probably have only seen Dune to be honest lol

I am not a sci-fi guy, so perhaps my opinion is skewed, but Dune is probably my least favorite Lynch film.

Wow, pour one out for Lynch. Feels like the last great film maker of a generation.

Last night, I was explaining Mulholland Drive to someone who told me he was going to try to watch it this weekend. Holy timing.

Inimitable artist. Those infinite monkeys and typewriters/cameras couldn’t replicate his vision, even at his worst. How many people can you say that about? One of a kind brain.

I assume it means they haven't at least seen Elephant Man. And if they have and still say "nah, nothing he did was good" then we could probably pretty safely saw that person in half. That isn't a person. That's a cake.

Mel Brooks producing The Elephant Man and specifically requesting David Lynch is one of the most perfectly weird duos to ever form in Hollywood.

The story goes that they had a script and were looking for a director. Stuart Cornfeld had loved Eraserhead and suggested him. Brooks watched that movie and loved it too.

Also reported that Anthony Hopkins, who played the doctor, clashed with Lynch on set.

@BigToe — I need you to watch Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, or Mulholland Drive and report back to me.

This gonna be good.
