San Diego Comic Con is mostly an exercise is carefully curated public relations. It has become such a well-oiled machine, before the event even begins, people already know what movie trailers they’re going to get, and who is going to show up on panels, with everything parcelled out in well-rehearsed soundbites. Well, thank goodness for David Lynch. The director didn’t step onto the floor at SDCC this year, but instead sent along a video message for the “Twin Peaks” panel, and it’s perfectly, terrifically strange.

If you’re looking for clues about the back-half of the new season of “Twin Peaks,” forget about it. Instead, Lynch sits in a weird, dark room, warns a guy not to go through a door, presents what is allegedly the last golf ball O.J. Simpson hit before going to prison and….well, you’ll just want to watch the whole thing. There is no one else quite like David Lynch, and especially in an environment geared for maximum fan approval, we love that the director took his own oddball path.
“Twin Peaks” returns on Sunday.
