James Hurley

excited.

James Hurley.

Secret boyfriend.

James Hurley.

Deputy Andy?

Sorry, Andy.

And this, again, is a, a, I guess like a character motif or something that definitely shows up, also super bizarrely without much explanation in Twin Peaks.

There's this character named James, kinda like James Dean, who wears a leather jacket, who actually winds up... who rides a motorcycle and ends up having an accident on this motorcycle.

And I...

The best I can do with it is to say, like, it's back to your, your statement about Lynch is taking on, um, classic Hollywood imagery, James Dean and, and whatnot, and that, uh, on the one hand, he's honoring it, and then at the same time, he's fracturing it and using it for some deeper, darker, and ultimately more interesting purpose.

Well, I mean, to that point, it is sort of...

His relationship with his parents is very weird.

Yeah

...

Major Briggs shows up, gives another warning, and wanders off again.

James is being framed in a side plot that is somehow still going.

Donna slides in to try and convince him to come back to the main storyline.

They run around a bit, avoiding police officers until James shows up to confront Evelyn Marsh, but Malcolm shows up, but then Donna shows up, but then Evelyn shoots Malcolm.

Film noir chaos.

Audrey is stepping up to the plate to get Bobby and Jerry to help get her dad's sanity back.

It doesn't quite, because there's the muddy justice of it all.

It's film noir, right? This really embraces the film noir culture in a big way.

For sure.

I mean, either that or James.

I want to go dig out the leather jacket.

Don't tell Rory that.

Rory likes James a lot.

Oh,

we've had this discussion.

Yeah.

massive betrayal of our friendship that i didn't know this until right now

i can't believe you didn't know yeah no it's like like james hurley as freddy krueger is the sort of pitch i would make i

was gagged right now

yeah i'm gooped but yeah i was like if i'm sure it like i don't know this movie didn't feel like deep enough i was probably pulling deeper references from these things but i like that It feels very split

You see my

stamp, right? The ride or die and James Hurley underneath.

Absolutely.

I noticed you crossed out Ed Hurley and then put James.

You know, we never really talked about it that much.

Do you guys really think that, uh, James Hurley has that big of a head?

No.

I know.
