I LOVE "A REAL INDICATION".

It's one of the great songs off this album.  I can hardly wait to
see what's going on-screen when this song happens, but I got a 
real indication of a laugh coming on.

Gotta be Bob emerging!


I also like the Pink Room as the second best song on the album.

From Aug 8-14 TV Guide's "Grapevine" section:

Blurb titled "Twin Perks", over a nice photo of our favorite Log Lady cradling
our favorite log, captioned "Coulson and friend: branching out"

"There's an advantage to being a cult figure," says Catherine Coulson, who,
having played The Log Lady on _Twin Peaks_, definitely knows whereof she
speaks.  "People tend to listen to me.  I'm recognized wherever I go.  I can
get a nice seat in a restaurant, but, more importantly, I've been able to do
work for AIDS and the environment -- things that matter." Look for Coulson to
reprise her small-screen role in "Fire Walk with Me," the big-screen prequel to
the David Lynch TV series set to open Aug 28.  Will the prequel spawn a sequel?
"I don't think we've seen the last of _Twin Peaks_," she says.  "But I don't
have the log here, so I wouldn't want to predict."

Great to see a bit more traffic on this newsgroup - can't wait for the
movie to come to Australia!

Thanks to all those posting the great articles from the American film
magazines. From what I've gathered, if there is enough support for the
film, we just might be able to visit the town of Twin Peaks once again...

So make sure you go and see the film - even more than once if you want
to! Looks as though the Japanese are really flipping out over the
series! Hopefully some finance can be sought and the series can be
started up again....Who knows?!

Anyway, can anyone help me with a few things Twin Peaks....

1. The series videos - what is the name of the company that has put them
   out? What are the "official" names of the videos (eg. Twin Peaks
   Episodes 2-5 ??) Does anyone know if they are available in Australia??

2. Are there any "major" fan clubs or fan magazines/newsletters to which
   I can subscribe, either here in Australia, or more likely, overseas?

Hope to hear from a few of you soon...

I saw the ad during the convention coverage.  Looks very good.
I was surprised by the "R" rating, from what I had read, it was
going to be NC-17 for the violence.

Saw the movie on Sunday (the 16th) in Snoqualmie -- several 
insiders were there mingling with the Peakers: David Lynch, Sheryl 
Lee, Ray Wise, Moira Kelly, Catherine Coulson, and others.  I asked 
Coulson what it was like filming Eraserhead and she said "It was 
really weird...we were all very young!"  Ray Wise bent over 
backwards to please his fans, signing dozens of autographs, even 
sang "Mairsy Doats" with some of the crowd.

My impression of the movie: not of much interest to anyone but TP (or
Sheryl Lee) fans, pretty predictable overall, but with some very good
acting by Lee and Wise.  Lotsa typical Lynch humor, loaded with TP
references that will be pretty meaningless to outsiders, plenty of sex
& violence, but nowhere near as subliminal and disturbing as Wild at
Heart.  It won't make much money (in fact it might bomb), but I know
I'll see it many times.... as will probably most TP fans.

 Does David Bowie and/or Chris Isaccs sing a song on the soundtrack? I thought
 Lynch asked Isaccs if he could use the song "Wicked Game" in the movie? If its

TP videos seem to be fairly widely available in Aus. I have seen Twin Peaks
I, TP II, and TP III. Each is a double video with 6 episodes in the pack.
What I cannot figure out is the references to the 14 cassettes of the series
being available in Japan. At 3 episodes per video, that's 42 episodes. How
many were in the complete series, anyway? And.... I am confused as to how
many episodes make up an American TV series. 6? 13?

This is the *standard* numbering scheme, not just the one used in Japan.
The episodes were never titled, but each script bore the title "Episode #n".
The first hour-long episode was title "Episode #1", which therefore leads
one to believe that Lynch/Frost Productions *themselves* thought of the
pilot film as "Episode #0".
