David Lynch has died aged 78

Twin Peaks Season 3 was as good as it got for me. I love Season 1, and I think season 2 is OK. Fire Walk With Me is still one of my favorite made for TV movies.
Season 3 from 2017 was amazing. I was glued to every episode. Glad Lynch made it before he died. David Lynch's youtube channel was amazing. With his weather reports and lucky numbers.

I love this movie and this scene in particular very much:



Also watched Blue Velvet just awhile ago and this scene was brilliantly unsettling:



edit: whole ride scene from Blue Velvet is so great especially with that music and Dennis Hopper is insanely good in tthat movie

I had a dream. In fact, it was the night I met you. In the dream, there was our world, and the world was dark because there weren't any robins and the robins represented love. And for the longest time, there was just this darkness. And all of a sudden, thousands of robins were set free, and they flew down and brought this blinding light of love. And it seemed like that love would be the only thing that would make any difference. And it did. So, I guess it means there is trouble 'til the robins come.

For all the more famous lines to come from his work, this monologue from Blue Velvet, delivered by the absolutely luminous Laura Dern and accompanied by Angelo Badalamenti's soulful score, is the purest expression of hope I think I've ever seen. From anyone else this sort of thing could be unbearably saccharine, but Lynch wrote it (and Dern delivers) with such matter-of-fact sincerity, and the imagery is so evocatively simple, that it glides over any pitfalls of irony, naivety or kitsch to become a profoundly beautiful expression of love transcending above evil. Many amazing people have died over the years and in the moment felt like a huge loss, yet Lynch was so unique, eccentric and wholehearted in his vision that my first feeling (aside from surprise, since it really did seem to come out of the blue) was of gratitude that there existed someone to put this out into the world.

I don't think anyone else could create a totally alien and weird humanity like lynch did. I mean, it's twenty thousand years from now, of course it's gonna be a bit odd. 🤣
I love Lynch as much as anyone in here, but Jodorowsky's DUNE would've out-weirded anything Lynch could ever make.
