Already in the Netflix queue.  The hell you people don't rent it from Netflix before I do.

That is awesome. I hope it looks and sounds as good as season one. By putting only 2 episodes per disc they were able to make it look fantastic.

Looking at the details on Amazon it seems they are putting 4 episodes per disc. They are including log lady introductions though, which is awesome. That was one of the best parts of the season one set.

Edit: Holy shit, I didn't realize that season 1 was out of print and going for over $100 on Amazon. That's insane!

Okay, I've been waiting until my holidays for this.  I am about to embark on a Twin Peaks marathon which includes the bootlegged Japanese movie length version of the pilot, season one and two, and Fire Walk With me. 

Because I care about my health I will not be eating donuts or cherry pie or throwing back black coffee.  Though I might cuddle a log and oil my drapes if time permits.

Whenever I had Twin Peaks viewing parties I could never remember when you are supposed to stop the pilot, and we'd end up watching a little too much of the fake ending. 

For just a moment I was upset that the Season 1 DVD set was out of print, then I realized that I got a copy as a gift shortly after it came out.  Sadly, I don't think I've watched it since I received the gift.

How much was season 1 as released, I wonder?

Edit: Looks like $40 or so, I guess. Ebay's currently at $50+ or so.

Er?

The latter sounds like a euphemism for flicking the bean;  I can't even guess at the first term.  Tree-hugging?

Sounds like good ol' American man-on-woman missionary intercourse to me, Jay.

Honey, you can oil my drapes any time.

I somehow never noticed that Twin Peaks had come out on video.  But after recently watching Eraserhead (see other thread that I am too tired to link to), I am afraid that I might not like it any more and re-watching it would just spoil the good memories.  That lady in the radiator in Eraserhead jumped out at me as very Twin Peaks-y and also as the most annoying and pointless part of the movie.

The Lady In The Radiator... I don't think that sequence is pointless.

Disturbing, sure, but pointless?

She's a metaphor for all the ways that a weak-willed man can escape from harsh reality into a world where a warped ancient vision of femininity that never really existed can protect him forever.

A conflation of mother figure and lover figure, hissing at him from a radiator out from fifty years in the past, singing to him that he should kill himself and go to heaven because everything will be all right there.

It's just that... you know... in David Lynch World, you get that across with a deformed Betty Boop singing up toward you through the dust of ages and into a heating duct.

You know:  cuddle a log, and oil my drapes?  No euphemisms here.  Just dated cultural references.

Any way, I was thwarted in my attempt to start the marthon today by the problem of having a social life... I'm starting tomorrow come hell or high water.

I usually hate being alone, but sometimes those pesky social lifes can ruin good plans.

I don't know what I was doing when all the cool kids were watching Twin Peaks.  Probably memorizing resistor color codes.

The ladyfriend has the Jerry Horne card.  (Portrayed by David Patrick Kelly, another one of her fixations, like Al.)

This is notable because the card says he graduated from Gonzaga Law, the same school that my mother graduated from.
