It never ceases to amaze me how many people professed their love and affection of David Lynch, and yet so willfully and happily contributed to his suffering. #maskup #covidisntover
He knifed Michael Ontkean (Sheriff Harry) in the back. He was ready to come back for the reboot but Lynch decided to cast the actor he originally had in mind, who was not available back then. So I’m pissed. Petty? Yes, but I don’t care.
One of few in the business who would have been welcomed into our home for a chinwag and a healthy meal. Mr. Lynch was much, much more than the sum of his films. A genius. An artist. And a
keen observer of the human condition.
And now we’ll never know what in the hell Eraserhead was actually about. I’m still not sure if I’ve seen it or just did some really bad bathtub acid in the early eighties.
I know, it was a general reaction to the loss of one of my generations most brilliant creative geniuses. My degree thesis was genre based, and the work of Lynch got shoe-horned into the piece wherever possible.
We should all aspire to live our lives in such a way that after our passing, even one person pays tribute to us the way Kyle MacLachlan has beautifully honored David Lynch.
I was lucky enough to be on the set with David & Kyle while David taught Kyle to talk & act with spittle in his mouth. showing how much he wanted to know a secret.
My daughter, a clothing designer, revered Lynch and themed her shop around Twin Peaks. Even though her store is close to the Eaton fire and business has nearly died, she’s giving clothes away to those who lost their homes. https://www.instagram.com/haleysolar?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==
His Paul Atreides was brillant. He played the perfect combo of charisma, cynicism and innocence. But I must admit I Ioved Lynch's Dune. And Lynch's work. Even Inland Empire which was like diving into someone else's dreams.

He will never be replaced, but will always be missed!
Both of them impacted the industry beyond measure.
