Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Like Ple, I saw the writing on the wall with Lynch's post last year about his emphysema. Having watched it with my FiL I knew his path.
I'm enough of a Lynch fan that I still regret not getting the TV Pilot version of Mulholland Drive at Kim's Video when it was originally conceived as the beginning of a series like Twin Peaks.
I saw Eraserhead on film (the only option then) at a theater. I saw Blue Velvet in its first scandalous release. Saw The Elephant Man and Dune in their theatrical releases. Wild at Heart.
Watched Twin Peaks from its first episode to its last as it aired.
I have an anthology of stories written in the Lynchian universes and style.
Own and have read Lynch's memoir (which is fantastic) and seen his documentary (The Art Life).
Saw a show at Sketchfest last year with the Red Room Orchestra play the music of Twin Peaks with Kyle McLachan and Carl Struycken (the Giant on Twin Peaks) performing.
Yet I would not consider myself a Lynch super fan.
He has, though, completely shaped my visual sense, my cinematic aesthetic, just so much of my cultural intake.

-t is me with regard to Lynch. I loved Twin Peaks, and enjoyed Dune and Wild at Heart, but Lost Highway was not my jam, and Eraserhead was so disturbing to me that it may have put me off seeing his other movies. (I keep intending to watch Mulholland Drive, but am never actually in the mood to do so.)

Some of you may remember David Ehrenstein from Salon/World Crossing. He was a member of one of my other groups, so I heard that he had passed away earlier this week - [link] Admittedly, he was not one of my favorite people, but part of me mourns the loss of one of the old school Salon folks.

I'd heard the news, and seen it pointed out that no newspapers or other credible news sources had picked up the story as of late this afternoon. Which gives me the mental image of a ouija board angrily venting outrage in all caps at newspaper columnists.

Not to be shady, but is his death news to a credible news organization? Would it be reported?

Maybe not. I understand his partner passed away a couple of years ago, so there might not be anyone with a clear responsibility to contact any of the places that featured his work in the past.

You are always welcome, erikaj!
I love SWN. One of the few noirs that played on TV as a kid. Reading your perspective on it makes me realize it would make a good double feature with KIMI.
