“Stand and Deliver”, the 20th episode of the 2nd season, of the seriously under-rated animated series, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, paid tribute to David Lynch and Mark Frost‘s Twin Peaks with a very straightforward reference to The Red Room and The Black Lodge. Actor Michael J. Anderson was even called in to lend his voice to a little dancing dwarf while mimicking the famous “forwards/backwards” speech effect. Watch the clip below. Enjoy!

It’s easy to get lost in the flurry of movie marketing which assaults the senses on a daily basis. For every Saul Bass masterpiece there are ten dozen blue and orange backed face collages. For every hazy photo-perfect Drew Struzan there are many handfuls of uninspired collisions of well known faces and names. The lowest common denominator is an easy target when you’re looking to grab each of the four quadrants by the scruff of the ignorance.
In an age when fan made posters are easily mistaken, and then preferred, to the real deal and pioneers like Olly Moss and the multitude of Mondo posters and their variants find their work snapped up within seconds of their being made available there is a case to be made that a decent, memorable poster may not be the one seen on the bus stops and tube stations of the land. »

There are few things more infuriating than finding out that one of your favourite TV shows has just been cancelled; you’ve invested countless hours in not just watching but theorising about it, and now you’re probably going to be deprived of answers as the show is unceremoniously hurled into the televisual abyss, never to be heard from again (except in a few lucky cases).
With their crushing lack of closure combined with the fact that they consistently outshone dreck that continues to get renewed (I almost hate to say it, but does anyone like the new Simpsons episodes?), it’s a frustrating testament to the fickle nature of the TV industry.
Some of these shows have been teased with returns, though given that little of that information is concrete, we’ll presume they’re stone-dead for now. Here are awesome TV shows cancelled before their time…

Exciting new Channel 4 import Rebound, known in French as Les Revenants, promises a different take on a very familiar genre…
“Leave it to the French to take all the fun out of a Zombie flick, overly intellectualizing even the most base of cinema forms.” That was the light-heartedly xenophobic verdict of one critic on Robin Campillo’s 2004 Les Revenants (They Came Back), a film that stages the return of the dead not as a lead pipe ‘n’ chainsaw bludgeon-fest, but a social drama about how we’d really greet our resurrected loved ones.
Tongue-in-cheek though that line presumably is, it reveals a few commonly held presuppositions about the walking dead in fiction. The first is that the presence of zombies turns a film into a flick, a substitution that’s more than just synonym. Flicks are fun, light-weight, popcorn-spillers, ninety minute thrill-rides that »

There’s something mind-boggling about watching Twin Peaks all these years later. It’s an easy show to dismiss now; after all, the TV landscape is littered with bizarre characters in even stranger situations. Twin Peaks might not have been the first show to explore the stranger, darker side of seemingly normal characters, but it certainly set the bar for unexpected TV brilliance.
Beginning with the murder of homecoming queen and all around small town princess Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) comes to the small logging town where he meets up with Sheriff Harry Truman (Michael Ontkean) and sets about solving the odd murder. At the onset, it looks like a conventional murder mystery. By the time Dale starts having dreams about a red room and a giant who gives him clues about the murder you know that’s very far from being the case. »

In the past, visual effects guru, Steven Johnson and his Xfx studio, made a pitch to 20th Century Fox to be the special effects team for a Fantastic Four film. This was before the Tim Story film was made, and at that time Nicolas Cage was penciled in to play the role of the main villain, Doctor Victor Von Doom. Steve has now released has put these images up for sale on EBay.

A box-office failure, David Lynch's Fire Walk With Me divided critics in 1992. James looks back at a surreal cult film...
When Vincent Canby famously described Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992) as "…not the worst movie ever made; it just seems to be," the renowned Us critic was merely reflecting the overwhelming response to David Lynch’s big-screen prequel to his recently cancelled TV show.
Audibly jeered by the notoriously fickle festival crowd at its unveiling in Cannes, even fellow filmmakers joined the chorus of disapproval against Lynch.
At the festival for the first time with his debut feature, Reservoir Dogs, director Quentin Tarantino went so far as to say: "I’m not ragging on other people, but after I saw Fwwm […] David Lynch has disappeared so far up his own ass that I have no desire to watch another […] Lynch film until I hear something different. »

Like many of you out there, we here at SciFi Mafia read the recent rumors about the possibility of a Twin Peaks Season 3 and we didn’t jump into the mix because they really seemed like just rumors. While we actually still feel that way, it’s important to note that some of the heavy hitters are weighing in on the rumor. And with their responses it’s sort of a good news/ bad news scenario.
Good news is that, as reported by IGN and others, NBC president, Jennifer Salke, heard the rumors as well and responded with great enthusiasm.
“I called everybody when I got the email,” she said. “None of us had gotten a call about that, not from an agent, not from the writer, not the head of drama… so we’re wondering the same thing you are.”
“When it came up we all looked at each other and said, »

The 1990 drama "Twin Peaks" only lasted for two short seasons -- and a TV movie -- but it made a lasting impact on the television landscape, influencing countless supernatural and mystery series that followed.
It comes as little surprise, given the public's current thirst for nostalgia, that we're beginning to hear rumors of a potential "Twin Peaks" revival series.
Unfortunately, they're just rumors. And entirely unfounded ones, at that.
Several sites are reporting that NBC has sought out "Twin Peaks" creators Mark Frost and David Lynch in the interest of revisiting the show and potentially answering some of the unanswered questions left after its abrupt cancellation. Frost, however, tells The Daily Beast's Jace Lacob that there have been no such conversations.
Additionally, after buzz began to grow earlier this week, Frost tweeted, "Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by. »

Last month, fans of Twin Peaks were given a glimmer of hope that they might finally learn the fate of FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) when co-creator Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) revealed that reviving the cult TV series is something he and David Lynch (Blue Velvet) "talk about from time to time."
Well, now a new (and completely unverified) rumour has emerged via Twitter, suggesting that Lynch has pitched a third season of the show to NBC, which is said to pick up in the present and would revolve around a young female reporter seeking to uncover the truth about the town, the Black Lodge, and the demonic entity Bob. Apparently the 'good Cooper' will have spent the intervening years trapped within the lodge, while his possessed physical form has been locked up in prison for the murder of two of the town's residents.

"Twin Peaks" won't be revived ... at least on NBC.
Internet reports have swirled about a possible meeting between "Twin Peaks" co-creator David Lynch and NBC brass about reviving the show, picking up 25 years after the series ended.
However, a source close to the situation told The Huffington Post that no such meeting took place between NBC and Lynch.
Co-creator Mark Frost seemed to light the fire in regards to a revival when he told "Sci-Fi Now" magazine that bringing "Twin Peaks" back is “something we talk about from time to time," Moviehole quotes Frost as saying. "If we ever do decide to move forward, I know we have a rich trove to draw from.”
Frost took to Twitter to coyly quash the rumors.
"Twin Peaks" originally ran for two seasons on ABC from 1990-1991. The show was a critical hit in its first season, but ratings began to decline for Season 2. The show was shelved, »

Garbed in the heaviest of rumour disclaimers comes a whisper that NBC could be in talks with David Lynch to revive Twin Peaks...
Update: No. It really isn't. Here's what co-creator Mark Frost had to say on Twitter about the matter: "Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by. Sincerely yours, @mfrost11".
In all honesty, the answer to the above question is probably: no, it isn't, but in the interest of having something to talk about on a blustery January afternoon, let's rehearse the rumour currently circulating.
According to a suspect anonymous forum post (yes, that's roughly as official as this one gets), David Lynch has been in talks with NBC to discuss a possible revival for the early nineties show that brought the world the Red Room, the Log Lady, and the world's most »

Sincerely yours, @mfrost11" Bummer. As far as any associations that “Fringe” or “The Killing” might attempt, there would have to be quite an effort made to unseat David Lynch's legendary TV show, “Twin Peaks.” 22 years after Laura Palmer first disappeared, the procedural's fans still remain dedicated, and if recent rumblings are anything to go by, those over at ABC are hoping those core followers are indeed looking for more.
