I'm so grateful he was able to make Twin Peaks: The Return before he passed. It's one of the most brilliant and moving pieces of fiction I've ever experienced. If they had started it just a few years later it may have never been finished.
The Mitchum (sp?) brothers arc evokes so much joy it’s just hilarious.

I think he was talking about literal ants. David Lynch’s work was never symbolic. You only ever got what was right in front of you. The moment you start seeing symbols in his work, you know you’re viewing it wrong. Edit: Lynch’s YT channel is filled with weather reports and random numbers. How much more anti-symbolic can you get?

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!
Eraserhead is borderline unwatchable. I love David Lynch, sort of, but without telling people that they're about to sit down and watch an hour-and-a-half of what is effectively an unwatchable piece of avant-garde cinema, then they're not going to be able to appreciate it. There is nothing worse than getting excited to see a famous director's debut film, thinking you're going to have a good time, and then getting Eras…

I'm also ashamed to say I've also never seen any of his movies and TV series but this still hits hard because of his influence on some my most cherished fictional properties. These are Alan Wake/Control, Silent Hill 1&2, Returnal and Disco Elysium. Actually, his influence on how surrealist fiction is presented throughout all media cannot be understated. I was surprised to read even the original Zelda has him as an in…

The fact that it should be available implies that its expected functionality and that one should expect prior posts to be visible and read.
In this case the info obtained is that you know this opinion is disfavored enough that you created a separate account to express it. Again pretty obvious and in itself unlike the opinion pretty noncontroversial

Eraserhead is highly watchable, but the first time you see it, it's best to just experience it without trying to process it too much. The nuance comes through on repeat viewings.
It is a film explicitly designed to be unpleasant. This may be artistically interesting, but it's certainly no going to appeal to most people.
