For some reason or another, days like today always remind me of Twin Peaks. It’s rainy, kinda cold, but not too cold. There’s just that “rainy” feeling in the air. It makes me think about the pilot episode and the infamous words said by Jack Nance: “She’s dead…wrapped in plastic.”
I know it’s been over 11 years since the series was shown, but I still like to watch it. I’ve got the entire series on VHS. Oddly enough, Twin Peaks was an incredible success in Japan, and they just couldn’t get enough of it. I really wish I could get the entire series in DVD form, but who knows if that will ever happen.
If you’re not familiar with Twin Peaks (and who would be right?), it’s a short-lived TV series (as are all the series I like) by David Lynch. Basically it’s a murder mystery, with a Lynch-ian twist. i.e. It’s WIERD.
But also very funny. Perhaps the most noticeable reference is to Coffee. Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) has a deep fascination for “good coffee”. You really have to watch it to understand.
Someday I really would like to visit Washington State to see the beautiful scenery near Snoqualmie, where they filmed quite a bit of footage from the series.
Yeap. Misty, rainy days definitely remind me of Twin Peaks.
