I think we should start a GoFundMe or Kickstarter or something of that crowdfunding likeness so that we can either (or all):
A) pay Lynch to film an interview specifically pertaining to Twin Peaks
B) create a documentary of everything brought up here on these forums
C) make our own Season 4 (since Lynch has seemingly given us the authority to do with Twin Peaks as we want) - but I'd shy away from this, only because I really want to know HIS take on it (kindav like the quote; "don't you know what a peach tastes like?" "Yes, but I want to know what a peach tastes like to YOU.")
You're gonna be in charge of that, right?
I think a Lynch interview would be great but also I wouldn't want to pay money to hear Lynch being non-commital ? or maybe evasive is a better word...
I'd be willing to run the camera. In fact, I'm heading off tomorrow to be in a film (gotta keep adding to my IMDB list!!!).
Chris, I agree, I think an interview with him would be very evasive, but I also feel like there is a specific way to ask as well to help keep the evasiveness to a minimum.
To be fair to him, he always makes a very entertaining interview subject. And when you do get a tidbit of revelation, however small, its often mind blowing.
That would be a wasted effort when Lynch tells you the answers are already there. Lynch is always an excellent interview subject, but if you think you'd actually get solid answers, you'd be wrong. Most of his works are left open to interpretation intentionally.
I think he specifically says in 'Room to Dream' that he doesn't want to say what Twin Peaks means. Which for anyone who doubted the man possibly offers reassurance that there definetly is meaning there ?
A fan-directed Twin Peaks would be the ultimate nightmare
"Don't go there..."
I wonder whether in order to use an interview to get some answers, the trick would be to come up with questions targeting what we suspect are the key themes, without mentioning Twin Peaks explicitly. If we get answers about the nature of identity, the nature of good and evil, the relationship between women and men, how to save the world, the possibility of conquering evil, etc. they might allow us to read events in a more informed way.
I think there's evidence that David Lynch can speak explicitly in the documentary about his TM promotional tour. He explains the TM process to interviewers in Paris, I think, and draws a big diagram. Ethical concerns related to the TM movement aside, it was refreshing to see the enigma going to town with a sharpie.
