Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces (2014)

So many great scenes but one is so good and I don't know why it was cut from the movie. Ofcourse, I'm talking about the scene in which Pete Martell is selling a piece of wood to the old man. Priceless.

Fmovies: In a way it seems wrong to review Missing Pieces as a movie, since it's really just a more elaborate than usual DVD extras video.

It's been years since I saw Fire Walk with Me (which, against popular and critical opinion of the time, I loved), so often I can't put these scenes in a real context within the film. Still, it's interesting to see more of Laura's life, and it's unfortunate these scenes were cut.

Other scenes, on the other hand, aren't really worth much, particularly an endless fight scene near the beginning (the first half hour of Missing Pieces is pretty missable).

Some scenes were basically for fans of characters I never cared about. There were plot threads of Twin Peaks I was never much interested in, like the saw mill, and I'm fine with the movie not doing a shout out to every character.

Releasing these scenes is a nice present to Twin Peaks fans, but it would have been better to simply release the original cut, which was over three hours. Noble amateurs have apparently cut Missing Pieces into the original movie, bless them, but they shouldn't have had to.

If you liked the movie and want to see some more of Sheryl Lee's amazing performance and of the general wackiness, check it out. For that it's quite good.

This is not a film. "So what is this film" you may ask? Well long time "Twin Peaks" (Like myself) waited for over 20 years to see this footage. When I finally got my set (2 weeks after I was supposed too) I was like a child on Christmas morning. I watched this every scene with a wide smile.

In 1992 when David Lynch released this "Feature film" fans of the television show were disappointed. See their favorite characters from the television show were almost non-existent. In fact the ones that did pop up were almost in cameo roles.

Now what these scene include is mostly footage that could of been included in the feature film but were cut for time. However I think all the scenes from that included the character "Theresa Banks" should have been left in.

Now again this is not a film this is just deleted scenes. They are however well worth watching. I wish David Lynch would however re-edit the film to include some of these scenes. (Not all of these scenes should be re-edited back in). David Lynch has been on the record several times stating the theatrical cut his his cut of the film. He has no intention of ever re-cutting the film. Which is fine. I do love "Fire Walk With Me" but he should think about it!

You can look for a re-edited fan cut of the film. It just won't be an official version. I saw one it ran way over 3 hours and seem to play faster than the official version!

Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces fmovies. This film is basically the cut and deleted scenes from the Fire Walk With Me film, which ended up being long enough and relevant enough to be able to make a whole freaking movie with. This is something for the hardcore Twin Peaks fans and will make zero sense to whoever else. This film does have relevant scenes, so much so that I would even argue this film is mandatory viewing for hardcore fans of the series. Whatever, on to season 3.

It's impossible to review this collection of clips (I cannot call it a feature movie) without looking back at Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Although I liked TP:Fire Walk With me, I found it lacking in many departments, especially the pacing in the first "Blue Rose & Dale Copper" - prehistory part. Still, the latter part of the movie, about the last 48 hours of Laura's life remain, a chilling and upsetting depiction of a torchured young life. All of this made it for a very uneven film for me.

The Missing Pieces right this wrong. There are many insightful clips that extend the universe and the meanings behind all things Twin Peaks and even make some things in the third season of the TV series more clear.

So basically, if you've watched TP:FWWM and liked it you NEED to watch this. If you are confused with few bits and pieces from the third season of the TV show - you NEED to see this. If you have not watched Fire Walk With Me or you did not care about it, you can skip this - it will look like a whole bunch of nonsense to you. For me it made perfect sense and I enjoyed revisiting the world of Twin Peaks once more.

I was a fan of "Twin Peaks" from episode 1 until the end. It was sad when the show went off the rails in season 2. I still stuck with it because I knew it would be great again and "It almost was".

In Season 2 when the death of Laura Palmer was solved the show should of shut down production for a few weeks so they could figure out where to take the show. Well they didn't do that and what we got was about 6 weeks of watching a show going down in flames!

When the show got its groove back it was too late. The audience was gone. What was worse was that the show ended on a cliffhanger.

I was hoping the film "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" would solve the cliffhanger but it didn't. However I still love the film. I herd for years there was deleted scenes but it took 22 years for those scenes to pop up. Once I saw them I loved them. I just wish David Lynch would have re-edited the film" to include many of these scenes.

Most of the missing pieces here are scenes that feature cast members from the TV show. The theatrical film however did not feature most of our favorite characters. Thankfully now we get to see them here.

To me some of the scenes that should have been left in should have been

*Teresa Banks phone Calls" "Laura Hiding in the bushes when she sneaks out"

The Blu-ray Set is worth buying just to see these scenes.
