During the pandemic David Lynch released a daily weather video in which he reported what the weather was at his home in Los Angeles.

Yep, no contest. Compared to the sterile, boring, brooding Villeneuve version - a tone that worked well in Blade Runner 2049 however - it's so much more entertaining and interesting.
I liked the first one from Villeneuve because for the most part it stuck to the story but the second one veered off into its own story. I know its nerdy but I absolutely hate when movies of classic books think the story needs to be changed (I'm looking at you, Peter Jackson).
In a vacuum I don't love the changes he made to Part 2 but I can also see how they will make it flow much better into Part 3 than Dune > Dune Messiah ever did (that always felt disjointed to me); as well as make that story more compelling.
Sad to hear. Personally I think I've only seen Mulholland Drive before, but long time ago. I enjoy surreal movies in general, so kind of weird I haven't seen more of Lynch's work. What personal favorites do other HNers have, of what he'd done?

They are not 'normal', which is something I always admired about David Lynch. He had a very personal style and vision, and stuck with it.
Never tripped out harder than watching Blue Velvet one lonely night.
Also Twin Peaks, so trippy.
A true legend RIP

Twin Peaks is the best TV show ever made
The first season is a masterpiece. Second season goes off the rails and loses direction fairly early on
How sad. Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive (the IMO under-appreciated pilot), and yes his Dune even though he didn't like it are some of my favourite movies of all time. RIP
Hopefully it will get reappraised, now

I'm still reserving judgement. In a vacuum I don't love the changes he made to Part 2 but I can also see how they will make it flow much better into Part 3 than Dune > Dune Messiah ever did (that always felt disjointed to me); as well as make that story more compelling.
