"I hear and read the word 'visionary' a lot these days-it's become a kind of catch-all description, another piece of promotional language. But David Lynch really was a visionary- in fact, the word could have been invented to describe the man and the films, the series, the images and the sounds he left behind. He created forms that seemed like they were right on the edge of falling apart but somehow never did. He put images on the screen unlike anything that I or anybody else had ever seen-he made evarythin strange, uncanny, revelatory and new. And he was absolutely uncompromising, from start to finish. It's a sad, sad day for moviemakers, movie lovers, and for the art of cinema. But Eraserhead, The Elephant Man,' 'Blue Velvet, 'Wild at Heart,' the two 'Twin Peaks' series and the film Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, 'The Straight Story, 'Mulholland Drive, 'Inland Empire'.. as the years and the decades go by, they will just keep growing and deepening. We were lucky to have had David Lynch. MARTIN SCORSESE black and white photo of david lynch listening intently to martin scorsese at some sort of awards or formal function

The Ohio Supreme Court has nullified the $650 million judgement that multiple counties won against Big Pharma over the opioid crisis.

The court ruled that the state's product liability law prohibits counties from bringing public nuisance claims against pharma corporations.
