"Diane, great news..."


Twin Peaks Season 2 DVD announced!

Excited.

Gotta get fresh ones out of the laundry, excited.

What’s all the dampness about?

Give ya a clue : “Diane, 11:30 a.m., February Twenty-fourth. Entering the town of Twin Peaks, five miles south of the Canadian border, twelve miles west of the state line. I've never seen so many trees in my life. As W. C. Fields would say, I'd rather be here than Philadelphia. Fifty-four degrees on a slightly overcast day. Weatherman said rain”.

“Twin Peaks: Season Two” has finally been confirmed for DVD – years after it was originally scheduled for release. Yep, seems David Lynch has finished scrubbing the negative (Lynch wanted the print to look pristine before it got a DVD release, apparently), Paramount has rounded up some nice extras for it, and the plastic company has come through with some nifty packaging. So, it’s a go.

The DVD – ‘Twin Peaks: Season Two – Special Edition’ – will be released in Australia on Thursday 2nd November, from Paramount. (They’ll also be releasing ‘Twin Peaks: The Complete Collection’, which includes both Season 1 and Season 2, the same day).

No word yet on the extras, but since its called a ‘Special Edition’, we’re guessing Paramount has slapped some stuff together for it.

I assume the DVD will be out in most territories around the same time, if not a little earlier.

Thanks to 'Paramount Petal'

It took me years to finally track down a decent bootleg of season 2. I finally located a decent bootleg taken from a laserdisc at a nerd convention in Manhattan. So it comes as no surprise that they're finally giving it a proper release. I love the first episode of season 2 when Cooper is lying in a pool of his own blood while the senile waiter stands over him, incapable of grasping the seriousness of the situation.

I love that scene as well. It's accented nicely by Lynch's trademark weird, ambient sound.

Yay! I've avoided doing a rewatch of Twin Peaks because it wasn't all easily available.

For me this show will always be about the crummy TV room in the basement of my dorm packed with 20 people watching that midget dance around. A new era for TV.

That gum you like is coming back in style!
