David Lynch's daughter Jen Lynch updates re: publishing unproduced scripts: "We plan to do a great deal to share Dads Work… For example, the script(s) for UNRECORDED NIGHT, all his notes, his doodles in the page borders… An intimate way to share what might have been his most incredible work!"

Anyone know what happened to the Tulpa forum for Lynch / Twin Peaks fans? It seems to have been down for a very long time; is it gone gone, or will it be returning at some point?

Since the below news broke I've seen some minimize the artistry of Lynch's writing. It calls to mind Paul Schrader's story of being asked by De Laurentiis to rewrite Lynch's unfilmed BLUE VELVET script & replying it was "one of the best scripts I’d ever read...there was no way I could improve it."

David Lynch's producer Sabrina Sutherland has revealed that his final work, the 20-25 episode UNRECORDED NIGHT, was set to star Toby Jones, son of his longtime collaborator Freddie Jones. Lynch passed away shortly before he was set to meet w/ Netflix to discuss possibly resuming pre-production

In new interview looking back one year after David Lynch's death, Sabrina Sutherland adds a bit more information about his final (unproduced) project, UNRECORDED NIGHT: he expected it to be "maybe 20-25 hours" in length, and was "very close" to trying to move forward with it when he passed.

Julien's is auctioning a screenplay titled VOLUNTEERS it claims David Lynch wrote in 1971; it's purportedly "a military satire" that "follows a group of young men who have been drafted to go to Vietnam" & engage in "various hijinks" to get out of it. I don't know if I believe them...

A nugget that real Twin Peaks heads may find interesting: over the weekend at Metrograph, Dean Hurley revealed (I believe for the first time) who performs “the mysterious voice [speaking to Mr. C] on the other end of the box in the hotel room, after shooting Darya” in Part 2: him.

So someone apparently posted my below Severance thread on its main subreddit, where it attracted >300 comments, a number of them extremely negative (ahh, Reddit). I thus quickly wrote a follow-up comment (reddit.com/r/SeveranceApp… ) where I elaborate on some of its points. See here, fwiw:

"Child-fucking-labor" struck me as suggestive phrasing in the latest Severance. As a child Cobel left her home b/c a powerful grown man, Jame, took an interest in her. Soon after, she invented a revolutionary method of dissociation. It's all redolent of a certain type of abuse...

Severance is a metaphor (in part) for how we deal w painful parts of ourselves like shame, grief: we repress them. "That's not me." But of course it IS you. If you argue the opposite—"Helena & Helly are not the same person"—then you're endorsing Helena's position here:

Father John Misty, in recent interview, says David Lynch met with him about something "a few years ago" & Lynch made him sign an NDA. Did Lynch want him for either UNRECORDED NIGHT or TWIN PEAKS (2017)? I know Lynch has covered FJM's work musically, but presumably that wouldn't have merited an NDA.

The parallel mirror-image framing of the two BOB reveals in TWIN PEAKS (Ep. 14 x Ep. 29), each culminating in an identical turn over the left shoulder to the camera. It seems fitting that these reveals should be accompanied by a breaking of the fourth wall; the illusions have been shattered.
