David Lynch and Twin Peaks
Not long time ago the third season of the most legendary TV show ever was born. The Twin Peaks TV show is something completely unique. We were given 25 years to understand what is going on in it to have an explanation. For those of you who never heard of it, here are the trailers.
There is no child of my generation who have never heard the soundtrack or haven't seen the moments from the show. Who killed Laura Palmer and how did it happen. That’s the main question.
David Lynch is an artist, musician, producer, director and a screenwriter and a photographer. He is was nominated for lots of awards at the 1980’s. Even won some of them. He also is very well known for his movies “The Elephant Man” of 1980 and “Mulholland drive” of 2001. You can read a little bit about his biography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Lynch HERE.
But let me tell you about something not copy-pasted from Wikipedia. The Twin Peaks was first launched in 1990 and the second finished in 1991 with a very curious phrase of Laura Palmer “I will see you in twenty five years. Meanwhile...” Afterwards, the short movie named “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with me” was released. Nobody thought that after the 25 years the director will produce the 3d season. Fans were shocked and happy at the time. I can say, that after watching the last episode of the third season I realized that I need to watch it all over again. All the newspapers and blogs were writing something like “Lynch beats all the cinematography 25 years forward. Genius or Mad?”
I think that you cannot be a genius without being mad. So he is both. If you want 3 seasons of awesome thriller-detective-comedy with the spirit of 90’s, you must watch it.
David Lynch is one of the few directors who could so vividly transform the plain surface of reality into a fantasy world of deep psychological ties. The people in his films are stories who have their own mindset and world to show around. The collision of these worlds is where the plot of his stories goes
Have you ever seen Twin Peaks? If no, then will you watch it?
What do you think of David Lynch as a person?

I found out there is Twin Peaks themed restaurant in London. It looks interesting: http://www.notwhattheyseem.com/
Have you visited his current exhibition in Torun?

I'm planning to go see it next month. I tried to get a ticket to the vernissage with Lynch himself but it was not open to public.
I must say that in most of his interviews he did not struck me as equally intriguing as his movies are until I saw this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSP-ewdJYJc How he tells the story while waiting for quinoa to cook is captivating.
Since I've never watched it, I don't have any opinion on the director.
2) Still a No
But seriously twin peaks is just not something i would watch and as i'm more interested in things that people create instead of people themselves. I don't really care who the guy is.
I haven't tried to watch the new season, because I am always afraid that the new series would spoil my memories of good old ones, like it was with new Star Wars. And I have heard different reviews about it. Maybe one day I will give it a try. I am really surprised, that so many people have never heard about Twin Peaks before. "Who killed Laura Palmer?" - true classics:)
I've never seen Twin Peaks. Furthermore, I've never heard about it. And I think that I wouldn't watch it in a future because I don't like a trailer.
