SEPTEMBER UPDATE: This podcast is now public (and in illustrated video form) - more details here.

Today is the day. Ten years ago, probably around the time I'm writing this, I established my Blogger account, clicked "Create a New Blog," and chose the title "thedancingimage" to go with the "blogspot" domain. The name change to Lost in the Movies would come further down the line, along with many other transformations but that's where it all began.

I'm still working on my full archive page, which may or may not be divided into individual chapter posts (illustrated directories for thirty different "eras" of the site) to be shared over the coming month - particularly if that's something readers are interested in exploring that way (let me know). For now, the commemoration is in the form of this post, including a public list of my "top" David Lynch/Twin Peaks pieces and (non-Lynch) video essays from the past ten years. On the podcast for patrons (a great day to join if you've been thinking about it!) I offer my perspective on this work, providing background or explanations for each selection and also narrating a broad overview of the past decade on the site itself and in the big picture/background that informed my evolution as an author.

Finally, I share some plans for the future, including a lot of ideas for different projects and series, and a detailed breakdown of the chapters I'm planning for the new Journey Through Twin Peaks (as well as a list of "unseen" popular films that I might cover for another series). Considering the inquiries I've received about upcoming Journey videos, I'm guessing this will probably be the most intriguing part of the podcast for many listeners. However, there's a lot of other material to check out here as well, including shout-outs to the fellow travelers: guests or hosts of my work, as well as bloggers and other creators whose invidual paths crossed mine.




I also continued my recent biweekly preview format, outlining my approach to an upcoming character study, in this case Laura Palmer again. Laura's timeline has proved lengthier than I expected, so this is the third of four previews (after her, I'll delve into Cooper).

The podcast's Return rewatch will resume next week (on schedule for the one-year anniversary of Part 11), and I'm not sure yet what will be going on for Lost in the Movies itself in the coming days and weeks. I may post individual chapters of the archive each day or I may just publish links to them as pages in one single post. Either way, I hope you continue to enjoy exploring the archive, as well as reading, viewing, or listening to my future work...
