Absolutely gutting. Few artists have influenced me as much as #DavidLynch. #Scarfolk, for example, couldn't have happened without his unique genius for revealing the dark, sometimes absurd, underbelly of small-town life. His final Twin Peaks season is some of the finest TV ever broadcast. RIP. - ThreadSky

I feel like Lynch on Lynch should be on the top.

torpa-music.bsky.social•41 days ago

Gutted. Lynch was my Bowie.

richardlittler.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yep, same, that's a good way of putting it.

notwibble.bsky.social•40 days ago

You should have put lynch on Lynch at the top.

bill39me.bsky.social•40 days ago

Kind of a toss-up as to lasting legacy - him or Uecker 🤣

thepowerdroid.bsky.social•40 days ago

I don't see "Dune"..............

richardlittler.bsky.social•40 days ago

I have a copy of the fan-made version which adds 40mins to the theatrical cut and reorders it according to Lynch's original vision.

The first Twin Peaks came out when I was in 6th form and I was banished to my Dad and Stepmum's bedroom to watch it on the tiny telly, the one with a coat hanger for an aerial. Fond memories. Loved all his stuff.

RIP

We've lost a true artist. It's desperately sad.

bootslover.bsky.social•41 days ago

Also "The Elephant Man" (1980)

estelleh.bsky.social•41 days ago

Absolutely. What an artist. Loved all of Twin Peaks The Return, but episode 8, fucking hell

misterscratch75.bsky.social•40 days ago

That last TP season isn't just TV, imho, it's just art-- it's almost guided meditation, it's a 16 hour movie, or the Sistine Chapel, or a Murakami novel, or a trip to a spa. Slowly drawing a (tipsy but heartfelt) tribute:

marshalltouchton.bsky.social•41 days ago

I don't see "Catching the Big Fish" in your stack. If you haven't read it yet, the audiobook is EXCELLENT. He reads it, and it's like sitting in a diner having a cup of coffee and slice of pie with him to listen to it.
It's SO GOOD.

Room to Dream is one of the best memoirs I’ve read. Such a creative format. I recommend it to everyone.

fiona-webster22.bsky.social•40 days ago

Great photo, Richard. I'm gutted, too. I wouldn't be half the artist & writer I am without him.

bwianair.bsky.social•41 days ago

Room to Dream is so good.

Eraserhead was always one of my favourite movies

mlorette.bsky.social•40 days ago

personally, he creeped me the fuck out!

hibernaculum.bsky.social•41 days ago

Watching the finest episode of the finest series right now.

222sally.bsky.social•41 days ago

In heaven, everything is fine;
You have your good things;
I have mine! [Girl in the Radiator, ERASERHEAD]

brixtonmc.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yes, hard agree. I started with Eraserhead and stayed for the ride. Weren’t we lucky to share his unique vision? And yes, totally get the Venn overlap with Scarfolk.

richardlittler.bsky.social•41 days ago

"In Heaven,
Everything is fine -
You got your good things,
And I got mine"

kevmarmol.bsky.social•41 days ago

I only watched this a few weeks back and it was a brilliant addition to the canon on his work.

I could never get into Twin Peaks which I regret because everybody seemed to love it at the time. Sorry David Lynch has passed, he brought a lot of pleasure to people. Condolences to his family and friends.

rozhall.online•41 days ago

I’ve just been looking through my copy of Lynch on Lynch again. Read it so many times at art school

holmfirthartist.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’m genuinely upset. He was a genius.

vegasgello.bsky.social•41 days ago

Rest In Peace

wellnessethic.bsky.social•41 days ago

A beautiful example of a person living their life on purpose. His love of film and the creative process was contagious.

emilyxdeann.bsky.social•41 days ago

I also buy them now, how many are exiting?

jancheta25.bsky.social•41 days ago

I hope you add The Straight Story to that stack. It was that movie that made me fall in love with David Lynch. It's such a beautiful, beautiful movie.

richardlittler.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes, I love that one. My copy is currently in storage. As is The Elephant Man
