David Lynch passes away at the age of 78

[Ray.]

Famous for directing surreal classics like Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and the TV series Twin Peaks.

Sometime last year he'd been diagnosed with emphysema and was carrying around an oxygen tank. Also had to evacuate his home because of the LA fires and many are assuming it was too big of a strain for him.

One of the very best directors ever. And creator of Twin Peaks, a series I was obsessed with growing up.

Yikes!:umm2:

But obviously it's a sad day for his friends and family, and obviously I wouldn't wish death on most people in this world, so I do feel for him too.

RIP

They're his legacy that he has left on the entertainment industry.

That's the way you should see it, they'll be spoken about decades from now.

People throw around "unique" a lot these days but Lynch really was. A true one off whose work really makes you think and famously splits opinion.

His work is so varied in terms of subject matter and also genre, it's hard to define his body of work. I know he falls into "horror" most of the time but he's kind of a bit of everything. Mystery, sci-fi, dark comedy, arthouse.

Even in the literal nightmare that is Mulholland Drive there's elements of fantasy and old Hollywood romance, not to mention the fact that Wild at Heart is basically am extreme, violent reimagining of The Wizard of Oz in many ways.

There'll never be another. RIP.

He always reminded me of Stan Laurel.
