Alien Superstar

I guess there's just two kinds of people Ms. Sandstone: my kind of people and assholes. It's rather obvious which category you fit into. Have a nice day.

It is the phenomenon sometimes called alienation from self. In its advanced stages, we no longer answer the telephone, because someone might want something; that we could say no without drowning in self-reproach is an idea alien to this game. Every encounter demands too much, tears the nerves, drains the will, and the spectre of something as small as an unanswered letter arouses such disproportionate guilt that one's sanity becomes an object of speculation among one's acquaintances. To assign unanswered letters their proper weight, to free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves—there lies the great, the singular power of self-respect. Without it, one eventually discovers the final turn of the screw: one runs away to find oneself, and finds no one at home.

"On Self-Respect", Joan Didion

Richard Beymer, who played Benjamin Horne in Twin Peaks, took a remarkable series of black and white, behind the scenes photographs during the filming of the original series’ final episode in 1991. With David Lynch’s permission, Beymer used his own Olympus camera to document the final days on set after the in-house photographer had left due to the show’s cancellation.

Alert of unexpected ship! I know you all weren’t expecting to see Judy from Dance Girl Dance and Sylvester from Sylvia Scarlett together… but my girlfriend created this EXTREMELY niche old Hollywood fan fiction and I’m calling you all to please read it.
