I don't agree with it but I occasionally find myself thinking about 'Twin Peaks: The Return" and David Lynch's suggestion that the sheer hubris and violence of the Trinity Test and the creation of the atomic bomb is where our reality took a swerve into a morally empty hell world where bad things increasingly just happen for no reason.
@gwynnion And if I may be crude for a moment. That explosion CRAPPED ALL OVER Chris Nolan's sad little firework.
@megatronicthronbanks Lynch makes you feel how fucked up it is that this thing exists.
@gwynnion To be honest I hated that episode, most of the fans did. But it was good to see the bang spectacularly presented in his Horror mode. The last time I saw it done as artistically was Sarah's nightmares in the Terminator sequel.
@megatronicthronbanks I'm a fan of Twin Peaks but the Return was interminable and frustrating to watch and that episode in particular didn't really do much else. But that moment, like a few others, was really good.
@gwynnion Yes I was amused. Friends and I were huge fans of the first 2 series. I mean as you well know Lynch doesn't do PLOT, he just does astoundingly good SCENES. But 1&2 did kinda hang together somehow, and even the movie was disjointed yet Ok.
But 3. Srsly. "Who are they? Why did that guy shoot himself in a forest? Why is Harry Dean Stanton playing a guitar? What are these blackface guys everywhere? WHAT IS WITH THE BAR????"
@gwynnion Though! Thanks to those bar scenes I discovered about 5 new really interesting bands!
@megatronicthronbanks It was hilarious seeing The Nine Inch Nails perform. LOL.
