King) and king of the Waxing year in the process. On Summer’s solstice, the Robin kills off the Wren and begins its rule. The cycle repeats itself with each season.
In Blue Velvet, the robin is introduced towards the end of the film, in the warmth of summer. In Twin Peaks, the wren is the first image in the title sequence and a few images later, we see that the sequence is set in winter as there is snow on the cliffs of the Snoqualmie Falls.
Und wo wir grade bei Art of the Title sind: Die hatten neulich ein Interview mit David Fincher zu seinen Intros.
Richard Beymers Twin Peaks Photos


Richard Beymers Fotos am Set von David Lynchs Twin Peaks geistern jetzt auch schon ein paar Jahre durchs Netz, ich hatte die Dinger schonmal vor vier Jahren gebloggt, aber da der Link von damals tot und die Aufnahmen immer noch fantastisch sind, jetzt eben nochmal.
When Twin Peaks’ in-house photographer had quit and no further promotional shots were needed since the show was cancelled, Richard Beymer (Benjamin Horne) took his Olympus camera to the set and was given David Lynch’s thumbs up to document the last days of filming the show. His behind the scenes photography (partly included in the Twin Peaks Gold Box DVD set) has become legendary, showing the actors both in and out of character, and The Black Lodge from angles you haven’t seen it before.

Black Lodge: Twin Peaks Atari 2600-Game
Jak Locke hat vor ein paar Wochen ein Twin Peaks-Retrogame programmiert, das Ding ist spielbar, superschwer und kommt inklusive Mockups vom Atari 2600-Cartridge und einer achtseitigen Anleitung, ohne die das Ding wohl nicht spielbar ist. Ich komme schon im Red Room nicht weiter und für die Anleitung fehlt mir grade die Geduld, aber ey! Ein Twin Peaks Atari 2600-Game!
A day in the FBI was never like this before! You are Special Agent Dale Cooper and you’ve found yourself trapped inside of the Black Lodge, a surreal and dangerous place between worlds.
Try as you might, you can’t seem to find anything but the same room and hallway no matter which way you turn. Worse yet, your doppelganger is in hot pursuit! You have no choice but to keep running through the room and hallway (or is it more than one?) and above all else, don’t let your doppelganger touch you! Your extensive physical training in the FBI will provide you a seemingly limitless supply of energy to run as long as necessary, but running out of breath is the least of your worries!
You’ll find quickly that you’re not alone in the Black Lodge, though your friends are few and far between. Not only that, the lodge itself seems to be actively trying to trip you up at all times! You’ll be dodging chairs and crazed Lodge residents all while trying to keep your own insanity. How long can this go on?
No time to think of that now -here comes that doppelganger again. Just keep on running through the curtains or it will surely be curtains for you!

The Twin Peaks tapes of Agent Cooper

Root Blog hat ein Hörspiel in Form von Agent Coopers diktierte Tapes an Diane: „Circa Twin Peaks Season 2 cassette only release of Agent Dale Cooper’s tape recordings to the mysterious Diane, including those that appeared on the show and others recorded specifically for this release.“

20 Jahre Twin Peaks
Um einen Tag verpasst, aber egal: Am 8. April 1990 strahlte ABC den Piloten von Twin Peaks aus, die bis heute wahrscheinlich innovativste Serie, die jemals gedreht wurde.
Ich erinnere mich noch ziemlich genau an die erste Folge und wie sie mich damals mit ihrem Soundtrack und diesem unglaublichen Plot förmlich in den Apparat reinzog. Das war einer der wenigen Momente, in dem wahre Magie im Fernsehen stattfand. (Ein anderer Moment war wohl die Buntstiftlutscherei der Titanic bei Wetten Das, aber das hat ja nun nix mit Twin Peaks zu tun, auch wenn das Drehbuch von David Lynch hätte stammen können.)
Twin Peaks steht für mich bis heute dafür, was Fernsehen sein könnte, wenn es wollte und nicht auf beknackte Quoten und Shareholder-fucking-Values schielen müsste und selbst Serienperlen wie Six Feet Under können vor Twin Peaks nur den Hut ziehen. Agent Cooper FTW!
Back in the summer of 1989, I was invited to a sneak preview of a TV pilot. I didn’t know anything about it, but the moment I heard its opening theme music, I got shivers that didn’t go away. This was TV the way I dreamed it could be — funny, menacing, mysterious. In fact, it was so weird and wonderful that, as I walked from the theater, I remember saying, “Too bad no network will ever put it on the air.”
Goes to show what I know. What I’d seen, of course, was the pilot of Twin Peaks, and several months later, ABC did put it on the air, creating an instant sensation. It wasn’t simply that the program was a hit or that Time put David Lynch on its cover, dubbing him a genius. Here was a show that had everyone talking the next day about the startling things they’d seen the night before — you know, a spooky reflection of the long-haired Killer BOB, or the time that the sexpot Audrey Horne tied the cherry stem into a knot with her tongue.

Das Monsterpiece Theater aus der Sesamstraße, auf Youtube gibts tonnenweise Folgen davon, unter anderem mit „Einer flog über das Kukuksnest“ oder auch mit einer Folge mit denn Herren James Bond und einem Dr.No, einem Arzt. Den Vogel schießt die Serie, die völlig an mir vorübergegangen ist, aber mit diesem Video ab. Darin besucht das Krümelmonster eine Stadt namens Twin Beaks, trifft eine lebendige Laura und einen David Finch. Fantastisch!
David Lynch Tribute Mashup-Album

Das hier ist unter Umständen das beste Mashup-Album aller Zeiten, und zwar inklusive dem Grey Album und „24 Hrs“ von den Kleptones: Mashed in Plastic, ein David Lynch-Mashup-Tribute-Album. Das was ich bis jetzt gehört habe, ist absolut fantastisch und hier mashen Mashup-Artists von Phil Retrospector bis RIAA Tracks aus den Soundtracks von Lynch-Filmen mit Pop-Songs, Beats und Klassik, versehen das Ganze mit Samples aus den Movies oder vom Meister selbst. Es gibt Liner Notes für jeden Track, Bonus-Tracks, Wallpapers und Videos, der Aufwand, die Präsentation ist für ein Mashup-Album absolut wundervoll und überhaupt: ein Mashup-Album, David Lynch-Style. Hell, yeah! Hier mein bisheriger Favourite „I’ll be there in Twin Peaks“ von Colatron und dessen fucked up Liner Notes.
The Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There” slows and melts into Angelo Badalamenti’s “Falling,” the theme music for the “Twin Peaks” series. In it, we hear Donna ask, “Do you think that if you were falling in space that you would slow down after awhile or go faster and faster?” To which Laura responds, “Faster and faster. For a long time, you wouldn’t feel anything. Then: burst into fire. Forever. And the angels wouldn’t help you. Because they’d all gone away.”
Lynchian metaphysics. A staggering topic, informed thoroughly by the human heart, human soul, human understanding and misunderstanding. The image evoked is a spacebound Alice, not yet in Wonderland, Laura Palmer falling from her own grace and that of her quiet town, a place burbling with subcutaneous demons. Maybe Michael Jackson, his adult self crying out for release from his tortured earthbound skin, imagines some fantastical, child-safe otherworld, a place where someone will reach out their hand and be there for you. Just as Laura Palmer still does, somewhere.
