The American director of such classics as ERASERHEAD, THE ELEPHANT MAN, BLUE VELVET and the surreal TV series TWIN PEAKS has passed away at the age of 78 🥺🥺
RIP :bluesad:
- you posted this literally one minute before my thread. I'll delete it
weirdly I'd lined up to start watching TWIN PEAKS tonight. still never seen it all, just the opening couple of episodes
not totally crazy about all his work, but WILD AT HEART and MULHOLLAND DRIVE are two of the best films ever made imo
Sad news. I liked Twin Peaks when it first aired. Eraserhead has images that stay with you. I liked his version of Dune even though he obviously didn't approve of it in the end, and I think Villeneuve's first Dune owes alot to it. I associate the bad ideas in Lynch's version with the studio. RIP.
I just heard of this myself. This was the man who gave us this classic movie moment...

Rest in peace, David Lynch.

What the-? Oh no!
One of my favorite directors of ALL TIME.
There's not one film of his that I've seen that I don't love.
RIP

The following
Dune miniseries and Dennis Villanueva films might have been better in terms of pacing and not trying to stuff everything into a two hour film. But there's only one Gurney Halleck for me. That's Jean-Luc Picard. And only one Feyd and that was Sting.
He died 5 days before his birthday. He would have been 79 Wednesday.
In the smallest possible gesture I can manage to express my most immense gratitude towards my favorite artist in any (and in fact several) medium, this post will represent the only appearance I will ever make on this website outside of the WWTF? and "Movie Reviews" section. :lookingup: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad: :bluesad:
Nice to meet you, Sprite75. Thank you for cat herding.
This leaves a giant hole in cinema
Lynch had a very distinct style — the very weird and excellent films
Twin Peaks is excellent
RIP
