Re: David Lynch
So supposedly Lynch is working on Twin Peaks season 3 but this is wildly speculative from an entirely unsubstantiated source.

I've seen the whole series run, and I'm kind of surprised I don't remember that moment with Sherilyn Fenn.

Re: David Lynch
Well, at least Frost shot it down quickly but it is/was an exciting prospect especially if they did go with the "25 years later" idea. Bob and Donna would have to recast (Silva died in 94 of AIDS, and Lara Flynn Boyle had plastic surgery) and since they already recast her for FWWM, they might as well ask Moira Kelly to come back (who I thought was a better fit for the character than Boyle). Major Briggs would still be missing and Pete Mortell could have been killed with Andrew Packard in the bank explosion.
Not sure though if they did it bring back, that it'd be best served by being on a network channel like NBC (though my understanding is that they own the rights to the show). HBO would seem more accommodating to Lynch's style.

It's about the weirdest and at the same time funniest short I've ever seen. A few friends and me actually set out to cook Quinoa once we had seen it. A very tasty dish indeed.

Re: David Lynch
A couple people already made comments to this effect on YouTube, but it's best to rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer, or else it can be left with a bitter aftertaste. IMO, he makes a lot of the common mistakes with quinoa there. It's better to measure out the water (2 parts to 1 part quinoa) to avoid getting too much, which can quickly make the quinoa mushy. After it cooks (15 minutes) it should be drained and then put back in the warm saucepan for about 5 minutes (not in a cold bowl) to help dry it out a little further.
I hope it doesn't come across like I missed the enjoyable purpose of these videos; I just hope this info helps people get better-tasting, non-mushy quinoa. He narrates his actions and tells stories in a way I would never even think of. You don't just enjoy a glass of wine while waiting for the quinoa, you have the wine because it buys you some time. I love it.

Re: David Lynch
Calum Marsh on Fire Walk With Me
It's not hard to understand the enduring distaste. Fire Walk With Me is deliberately oblique, even by Lynch standards, asking questions without answers and providing clues to no mystery. Its narrative is split in two, seemingly without reason, a division introduced when our hero is apparently swallowed up by a gaping hole in the center of the picture (a hole he finds beneath a parked RV in America's least inviting trailer park, naturally).
Most gallingly, especially for audiences circa '92, the film purports to be a prequel to perhaps the most beloved cult television series of the decade, though in truth it's more interested in systematically dismantling the mythos and iconography of Twin Peaks than in pandering to the show's fanbase with some feature-length trip down TV-memory lane. The film is alarmingly dark. It isn't especially funny, or quirky, or even much in keeping with the spirit of the series. But in its own singular, deeply strange way, Fire Walk With Me is David Lynch's masterpiece.
It helps to think about genre. Like the series, the film plays in pastiche. Adopting conventions from the police procedural, daytime soap operas, post-war noir, and 1950s melodrama, Fire Walk With Me is a postmodern hybrid in flux, its style ever-drifting and its formal makeup a composite of self-conscious clichés. The purpose of all this appropriation, however, isn't merely to ironize outmoded forms or tropes—as it often is in the work of the Coen brothers—but to embrace those antiquated modes and deploy those old-fashioned tropes in earnest. The film uses melodrama, in particular, to replicate the function and goal of the genre: targeting the veneer of sanctity in the middle-class American home and exposing its hypocrisy and corruption.
If Fire Walk With Me seems like a nightmare, it's the same one reflected in James Mason's descent into suburban madness in Nicholas Ray's classic melodrama Bigger Than Life. And what's scary is that the nightmare is real. Fantasy was always a central, if only implied, component of the classical melodrama, animating the social aspirations and wish-fulfillment of a rising class founded on subjugation and fear. The melodrama sought to undermine the contradictions inherent in an imagined good life, its stories essentially bourgeois dreams inflated to grotesque proportions.

I'm seeing a lot of Lynch's short films on Criterion's Hulu page, which is a great thing, but where's, "The Cowboy & The Frenchman"?

Probably lost.
That said: there are various sources claiming they have spoken to TP-actors who claimed Lynch is "working on a third season".

Well, I'm just hoping if his short films get a Blu-Ray Criterion release, they won't leave it off. It may seem odd, but it's my favorite thing he's done.

Unfortunately, MK2 (which holds Eraserhead and the Lynch shorts that are on Hulu) does not have the US rights for The Cowboy and the Frenchman.
However, it could still be bundled with Criterion's physical release of the other titles, as they've been able to package supplements from different licensors in the past. Badlands, for example, included an episode of American Justice borrowed from Sony.

Re: David Lynch
Here's hoping they expend the energy and the funds to include it.
I'd certainly purchase a Criterion release of "Eraserhead", but never a short films collection that failed to collect such a bizarre and strangely endearing farce as "The Cowboy and The Frenchman". It really captures Lynch's twisted sense of humor as well as any of his feature films, but without the disturbing twists that he explored even in the otherwise up, "Wild at Heart." It's as care-free as he ever got, and it's surprising he didn't drop his guard more often, because he really wears it well.

Re: David Lynch
If you haven't seen the NIN video, it was released a few months ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RN6pT3zL44
I think parts of it are great (the footage of Reznor & the monsters), but other parts like the red squares & lines are a little silly. But overall I like it.
