This.
 
@SpawnMan:
I hate to break it to you but this is more like the 7th generation, not the 3rd. Dragon Age is all about micro-management, you should be giving all your party members commands and pausing a lot, maybe you should read up a bit more about games before you buy them. Also I have to ask what games do you like?

@dbz1995:  They certainly suggested it very strongly, it seemed really obvious that was what was going on, it was one of those trailers that's more like a condensed version of the movie.

Yeah, but the poster obviously hasn't been here too long, and could easily jusy not know, it's not like this isn't a valid topic, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

  So, yeah...  The Owls aren't what they seem.
 
Really great stuff.  Thoe, i don't recommend watching the movie or the second half of season 2 in a hurry.  Something happened behind the scenes and Lynch left.  So basically, once the killer/s is found, you've seen all there is to really see.    Surprisingly good for a TV show. 
 
Also, use this.  It's a list of Twin Peaks episodes.  Just in case you think you might be watching them out of order.  In the first season, each episode starts with a summery of the previous.  So you should know if you missed one.  But  season two doesn't have those.  SO you might want to check the episode title.  You don't want to watch them out of order.  Lastly Have fun.  Twin Peaks is a really good series that sadly died young.  Afterwards you will differently think of the ERs differently. "
What happened behind the scenes is: 1. that after the first season David Lynch went off and made wild at Heart so he wasn't there for the first half of the second season 2. ABC were dicking the show around because they didn't have faith in it and made them reveal who Laura Palmer's murderer was way too early (Lynch and Frost always intended the murder mystery to be the intial hook that would then fade into the background for a little while while they established all the other storylines of the town and got people hooked on more than just finding out the killers identity).
 
As a big david Lynch fan I actually would reccommend the movie, but only if you were really into all the weird, trippy, bat-shit crazy bits of TV series because the movie is waaaaay mor Lynch-ian. I also really liked the first and last thirds of season 2, it just goes a bit aimless in the middle before they've set up the next mystery after the premature resolution of the Laura Palmer mystery.
 
Also if you're an X-Files fan you should look out fr a brilliant appearance by David Duchovny in season 2.
 
Sidebar: An example of how much this show gets into people's heads 1. my mum's friend, Anna, was redecorating and somehow subconsciously managed to paint the word BOB on the wall, she was so terrified she ran round to my mum's house (which was just round the corner). 2. The show was on when my mother was pregnant with me, I was 3 weeks overdue and the hospital wanted to keep her in for observation, but she insited she be discharged so she could watch the last episode of Twin Peaks.

@playastation: Yeah that'll be the pilot, it was actually made as straight to video movie (with the mystery's conclusion somehow tacked on to the end) that only got released in Europe as well so that it would still make some money if the show didn't get picked up.
 
You should be prepared for some cases of wildly over the top ham-acting, the show is self-aware and references a lot of soap type stuff, therefore some of its performances really belong on crappy day-time soaps.

@pslough93:  Oh yeah totally Empire Strikes Back, that blew my 6 year old mind.
 
@TheBalticOne:
Crap! How could I forget Usual Suspects, I really like that because I didn't see it coming, but if you watch it again you can see all the clues pointing towards it.

Shutter Island? It was too predictable.  For me, Old Boy was pretty good.  "
I haven't seen Shutter Island, but didn't the trailer basically give away the twist?
SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.
 
One of my favourite twists was Fight Club, it's certainly the only good one I can currently think of. I really like the way that once you know what's going on and watch the movie again the way all the characters interact seems totally different and your symapthies really shift.

It really is dependent on the movie, if you're watching a comedy you probably wanna be aiming for 90 minutes, I don't think most movies should go much over 2 hours, but I also really love the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy which are all pushing 4 hours. Films should be given as much time as the story deserves, I certainly don't believe in films being cut down just because producers and execitives don't have faith in their audience's attention span, but a good director knows not to be over-indulgent and tells the story in the best way possible, which usually means a around the 2 hour mark.

@playastation: As someeone who's very familiar with the series I can tell you that there aren't really specifics you need to know, but a familiarity with other work by David Lynch will probably mean you're prepared fo the tone and weirdness (Twin Peaks is pretty normal compared to some Lynch stuff); you should also be aware that it's kind of slow, the first few episodes in particular are all about settingnup tone and establishing characters, which I found very entertaining, but I know some people find a bit boring, even if you do I'd reccommend you stick with it. It's probably a good idea to know that a lot of time is focused away from the murder investigation, but it pretty much all comes round to show how everything in the town is linked.

@RJay_64:  Somewhere in between, I'd want to know what it is they don't find attractive, but since I'd already be feeling somewhat crushed I don't think I'd react well to a brutal response, like "you're fat and have a big nose". Diplomacy rather than outright lies I suppose. Not that I get rejected as I don't bother to ask, I just jump on 'em and yell SURPRISE!
