“Twin Peaks” may or may not return for a fourth season at some point in the next 25 years, but that doesn’t mean fans can’t return to it in a new way. Showtime and Collider Games have announced that “Twin Peaks Vr” will premiere at the upcoming Festival of Disruption in Los Angeles. The experience will feature virtual locations from both the original and new iterations of David Lynch’s iconic series, which managed the impressive feat of ending on an even more open-ended note when it returned for 18 episodes last year than the first finale did in 1991.
“Utilizing lines and sounds from the show itself, players will travel to Glastonbury Grove, only to end up in the puzzling Red Room. Fans of the series will follow in the footsteps of Special Agent Dale Cooper and try to make their way back into the life they left behind,” reads a statement from Collider Games.

The Guardian's art critic Adrian Searle gave his opinion of the film shortly after its release: he was impressed by the accuracy of Jacobi's performance, if not by the insertion of YBAs into the pub scenes …
The painter Francis Bacon, who turned down both the Order of Merit and the Companion of Honour, is crouched over the bed in nothing but his underpants. He waits. His lover, a Kray gang hanger-on called George Dyer, stands over him, a cigarette in his mouth, a belt twisted in his fist.
This is a scene from John Maybury's Love Is the Devil, subtitled "Study for a portrait of Francis Bacon" starring Derek Jacobi as the painter, and Daniel Craig as Dyer, Bacon's lover, tormentor, victim and model. In the film, Dyer, a hapless East End burglar, introduces himself by crashing through the skylight of Bacon's tiny South Kensington studio, while attempting a burglary.

Getty Images Director David Lynch, singer Katy Perry and actor Russell Brand attend the 3rd Annual “Change Begins Within” Benefit Celebration presented by The David Lynch Foundation.
With his manic energy and cheeky vocabulary, British comic Russell Brand hardly seems like a poster boy for Transcendental Meditation.
But Mr. Brand, who credits the meditation technique for helping him stay sober, is indeed a practitioner of Tm and served as a master of ceremonies Saturday night for the David Lynch Foundation...

Directed by the documentarist and animator Jes Benstock, this playful movie is partly a biography of the gay, ever-cheerful, Oxford-educated sculptor Andrew Logan and the extravagantly staged Alternative Miss World shows he's been putting on at various London venues since 1972. Using a deal of gaudy archive footage, it's built around the 12th show in the series, mounted at the Roundhouse with Ruby Wax as co-presenter in 2009. The performers range from the countercultural director and artist Derek Jarman, one of Logan's earliest supporters on the gay scene, to pillar of the establishment Sir Norman Rosenthal of the Royal Academy, bravely letting his hair down. The events are a very English combination of carnival, kids' dressing-up parties, drag balls and PoW camp shows. I enjoyed the film, but I cannot describe the lengths I'd go to or the excuses I'd offer to avoid attending one of these entertainments.

Several of Hollywood's biggest names are coming out in support of Julian Schnabel's controversial new film "Miral," with quotes from Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem featured in a new ad for the film in the Los Angeles Times.
Schnabel wades into the ever-simmering Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his new film, "Miral"; based on the semi-autobiographical book by Rula Jebreal, "Miral," a new Weinstein Company release, tells the story of an orphaned Palestinian girl (Freida Pinto of "Slumdog Millionaire") who finds herself thrust into the ethnic and political conflict once she leaves her safe orphanage. A number of Jewish groups have protested against the film, including asking the Un not to show it at a recent screening.
Their sentiment is not shared by a number of other Jewish groups, or by many in both the film and political studies worlds.
“Julian Schnabel’s film is a unique and courageous glimpse into one woman’s painful journey.

The docu Legend includes interviews with Boy George, Damien Hirst, Michael Clark, Rifat Ozbek, Bella Freud, Cerith Wyn Evans and the Royal Academy of Art Norman Rosenthal.
