He had the best hair(cut). If I ever rock a toupet it‘s going to be this.
Film David Lynch R.I.P

I’m a heathen who never watched twin peaks.
Is it worth a go?

Read the book last year. Good book.
Also recommended Lynch on Lynch.
same, liked both - good insight into his persona and work
Meanwhile in the United game...
It's a good thing he didn't live to see this first half performance
Good morning. It's January 16, 2025 and it's a Thursday. Here in LA it's a cloudy morning with a very slight breeze blowing. 57 degrees Fahrenheit, around 14 degrees Celsius. Today I was thinking about Bob Dylan and his song 'Things Have Changed'. This afternoon it'll be going up to 66 degrees Fahrenheit, around 19 degrees Celsius and once again these clouds are going to burn away probably mid morning; maybe stay till lunch but after that we're going to be seeing once again beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine all along the way. Everyone, have a great day.
The world is a less interesting place without him

I was hoping the long silence from his YouTube channel was because he was making a new movie or show.
Very sad to hear the news of his passing. RIP.

Sad to say I haven't seen many of his films but I caught Mulholland Drive on TV one night a few years back and wow what a fever dream of a movie, it stayed with me for days afterwards. RIP.
Was one of the most novel American (or any nationality) director ever.
Yes. You have the original and the recent(ish) ending series to go through. Changed television forever from what i can tell.
I have 1 or 2 hours to invest every night and some of that is traitors at the moment but feel like I should watch it.
In the same way I’ve just read 1984. Just feels like I should know what hapoens
Only watched Twin Peaks for the first time a few years ago but it really is incredible.
If I could rewatch any film for the first time again it would be Mulholland Drive.
From Lynch's back catalogue, it'll either be Twin Peaks or Eraserhead for me.
soo good!!
Is he the one who directed the film "Rabbits" which is honestly one of the eeriest, creepiest things I've ever seen.
Yes! It's my favourite Lynchian thing, posted episode one on the previous page. It's a sitcom though (according to DL, naturally), not a movie.
Such a genius. I did art at university and he was such a big inspiration.
Yes, I think it's the best David Lynch entry point! It starts off relatively normal, for Lynch, and gets progressively scarier, cleverer, more surreal and lot more bonkers, the third season that was released in 2017(?) just goes off the edge entirely, no questions answered and like nothing you've ever seen before. I loved it!
And has the best and most romantic payoff ever committed to film.
Twin Peaks is great, and worth a watch (at least the first sixteen episodes or so). I would warn that it is dated, moreso than his movies. It was cutting edge and all but it's still a network television show from 1990.
I think the only film I still haven't watched of his is The Straight Story, so may give that a watch this weekend.
That's his strangest film. It will blow your mind.
I haven't seen any of his films (Will have to watch some soon, really) but Twin Peaks became such a big part of my teenage years. Absolutely loved the show, that at times scared the crap out of me, and I watched it several times. So special.
One of my favorites. Twin Peaks is always on my mind, probably my favorite TV show. Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive are just incredible movies. He was a true artist, and i loved the fact that he would never dilute his work explaining things. Will probably rewatch twin peaks now.
That’s lovely. Great Trent Reznor quote too.
Inland Empire is the one I just couldn’t hack. The Digital style on top of peak Lynch weirdness was too much for me when I watched it aged ~20 or so. Does anyone on here strongly recommend it?
Not for me. It's like the Dark Souls of Lynch movies, and it seemed to miss anything pulling the pieces together, but I'm sure some love it.
It has got rabbits in a sitcom for no particular reason though which is possibly a plus.

For me Lynch switching over to the digital really made me realise how much of an artist he was.
There are many great directors who have a nerdy fetish and nostalgia for film. It’s only a “real film” if it’s done in 35mm, has minimal cgi, etc but a true visionary like Lynch saw digital as new material.
One of the most 90’s photos of all time
I need to revisit it. Hopefully some of his films might get reissued again in the cinemas. Would love to see Inland Empire on the big screen.
