Signs that you are getting older

[Dark Lord Al]

When you have to explain what Twin Peaks was and how it was really the forerunner to boxset/netflix/series gorge TV.



But much better

I'm old Beanz I need you to explain what Twin Peaks is about , I know it was a show but never watched it.

It is about A Painter/Sculptor (Lynch) examining the dark underbelly of American Culture whilst simultaneously dismantling the very apparatus of Televison and the fictionalized form of episodic crime dramas (comics/penny dreadfuls etc) that preceded it. It's a bit like Bergerac but with Ross's mum carrying a log and Brockton dancing to Jazz whilst speaking backwards in a red room. It is both brilliant and incredibly shite at the same time. Umissable. It's like hallucinogenics for straight people

Beanz in 1990's I was in the boozer every weekend and every evening I didn't watch shows on tv.

I was touring with an anarchist collective, making short films and recording bands so didn't watch much myself but caught Twin Peaks when I could for more than one reason

Originally David Lynch's dramatization was called -

Impressive Norks.

Featuring - Sherilyn Fenn.

That title didn't catch on.
