'Inland Empire' DVD available for pre-ordering
Great news! The two-disc DVD of David Lynch's newest film, "Inland Empire," is available for pre-ordering at Amazon.com (click below to pre-order):
Amazon lists the release date as July 24, although reports lately have said it will come out August 14. To be on the safe side, I'm assuming it's going to be the latter.
Either way, it's exciting that it'll be out on DVD soon. I did get to see it in the theater, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm desperate to own the DVD because, like many of Lynch's films (especially "Mulholland Drive" and "Lost Highway"), "Inland Empire" will require multiple viewings for a decent comprehension of what takes place during the three-hour feast for the senses.
[EDIT: Aug. 14 is now the confirmed release date.]

Season 2 DVD special features - and what would you want?
I've watched all the special features from the Season 2 set (except for the easter eggs, which I understand exist, but I haven't found them yet). My overall thought is that they're very good but just too short.
The selection of people interviewed for the set is great, both in terms of actors and crew members. But why cut the interviews so short? Surely these people have more to say about being part of such a groundbreaking series.
Perhaps, though, more material from those interviews will appear on the rumored full-series box set.
Which brings me to a little poll of sorts: If a box set containing the entire series does get released, what special features would you like to see on it that the previous two season box sets don't have? Post your answer in a comment.

Done with Season 2 episodes
I finished watching the Season 2 episodes on DVD tonight. It's truly amazing what the upgrade in picture/sound quality can do for the experience of watching the series.
I still have not watched any of the special features in the set but look forward to them.
If you've been watching the Season 2 DVDs, share your thoughts on it in a comment.

What was that Leland was singing?
Ever wondered what that crazy song is in Episode 8 (the first episode of season 2) that Leland sings both at his home (in front of Sarah and Maddy) and again at Ben Horne's office (prompting Ben and Jerry to dance)?
It's "Mairzy Doats," a 1943 novelty song by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman and Jerry Livingston.
Here are the lyrics:
I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon Some call it pretty others call it crazy but they all sing this tune: Mairzy Doats And Dozy Doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? Yes! Mairzy doats And Dozy Doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? If the words sound queer, and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey, Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy" Oh! Mairzy Doats and Dozy Doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you - oo? A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you?

Season 2 DVDs so far
In the first week, I've managed to watch only the first three episodes of season 2, which comprise the first disc.
The transfers in general look good. Not quite as good as season 1, but that's to be expected, since there were only two episodes per disc in the season 1 set, whereas there are three or four episodes on each disc of season 2, which probably means the season 2 shows are more compressed.
I have not watched any of the special features yet, other than the Log Lady intros at the beginning of each episode. I'm going to hold off on watching the interviews till I'm finished watching all the episodes.
It really is great to finally have season 2 on DVD. It's immeasurably better than low-quality VHS tapes.

Season 2 DVDs here at last
Today is the perfect day for the first post on this blog, since today marks the release of the second season of Twin Peaks on DVD - something TP fans have been waiting on for six years.
My own season 2 DVD set should be arriving soon. I've heard good things about this set and can't wait to see it for myself.
I've heard rumors that at some point - possibly before the end of the year - there will be a new Twin Peaks set that includes the entire series, including the first proper DVD release of the pilot (another TP release that's long overdue). Such a set would possibly include special features that are different from either of the two individual season sets. That'd be great, as would a new DVD of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me that includes the legendary Lynch-approved deleted scenes.
But the talk about a complete-series set is just a rumor at this point, so for now I'm going to enjoy my individual season sets.
