goodbye david lynch

[@cinemalover2009]

Rip to one of the coolest weird guys ever.

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

Am I the only one that unironically thinks the man wasn't weird? It was just his artistic persona but some stuff over the years lets you see he actually loved really nice simple stuff · Many of his works are ANTI-adventure, against unnecessary conflict/danger · He openly loved sweets (donuts, malts, etc) · There's footage of him reading titty magazines and the way he scrolls through the pages it's obvious he was also eyeing the ladies · "The Straight Story" is basically about a dude that gets into a lot of trouble because he didn't ask for help. "250-mile car ride with a friend, relative or even a taxi? Fuck that, I'm gonna craft a whole mower+trailer thingy so I can do it in like 10 days while cars are constantly almost killing me and while battling the elements". Is there anything more "guy's guy" thingy than getting yourself in deep shit because you didn't ask for help? · His Family Guy cameo is also a clear sign that he found his "artistic persona" hilarious Lynch was one of the lads for sure. That man wasn't some artist deep in his own ass, he just loved trying to convey some very simple beautiful concepts through visuals and plot rather than through a dumbass TED Talk.

Look up David lynch woody wood pecker, or David lynch dead cat he was definitely a weird guy lol. Nothing wrong with that, he seemed cool and made great art but he was definitely strange.

[@gashyrawr]

@@DiegoRuiz1991 Yeah, from what I've seen from his interviews or his quotes/opinions, he was a really down to earth and positive minded guy and never trying to be above it all or weird for the sake or weird or artsy or anything like that.

the episode with the long nuclear bomb explosion shot (might be 8? can’t recall off hand), it might be my favorite live action media in any artistic medium ever not something I can watch all the time, but when I’m in the mood it takes me places mentally like nothing else

[@TerriblethingTube]

@magneto44 i completely agree. That episode in particular is the most lynchian lynch that has ever lynched and its so beautiful and terrifying and breathtaking and brilliant and confusing and yet somehow makes perfect sense. It is filmmaking used to its fullest effect, a combination of sounds and images that conjures something within you that was always there but you were never quite aware of, and even after you are made aware you still dont know what it is. An absolute masterpiece in a season of masterpieces. 'This is the water and this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes and the dark within.'❤️❤️❤️💀💀💀❤️❤️❤️

He was so loyal to his core cast and crew. Not just as "hat tricks," but as actors he loved and supported through thick and thin. The man sat on a curb with a cow to voice his love for the work of Laura Dern. Not many around like that.

[@arbyswitch5580]

The way he added the Laura Palmer homecoming queen photograph to the credits sequence for Twin Peaks: the Return so Sheryl Lee got residual checks for every episode (she was dealing with health issues at the time) he was a very generous and sincere person. He will be missed.

[@thezachmarsh]

My favourite Lynch is Blue Velvet, but the one that I've been thinking about for the past 24 hours is The Straight Story. It's the same optimism and heart that all of his films have - ALL of them, even the most disturbing or erotic ones like Mulholland - but with nearly all of David's stylistic and sensory trappings stripped away. I think it's the most vital film of his to watch if you want to most easily understand what he wanted to say as an artist, as a filmmaker, as a storyteller, as the human being we lost yesterday. I never knew him, but I loved him.

[@FallenKnight2244]

Just finished The Straight Story for the first time. Weirdly a perfect film to watch after David Lynch's passing. To see the protagonist Alvin embracing his old age, reflecting on his past and his guilts, sharing his insights with others, I feel like I'm watching David Lynch channeling through this character, speaking to me. RIP the singular David Lynch. U will be forever remembered.

[@LadyTylerBioRodriguez]

That film always meant a lot to me. My grandpa was from Iowa and actually remembered when Alvin Straight did his famous journey. He actually lived close to the bridge that appears near the end of the film. Also my grandpa had a falling out with his brother and only put it all aside in the last year of his life. It's such a sweet film, which at first you'd say no thats not Lynchs style. I don't know, I think on some level it is.

[@magneto44]

one of the great classic family movies that will hold up long as people still watch movies, am incredible human piece of art

I never watched a David Lynch film, but as someone who's listened to the guy's music (specifically I'm Waiting Here), it's a damn shame we've lost him. I have always wanted to watch his films since their weird, surrealist style looks like something I'd enjoy, and now that he's gone, I feel even more inclined to watch them and keep his legacy going. It feels like the world got a bit dimmer as yet another star has gone out. We'll miss you, David Lynch. May you rest in peace.

[@fredrikfredrikfredrik]

In some ways it's similar to the story of Orson Welles. Welles was consistently getting into trouble with Hollywood execs due to creative differences. They re-cut many of his films before release and eventually stopped working with him entirely. In the end, no one in Hollywood wanted to give the man a single dollar despite having created some real masterpieces over his 40 year career. His last film, The Other Side of the Wind, had to be funded by Iranian royalty (which you can learn more about in the Netflix documentary They'll Love Me When I'm Dead). The film was, along with many other works, never finished in his lifetime

[@LaBooF42]

Man… This one hit me. Saddens me that there won’t ever be another piece of art from Lynch, but I find solace in the plethora of art he’s put into the world. No one is like him, and he will be remembered as the surrealistic, creative, (good) weird master he was.

It has been 24 hours since he died now and I just can't believe it. I be going through my day and like every hour I just stop what I'm doing and think to myself like I ACTUALLY can't believe he's not with us anymore. He was one of a kind, great human soul that peaked behind the courtain of counsciousness and brought some of it for us on screen to share. He will be sorely missed.

So touching and sincere and really encapsulates what I love about Lynch Definitely need to rewatch Eraserhead and also excited to visit Inland Empire and The Straight Story for the first time, probably gonna do a whole chronological rewatch this year.

[@corbinmarkey466]

Along with two of his movies, I've never seen the entirety of Twin Peaks, only the first few episodes. I've had the entire boxset sitting patiently as I finished a couple different shows, slowly working my way up to it. So as you can guess, the time has pretty much come.

He's one of my favorite filmmakers. It took me years to realize it, but after I finished rewatching Twin Peaks several years ago, it dawned on me, just how important he was to me. I see his work in so many other media I digest because he really was a trailblazer and in ways you wouldn't realize. David Lynch, the man, may have passed, but his name is forever.

[@unrealistic5462]

I watched Lost Highway after the news of David Lynch passing, and I really felt it in my heart this time even more than before. Brilliant film.

[@Shinyshoesz]

It was truly an honor to share this Earth with someone like David. He'll be sorely, sorely missed and I'm really happy that so many folks I didn't even know were fans felt the same way. Twin Peaks, as fucked up as it is, is probably one of my favorite and most impactful series' of my life. His films/shows are nothing short of mystical. I know it's corny, but -- he was truly one of one. I love him so much and I hope he's dreaming up things in the great beyond. I ALSO love that scene. I broke down crying when that came on. It was so sudden and so pure and hit me like a ton of bricks. Incredible even more so in the return when Bobby is living a life of harmony and is now on the other side of the law like his father foresaw.

[@TPJN777]

Thank you for this video. You're the only (first I've seen) KZbinr that's mentioned the passing of this most important American Auter. It's such a loss that he's gone.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

I only really dove into Lynch's work 13-14 months ago. I played Remedy's "Alan Wake 2", and thought that it was about time that I checked out Lynch's work as it was a HUGE influence on Sam Lake (writer and director over at Remedy, Max Payne's face in the first game). Twin Peaks, especially. And man, am I glad I checked his work out. He became VERY influential and inspirational for me very fast. While I don't love all of his work equally, I still find so much to love and appreciate in them. Him speaking about not feeling pressured to explain your art, having the courage to just MAKE STUFF, and to create from a place of love and empathy and joy... All of this REALLY spoke to me. Twin Peaks (S1-2, Fire Walk with Me, The Return), Eraserhead, and Lost Highway are prob my absolute favorites from him. I'm sure a rewatch of Mulholland Drive would put it up here, too. I still haven't seen Dune, Wild at Heart, and Inland Empire. I don't think I will for a while. I wanna cherish having these last 3 movies stay unseen for a bit. RIP to an absolute GIANT of an artist.

[@SamFreelancePolice]

Man that exact scene with Major Briggs and Bobby is my absolute favourite in Twin Peaks too... moves me to tears every time, it's so beautiful and seemingly out of nowhere. just beautiful

[@BogBagBobble]

I went from truly gutted to joyful within a few hours of hearing the news upon realising just how cherished and beloved he is by so many MILLIONS of people. We were lucky to walk the same plane as Mr Lynch, and to me, that is so so SO lucky. That scene between Major Briggs and Bobby you alluded to is so beautiful, I always think about the moment during The Return when Bobby walks in and sees Laura's portrait, and all those memories rush back. Thank you for the thoughtful videos, Mr. Carrying Thing and congratulations on your baby, I hope the experience doesn't drive you to create an industrial nightmare film partially inspired by anxieties of fatherhood!

[@raoulduke2924]

Mulholland Drive is the only movie I've ever finished and then immediately went back to the beginning and watched it a second time on the spot. The diner scene, Club Silencio, the cowboy, the ending, its just so haunting and emotive with enough meat to inspire a dozen rewatches where you find new things on every go around. I rarely actually feel true sorrow with the death of a celebrity, they are always tragic but it rarely touches me personally in that way. I'm actually sad at the death of an artist such as David Lynch. May his family be well and his work live on forever.

[@Ogaitnas900]

It hit me too, he was important to me as a young guy in my teens and 20s. I love his movies but besides that the way he talked about creativity with so much positivity and openness was very inspiring to me not just in art but life in general. I'm moved by the warmth and scale of people's reactions to the sad news, you can tell he was well loved.

[@74gould]

Back in the early ‘90s, “Wild at Heart” was my first Lynch experience (& my first Nicolas Cage experience!) and it completely blew my mind. It was so unlike anything I’d seen before… Since then, I’ve watched almost everything Lynch has made (& Cage!) and he was truly one of a kind. A mad genius in the best possible way. 🖤

Going from watching David's weird and strange stuff to watching Elephant Man really revealed to me that there's so much depth to the things he's created because Elephant Man has so much heart to it. I found myself tearing up on many scenes, each more emotional than the last.

This is one of the few times where I actually felt different after someone I didn't know personally has died. He was one of my favorite public figures, not only as an artist, but I've modeled a lot of my own self improvement on the way Lynch lived his life. There's a video of him talking about why he eats the same thing everyday, and for whatever reason it was very impactful for me. Its so hard for me to be creative and also stay present and mentally aware of my other habits and how healthy they are. I feel like the best thing I ever learned from him is that the more ingrained your healthy habits are, the more free your mind is to wander and explore.

I think I've read hundreds since yesterday, and only two were negative. I cried a couple of times yesterday. I'm old enough to remember the day Elvis died, and Lennon, and Cobain. I understood why people cried on those days, but they didn't shake me to my core. I read a comment somewhere where someone said it never even occurred to them that Lynch COULD die. I think I felt the same way, as so many of the Twin Peaks cast had passed and Lynch just kept on going. Such a sadness.

[@dotapark]

What gives me somewhat of comfort is that, with his belief, he might finally got back to unifying field. The place that he always took inspirations from. Maybe he's happy to be there, enjoying all the ideas, giving people on earth those ideas. Rest in peace David Lynch.

I first saw Mulholland Drive when I was like 14 and it completely changed my view on what movies could be.

I'd seen Dune before and was somewhat baffled by it. But it was catching the episode of Twin Peaks where cooper his throwing rocks while someone reads names of a blackboard that grabbed me. I fell in love with Twin Peaks and then with Lynch generally. I've said this a lot, but Twin Peaks, going back and re-watching Twin Peaks, made me feel like I'd found my true home in a way my physical home never was. Lost Highway, which was also his first film that I was able to see on the big screen (I grew up in a very small town that didn't get much outside of the top 6 or 8 movies at the megaplex). It became and remains my favorite of his films. It always felt like he was out there making art that was just for me, and I'll miss that.

[@pricesmith8450]

thank you. His death has to be one of the most bittersweet and surreal things I've felt in a while on this scale. The deep and genuine reactions seen, heard, felt, and shared by everyone who's been touched by his work, his example, his wisdom, has to be one of the most gentle and sweet and authentic cultural phenomonons I've experienced, And I'm grateful to everyone else for sharing something that truly meant so much to them.

[@pricesmith8450]

and thank you for picking up on the intricacies of the feel of a much needed collective experience of pain, uncertainty and gratitude coexisting, by no other than an artist who constantly reminded us that none of these things exist in a vacuum, and it's ok to experience all of it and still be human. Or still be consciousness, if you want to TM about it, which I personally resonate with.

Lynch was like everyone's estranged, passionate grandfather. You wouldn't see him often but you'd always hear stories. He'd send you the most unique and memorable birthday and Christmas presents, and even though they were odd, you'd treasure them more than anything else. He would talk to himself at a bus stop and even though everyone else thought he was strange, he'd look at you and smirk to let you know you're in on the joke too. Bye Mr. Lynch. I hope your post-life travels take you to worlds beyond imagination.

It was only a few weeks, maybe even a few days ago that we got the news that David had been evacuated and was safe out of LA. The messages that Kale (Kyle Maclachlan, Kale was David's nickname for him) and Naomi Watts put out were beautiful however.

i think i really took him for granted for some reason, part of the reason him and his work brought me so much joy was somehow because i could still take comfort in the fact that this person i looked up to was still around, still painting works in his studio with his daughter every morning, still loving coffee, still breathing. i watched the art life and this mystery, this strange persona that the media and he himself to an extent had conjured up had disappeared, and it felt like having a conversation with a new friend. i later read a review about him and laura palmer, her as still some sort of caricature manifested from male-gaze regardless, and i learned about all that weird shit with him and roman polanski, and all that weird stuff with his past wives. hes not perfect, we dont know anything about him and what hes done in his personal life, but i really dont know i didnt know im going to miss him this much thought gang and julee cruise will be dropping their new collab album forever, who else is hyped?

One of my favourite all time movie scenes is from Blue Velvet, when Ben lip syncs "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison into a light. Lynch's surrealist style obviously wasn't for everyone but I've heard nothing but nice things about the man himself.

I've been talking to my spouse a lot about David Lynch since his passing. before, they always chuckled at his kooky turns of phrase, the stuff people have made memes about. but I also started sharing some of his thoughts on art and film, and they finally seemed genuinely enthusiastic at the idea of watching Twin Peaks, so that's what we will be doing over the next few weeks. watching the entire series and Fire Walk With Me. I'm very excited because I've never finished season 2 or watched the return or even the film, so sharing it all with the love of my life will be a treat.

I was actually watching that exact clip ''My Son Was Standing There'' a few hours before I got the news of his passing, there's sometimes a strange connection with these things. Hope you enjoy the rest of his work you haven't watched yet, all super solid stuff. I'm also glad that The Return seems to start getting a bit more praise from people - I also agree that it's his magnum opus.

Thank you for that candid video. His passing has been hard. I agree *Twin Peaks The Return* is his extended masterpiece. One things to share is that *Inland Empire* is back on the Criterion Channel…well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it.

[@brokendoorknob3448]

it's incredible to see how many people his art has touched so deeply. he is, present tense, one of the most unique, visionary, and gifted artists of any medium. beautiful to hear about your experience with him. i think his work, like a lot of art, goes in all directions, everywhere, and will continue to forever. we are simply lucky to have experienced what he made and i am happy that people will always continue to do so. he said in his last post that he is "filled with happiness." i hope that was true till the very last moment.

I just started getting into his movies just a few months ago. As bummed as I am now I can’t imagine the people who have been rewatching his work for decades.

[@mdihero]

in honor of him, not watching this on my fucking telephone.

[@blakereimbold635]

It’s been relieving in a way to see so many people who never met Lynch be so affected by his passing. It makes me feel less weird about caring so much about somebody I never knew passing away. Just rewatched Fire Walk with Me, and the last 30 minutes had me in a steady stream of tears. Going to be watching Wild at Heart next, the only film of his I haven’t seen yet.

[@PeculiarNotions]

That scene you link to is excellent. Thank you for sharing it.
