Farewell, David Lynch. I knew it wouldn't be long after his comments last year about how bad his lung health had become, but it still feels too soon.
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Oh, sad!
My fondness for Lynch is maybe more theoretical than actual practice of seeing his stuff. I always enjoyed hearing about what he was doing but have sampled his movies more than chased them all down. But, boy, Twin Peaks got into my psyche. From the premier, watching this strange new show with a few of the people that stayed in the one dorm room that had a TV after the Simpsons crowd cleared, listening to the soundtrack constantly, pouring over Laura Palmer's Diary and discussing it with coworkers at the movie theater. I still remember some article somewhere with an interview where he talked about how delighted he was to play with the concepts of ad time and maybe movie theaters should interrupt screenings to sell doughnuts. What a wonderful weirdo.
I'll always remember when DH and I would yell Pabst Blue Ribbon at each other at, like, hipster burrito places that served it as an homage to Blue Velvet and our friends had no idea what we were on about, they were drinking the PBR because it was $1 a can.
