Well Lynch famously said this over and over about his films — that they mean whatever people think they mean. Watch a few interviews where he is asked what a film of his means. A smirk comes on his face and he repeats his mantra. He never let on.
I'd argue many creators are this way. Nobody is ever going to approach a piece of art the same way. Unless you are a narcissist (probable billionare) who feels the need to go back and explain every detail about the wizarding world you created a few decades later and reveal what kind of piece of crap you are.
> you are a narcissist (probable billionare)
These days you'll have to be more specific.

#365Family announced on Facebook? Ironic, since David had said he was not on Facebook.
God speed you shinny diamond.

#366Sad day for film fans and a sad day for Phillip Morris stockholders.
Do you think the LA wildfires and poor air quality accelerated his death? He had emfysemia
I would guess it probably triggered a crisis. He did an interview last year? where he talked about how bad his health was and his smoking. I read he had to be evacuated but I'm not certain it's true. That would have been a major stressor on him.

I feel the same. If Blue Velvet was the first Lynch movie I saw, I surely wouldn't have bothered with the rest, and I would have missed out on what I now consider one of my absolute favorites (Mulholland Drive). Same goes for Eraserhead and Wild at Heart.
It was my first, and I didn't bother with the rest. There's just something in it that made me viscerally hate it, and I'm usually fond of surreal movies.
It's worth giving Mulholland Drive a look. And the Elephant Man and The Straight Story are nothing like Blue Velvet.

If someone is not into art films, to not start with Twin Peaks is absolutely insane to me. First two seasons of Twin Peaks are his masterpiece IMO and his most watchable. Those are some of the best characters of any film/tv show ever. From there I would go to Lost Highway next for a stronger dose of the more out there stuff.
i tried watching Twin Peaks but my GenZ attention-hungy brain got really bored during the first episode. maybe i should give it another shot... it's not like i'm not used to watching long movies and i would call myself some form of cinephile, but for some reason Twin Peaks felt unbelievably slow.
Twin peaks is incredible and Agent Cooper is a kind of a role model haha, never seen any other character like him

"What a heavy load Einstein must've had. Fuckin' morons, everywhere." David Lynch
Mmm not a great quote..
Ha, I kind of agree with you, and I'm a little embarrassed it's as upvoted as it is. I just love the silly little video of him saying it and then cracking up. It pops into my head a lot and gives me a laugh. I just felt like sharing it to be goofy. Didn't imagine it would end up at the top of the thread!
Re: David Lynch has died
#370Shit. I wasn't expecting him to die anytime soon, so this came as a surprise. RIP
He had to retire due to emphysema. The work of his Foundation continues (as though anyone here takes it seriously).
I wasn't keeping up with his personal life, so it makes more sense now considering his illness. I still find it crazy how he remained a smoker for basically all his life even after it was proven to be awful for your health.
