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.

An auteur's auteur.

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.

What? No. That makes no sense

 

[Beef Invictus]

What the hell? Brooks did produce that. But....why???

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.

Was elephant man with Cher? I saw part of it as a young kid and thought it looked stupid so I left the room. I was probably @Striiker ’s age

That's a different movie about a different guy called Mask.

It’s probably staying forever, but at least you look handsome now.

Can't forget to mention a big 5-4 overtime win for @VladDrag and myself last night. Went down 2-0 and battled back for the W

 

[Flybynite]

Sucks that the last game Bob Uecker called was the Devin Williams 9th inning melt-down turning a 2-0 Brewers lead and potentially series win into a 4-2 loss after giving up a 3-run homer to Pete Alonso.

I finally got my dark mode back, so that's nice.

How? I still need sunglasses to reduce the glare of the white screen
