Well hello TP-Gazette! I'm new here, BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT!!! So, I've been re-watching TP lately, and decided to re-watch the movie as well, when something caught my attention. I don't know if this has been debated before, it wouldn't surprise me if it has. But during the pre-titles of FWWM, we see a television and it's turned on, but nothing is on. Just noise and random flickering dots before the TV gets smashed. So I've been thinking if this could be a way of Lynch communicating with the audience? Like he's making a parallel with the show, implying that it's dead and no longer existing, and that the movie its last remains of the franchise.
It works pretty good to me anyway. When the TV-set gets aggressively smashed, it makes me think of how ABC, sort of, killed the show. What do you think?
HOLY SMOKES, MY SOCKS ARE ON FIRE!!!

Hey Flesh World, welcome!! Woah, that's a really cool thought, and I think you're right, that's definitely something I could see David doing.
Love, Laura

Good Point!, I would believe it also as Lynch was not pleased to be canceled and the movie had a much darker tone than the series.

Also, he was forced to reveal the Laura's killer by the network. I would be upset also!

Yeah that could be something; plus to me it's to establish at the outset (including during and after the titles) the tonal difference between this film and the series. The music and image (or lack of) contrast the vivid, dreamy scenes we see in the series opening; it's a downbeat, sparse image. Then, as the TV is smashed, as opposed to the ominous, dreamy, slow paced mystery we are given in the Pilot, we have a short, sharp brutal violent introduction. It's a very powerful contrast

Interesting interpretations. Myself, I would usually take it from the aesthetic point of view - looked to me like a very capturing image for the beginning of the film and it goes perfectly with the opening music, and then yes, the contrast. Actually I must say this dead TV screen reminds me the opening of Blue Velvet - the blue velvet curtains (or whatever it is). From the point of view of meaning I don't think there is any link between those two. But don't you find it kind of visually similar?

I heard this was supposed to be a trilogy based on the success of FWWM. Thought maybe it was bogus but heard the rumor from more than one person. Guess we will never know the truth. I am not entirely sure why this film was boo'd, I loved it.
Diane... 10:00 a.m. at the Great Northern. I've just been in a hotel room with the One-armed Man... or what's left of him. In another time, another culture, this man would have been a seer, a shaman priest... possibly a leader. In our world, he's a shoe peddler, and lives in the shadows.

I'm new here myself, but I'll say welcome all the same. It's great to find a forum with any activity regarding Twin Peaks in 2011. As to your thoughts on the dead static TV set and it's bludgeoning by Leland/Bob, well i'd say you're spot-on.
Don't take no oink oink off that pretty pig.

i gotta agree with everybody.
TP in FWWM will not be in the world of TP the tv series. its going to be an ax through a tv tuned to static.
but its also very important to note that this is teresa bank's murder, and in the context of the plot of FWWM, it would seem that the whole of the story(including the series) starts with this plot point. BOB kills and takes what belongs to MIKE/MFAP. they eventually get retribution by making him kill laura(who he wants to possess instead) and then make him hand over her garmonbozia to them in the end. make of that what you will, but i see those as factual occurrences in the film.
