RIP to a legend. I remember renting the world's worst quality VHS tapes of Twin Peaks before the DVD remaster came out, but loving every second of it (excluding the James and Donna duet of course). Coincidentally, I'm on a road trip across the state and made plans to stop at Tweede's for lunch.

#102I was thinking of him last night after watching an old David Foster Wallace interview. Lynch was one of a kind.

#103Earlier quoted context omitted.
"What a heavy load Einstein must've had. Fuckin' morons, everywhere." David Lynch
I have never seen a single one of his movies but I love watching interviews with him, he had an amazing presence and so much energy.
Start with "Eraserhead" and then go from there. Surreal is the word I associate with his movies and tv show (Twin Peaks) and I absolutely love watching such movies!

#104Love Twin Peaks. Puget Sound resident here. I can see the big driftwood log Laura Palmer was found next to from my window.
Another nice thing about Twin Peaks is it inspired Chris Carter's X-files and the early X-files seasons have that same dreary feel to them Twin Peaks did.
Aside from, obviously, David Duchovny, more than a handful of the regular Twin Peaks cast showed up in the X Files. Shapes ft. Michael Horse and Humbug ft. Michael J. Anderson are two particularly great early episodes.

#106"My childhood was elegant homes, tree-lined streets, the milkman, building backyard forts, droning airplanes, blue skies, picket fences, green grass, cherry trees. Middle America as it's supposed to be. But on the cherry tree there's this pitch oozing out – some black, some yellow, and millions of red ants crawling all over it.

Reminiscent of the opening scene of Blue Velvet .
I find it interesting how much Ebert hated that movie. I'm not sure how I feel about it myself, tbh, but I am certain I don't have his conviction to state it clearly and unambiguously. The film certainly made me feel things no other movie has.

Man I wonder if he knew what the neighbors got up to when their spouses were out of town.
"I discovered that if one looks a little closer at this beautiful world, there are always red ants underneath." -- Well, he ain't just talking about literal ants...

#108Mulholland Drive is one of my all-time favorites. A genius director!
Yes for me it's a tie between Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway. I also prefer Mulholland drive.
The news makes me sad, I feel like I've lost a friend, even though I never met Lynch.

My favorite is Lost Highway. And here's what I think it is "about": unbearable remorse.
