Places I love in Malibu and in the Village are gone. I love Malibu so much. It’s sad to see what’s happening. Puts the quash on my LA visits for a while.

thanks for the updates MissouriMook

if anyone's using firefox, there's an extension called Darkreader that will apply a dark mode theme to this page while we wait for a proper dark mode setting

RIP to one of the modern noir masters, David Lynch

Thank you for Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet and the first season of Twin Peaks

I’m one of the few fans of his Dune effort, even if the theatrical release wasn’t the edit he wanted.

Wild at Heart also deserves a mention.

One little joyful moment from Twin Peaks: when Lynch makes a cameo as the hard of hearing FBI regional director. He has giant hearing aids. He’s visiting the diner and miraculously is able to hear the voice of one of the young waitresses perfectly. The innocent delight and flirting that follows that otherwise total non sequitur is a moment of contagious joy. It had nothing to do with anything else. The type of loving detail that David Lynch wove through his characters.

Lynch was a legend sorry to see that.

Another legend Bob Uecker passed today as well. He was hilarious in Major League and was a very good broadcaster irl as well.

Hopefully he is finally in the front row.

Still partial to 'Eraserhead'. 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me' damaged my brain and I will forever be grateful for that. Thanks, David Lynch!!

A guy I was acquainted with died as his house burned down along the PCH in Malibu. This guy knew just about every single person who hung out in Malibu.

That's some bad sugar.

Anyone here know about Celtic culture? Specifically, I'm curious about the concept of "Sith".

I'm reading a book right now about Celtic "mythology" and it is clear that Sith is a positive term, which means fairy or people of peace.

However, there is a Star Wars film called Revenge of the Sith, which is referring to a dark warrior class.

Kinda strange, no?

I emailed the author to get his opinion on this.

EDIT: The author wrote back to say that the Sith or Sidhe (pronounced ‘shee’) of Celtic folklore is different than the concept of the Sith in Star Wars.

As a side note, Siouxsie and The Banshees get their name from Sith.
