In the third act of Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb sits in a darkened hall and watches a slide show of what his gadget hath wrought at ground zero. From offscreen space, the lecturer clinically describes what we in the audience are spared from looking at.
The decision by director Christopher Nolan not to show the Japanese victims that should be in Oppenheimer’s field of vision has been both roundly criticized (Brandon Shimoda, curator of the Hiroshima Library, called it a “demoralizing” absence that “makes unreal the experience of Asian people”) and stoutly defended (in The Los Angeles Times, film critic Justin Chang responded, “omission is not erasure”).
Whatever your take, Nolan’s political/aesthetic choice presumes viewers are unspooling the pictures in their own mind. Compared to the newsreel record of the Holocaust, the visual imprint of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has not been...

New York, June 6 (Ians) Ending two years of disruption and distraction in the golf world, the PGA Tour, Dp World Tour and the Public Investment Fund (Pif),who run rival series of competitions, on Tuesday announced a landmark agreement to unify the game on a global basis.
This agreement will end the split in the golf world and allow players to participate in different competitions on the three tours without the threat of sanctions by the other bodies.

When some phrases pass through the prism of Twin Peaks, you can never hear them the same way again. "Damn good coffee" is one; "Gotta light?" is another. We'll submit a third candidate, one that the just-concluded third season of David Lynch and Mark Frost's supernatural murder-mystery masterpiece has marked for permanent retirement from the critical vocabulary: "Like nothing else on television." The TV landscape remains full of singular, spectacular shows, Peak TV fatigue be damned. But just as the original Twin Peaks inspired visionary showrunners from David Chase...

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.The best things come to those who wait, and Big Ed Hurley (Everett McGill) has long been dreaming of the moment that opens Part 15 of Mark Frost and David Lynch's Twin Peaks revival. "I've been a selfish bitch to you all these years," says his one-eyed wife Nadine (Wendy Robie), who's walked a long way—a Dr. Jacoby/Dr. Amp gold, shit-digging shovel slung over her shoulder—to the cash-only Gas Farm that Ed has run for most of his life. She states the obvious: Ed is in love with Rr Diner propietor Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton), and she, Nadine, has always stood in his way. Those days are finally over. Ed is reluctant to think of this as anything beyond another of his spouse's manic episodes.

In this week’s Twin Peaks, we were given a journey through different emotions. Through happiness, love, sadness and despair, this was an episode to give any Twin Peaks fans major feels. It may also hint that next week we are finally getting what we want.
In this week’s episode, we get the nostalgia of a romance finally coming together. Evil Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) meets with the Woodsmen to take a trip to see Phillip Jeffries (David Bowie), and we also say goodbye to a much-loved character.
At the beginning of the episode, it is hard to not get emotional for Ed Hurley (Everett McGill) who is finally put in a position where he can be with Norma (Peggy Lipton). It is in this moment that we see him truly give up on the relationship, and Lynch directs the scene perfectly. We get to feel that heart-breaking feel of abandonment,...

Twin Peaks is a show about respect. This, perhaps, is a strange thing to say about a series that routinely violates time, space, sanity and basic human decency. And that's to say nothing of the relatively run-of-the mill mockery it makes of its many lovable goofballs, from Dr. Jacoby to Dougie Jones. But this week's episode demonstrates the tremendous reverence and compassion with which co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost depict people at their most defenseless.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Twin Peaks: The Return,” Season 3, “Part 13” (Episode 13).]
History repeating itself on “Twin Peaks” has so far fallen into the category of not learning from or not being able to move on from past mistakes. Shelly (Madchen Amick) married an abusive man when she was too young and is now romantically involved with Red (Balthazar Getty), a man who’s been shown to have violent tendencies. Her daughter Becky (Amanda Seyfried) also married an abusive man.
In this past Sunday’s episode, Ed Hurley (Everett McGill) reveals through a heartbreaking look that he’s still in love with Norma (Peggy Lipton), while she’s involved with someone else. Even Ed’s nephew James (James Marshall) gives viewers major deja vu with his rendition of “Just You,” a song he had crooned in Season 2 of the original series with two dark-haired ladies backing him up.

What's worse: Crushing a person's skull or crushing their spirit? The back-from-the-dead Twin Peaks has seen its fair share of the former violation, courtesy of the supernaturally strong denizens of the Black Lodge. When those demonic entities are around – whether they're Woodsmen assaulting radio-station employees or Dale Cooper's evil doppelganger shattering a rival criminal's face with a single punch after an arm-wrestling bout – no cranium is safe. And then there's the long, wordless scene starring Big Ed Hurley (Everett McGill, making his revival debut), which features no monsters and no...

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from “Twin Peaks” Episode 8 titled “Part 8 – Gotta Light?”]
What was only hinted at in the third episode of “Twin Peaks” became a full-blown surrealistic experience in Sunday’s avant-garde “Part 8.”
Despite the experimental filmmaking and very little dialogue, the 50-minute bombardment of sound and fury coalesced into an intriguing origin story that promised a lot more sense in the contemporary story to come. Giving historical context to some of the things we’ve seen so far anchors the story in a way that it hasn’t been before. But this wasn’t just the story of one birth, but of many. Let’s break those and a few other theories down:

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.The key image in Part 5 of the revived Twin Peaks is of a woman in ecstasy. Recall, however, the subtitle that series co-creator/director David Lynch appended to his thorny 2006 masterpiece Inland Empire: "A Woman in Trouble." The line separating rapture and anguish is a blurry one, especially for Lynch's ladies, who are as likely to end up exquisitely chiseled corpses (the ubiquitous Laura Palmer; Part 2's doomed henchwoman Darya) as they are world-weary survivors. For the moment, let's focus on Rebecca "Becky" Burnett (Amanda Seyfried), daughter of Rr Diner waitress Shelly Johnson (Mädchen Amick), though Becky's last name—taken from ne'er-do-well husband Steven Burnett (Caleb Landry Jones)—obscures the identity of her father. (Dana Ashbrook's now-law-abiding Bobby Briggs is the most likely candidate,...

In the Episode 5 of “Twin Peaks,” we saw more of the town and that included some characters we’ve already reunited with in earlier episodes. Dr. Jacoby (Russ Tamblyn) has a conspiracy theory webcast in which he’s selling his golden shovels guaranteed to “shovel your way out of the shit,” Shelly (Madchen Amick) has to help out her daughter financially again because that no-good husband of hers can’t keep a job, and Hawk and Andy (Michael Horse, Harry Goaz) are still sifting through the old Laura Palmer case files. Speaking of, Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) is still living that Dougie life as an insurance agent and has his own stack of case files to sift through.
We also see a few more familiar faces for the first time this season. Here’s a breakdown of who’s who from the original series that showed up in Episode 5:

You’ve heard of it, haven’t you? The Golden Age of Television? While the original era can be traced back to the 1950s, many believe that such high-ranking, lucrative series in the vein of Mad Men, Breaking Bad and HBO’s fantasy flagship Game of Thrones have helped define a new generation of top-tier television where the amount of original scripted drama is so rich and diverse that, at times, it’s almost difficult to keep up.
But before men were mad – before thrones played games; before bad was broken; before the dead walked – there was another cult TV series that went on to amass a huge following, and its name is Twin Peaks.
For two seasons, Mark Frost and David Lynch’s eerie procedural captured the imagination of sci-fi fans, but dwindling ratings meant the show was abruptly pulled off the airwaves in 1991. In those intervening years, both...

Showtime has released a new promo spot for David Lynch's Twin Peaks revival and it actually features our first real footage of the cast reprising their roles. The title of the promo is "Some Familiar Faces 25 Years Later" and we get a look at older versions of Big Ed Hurley (Everett McGill), Carl Rodd (Harry Dean Stanton), Sarah Palmer (Grace Zabriskie), Deputy Andy Brennan (Harry Goaz), Deputy Tommy “Hawk” Hill (Michael Horse), and the series wouldn't be complete without FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan).
I've been rewatching the original series again recently and I knew it was insane, but I forgot how awesomely insane it actually was! I'm excited to see where Lynch is going to take things with this revival.

It is happening again, and ahead of the show’s long-anticipated return on May 21st, Showtime has rolled out yet another Twin Peaks teaser to whet your appetite.
But if Monday’s nostalgic promo left us feeling all warm and fuzzy inside after presenting a quick tour of three primary locations in the Double R Diner, Laura Palmer’s house, and the instantly recognizable sheriff’s department, today’s 50-second snippet is more concerned with the characters populating the titular, eerie town. That means you’ll be able to check in on such larger-than-life personas as Big Ed Hurley (Everett McGill), Carl Rodd (Harry Dean Stanton), Sarah Palmer (Grace Zabriskie), Deputy Andy Brennan (Harry Goaz), Deputy Tommy “Hawk” Hill (Michael Horse), and, of course, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), who remains one of the show’s primary characters.
