Subject: FWWM trailer and soundtrack
Date: 12 Aug 92 20:54:28 GMT

E!'s Coming Attractions has finally began airing the FWWM trailer
and it looks damn good IMHO!  The first third is backed by the Twin Peaks
Theme (the first note strikes as soon as we see the New Line logo), the
second third by The Pink Room and the last third by Questions in a World
of Blue.  Lots of scenes: Laura with Donna, Laura kissing James, Bobby
angry and yanking at Laura's arm, Laura discovering pages missing in her
secret diary, Partyland, Laura stoned, Leland with Teresa in bed and covering
her eyes and asking "who am I?", Rodd kicking open his trailer door to
Desmond and Stanley, Leland coming up on Ronette and Laura in bed,
the OAM yelling "it's your father!" at Laura while Leland yells and honks
the horn and races the engine, a painting where an angel disappears (where
is this from?), an ax smashing into a tv (also where is this from?), a very
quick shot of Bob while Leland cries "don't make me do this!", and at the end
a shot of Cooper in the red room.
There are lots more quick cuts, too numerous to mention.  E! is not listed
in my TV Guide (I know it is listed the Valley edition of the Los Angeles Times
- I know CA will air today sometime) so maybe someone could post the times
for everyone else.  The trailer runs 1 min and 45 sec.

Picked up the soundtrack yesterday and it is great!  There's only one
Julee Cruise song on there (see her on Leno Monday with the B-52's?)
but it is a damn good one.  The rest of the album is pretty damn good
except for the two Thought Gang tracks with Angelo Badalamenti talking
I thought I could do without.  The FWWM theme is quite moody.

Yep, I and Shona posted on the festival a couple days ago; should
still be in your spooler.  The cast members were surprisingly friendly

Subject: Re: FWWM at the Cannes Film Festival

    My reading of the Cannes situation is that Lynch is not
well liked by the critics there.  I'm just going on what I've
read here. . . I don't know anything anyone else doesn't.
It's just that WILD AT HEART was also booed at Cannes.

    I should also add that I have no production work to my
name other than a B.A. in communications, but I still think
that the lofty critics at Cannes should at least *acknowledge*
Lynch's vision if not appreciate it.

    Granted, WILD AT HEART won the Palme d'Or (a d'Or prize?
. . . sorry), but this still doesn't excuse the booing by
others.  No, I think some critics just have a grudge against
Lynch and his works.

    But what do I know?  I loved DUNE. . .

    Feel free to respond, gripe, whatever.  Thanks for your
time.

There are 15 cassettes available now in Japan. ( the movie FWWM version will be 
released in Nov. ) Each tape is a 120min tape.

tape #0     : 1st episode combined with some extra scenes
              ( I heard it was edited to be released as a promotion tape. (?)
                It reveals too many secretes hidden inside the succeeding
                episodes.  I'm glad I didn't see it until I finished all other
                tapes. )
                
tape #1     : episodes 2, 3 and 4
tape #2-#14 : 2 episodes per tape ( 5 - 30 )
              ( tape #14 includes a short video clip from Kyle's press 
                conference and his days in Tokyo )

The Japanese version of the series numbering starts from episode 2, i.e the
episode 2 is referred as story #1. ( so, I use the term "story # zero" for the
episode 1 )

 Because I am mortally scared, I'm curious if anyone knows FOR CERTAIN
that "TP:  FWWM" will be released in Canada (specifically, Toronto).
It's not too unusual for some movies to go straight to video in Canada,
unless they are backed by a "big name" studio.  I don't want to have to
drive out to Buffalo just to see a movie...

Series 1: 1 90 minute pilot and 7 45 minute episodes
Series 2: 1 90 minute opener and 21 45 minute episodes

All in all 24 Hr's of Peaks (including the pilot) which fits comfortably

The Twin Peaks pilot (with extra footage) is available on video. It has 
been out for months at rental price and has just recently been dropped 
down to a more reasonable price (a local store had it on sale for 
$16.99.) I believe that the average run for an American TV season is 26 
episodes. I believe my throat hurts.

There will be several taped interviews of the cast on MTV this next
week -- MTV was at the TP festival in Snoqualmie last weekend
interviewing anyone they could get their hands on.  They even
got Lynch giving his intro speech to the movie audience.

I just talked to the people at Voyager Press (who put out the 'Criterion

episodes on laserdisc.

The woman I talked to said it is just a rumor at this point.  They are trying
to cut a deal, and would love to offer them, but nothing has been agreed to
yet.  "Keep your fingers crossed," she said.

Anyone catch Dana Ashbrook playing (Warren Beatty playing) Clyde Barrow
in the TV movie "Bonnie and Clyde: The True Story"?  The movie was
extrememly second-rate with a few good moments, but Ashbrook's performance
threw me a little bit.  Almost every one of his mannerisms was a quote
from the original (classic) movie, or from his role as Bobby Briggs.
The general effect is of Bobby and Shelly playing at being movie stars.

I heard an interview with Jimmy Scott on NPR's "Fresh Air" program with
Terri Gross.

He was pretty popular in the 50's and was frequently mistaken for a woman
by the sound of his voice.  His normal conversational voice is also high-
pitched and could be mistaken.  He said that a common 50's game played by
DJ's was to play one of his records and have a radio contest to decide
"Is it a man or woman singing?".

Yup.  It's taking place this weekend (Aug 15-16) in North Bend and
Snoqualmie.  Advertising has been pretty light, so I'm not sure what
events are supposed to take place.  There's a preview showing of Fire
Walk With Me at the North Bend Cinema (across the street from the
Mar-T Cafe/RR Diner - it's a small town).  The delightfully scuzzy Mt
Si Motel (not part of the official festivities because it isn't
presentable enough) is offering tours of the motel room used in filming
the movie.

The city official types who Worry About These Things are somewhat
nonplussed by the TP Fest, as no one knows what it's going to do to
traffic and parking in the area.  Attendance estimates for this
weekend range from zero to 20-30,000, which is ten times the
population of the town.  (This isn't the big city.  The stoplight seen
swinging in the wind in the TV show is THE North Bend stoplight, you
have to drive 15 miles toward Seattle before there's another one.)

I live in North Bend, so I'll at least pass through the festival this
weekend, and next week I'll let people know what happened.

 Kirsten,

 Thanks for the reply.  An "It Store"?  I've never heard of such a thing
in Toronto, but I'll have to check on "it."  Toronto is a world-class
city but so damn slow...I went to buy the movie soundtrack yesterday
(8/16) and they had not yet received it in any of the "big" music
stores.  Very sad if it was released Stateside on 8/11.

 Yikes, I hope the MOVIE actually makes it here on 8/28!!!  Perish the
thought otherwise!

 Thanks again.

come, first served basis.  Special surprise guests!"

"Agent Cooper's Dream" will also be performed Thursday (Aug. 27) through Sunday

He just has an alto voice.  They interviewed him a few weeks back on NPR's
"All Things Considered."  His voice sounded very female to me when he talked,
let alone sang.  If they hadn't kept using the masculine pronoun when talking
about his career, I still wouldn't have known.  All I can remember about the
interview, really, was that he was singing with "the greats" before they
became as great, and was a little hurt by it.  Don't know why they
interviewed him; perhaps he has a new album out?  No mention of Twin Peaks...
