"Your feelings are valid" is the new "rest assured."

Both are a bunch of nothing.

David Lynch, who died last month at 78, was a director whose ability to combine the grotesque and the mundane has influenced a generation of artists. The Critics at Large hosts revisit Lynch’s landmark works and reflect on their resonance today.
David Lynch’s Unsolvable Puzzles
The late auteur, perhaps best known for “Twin Peaks,” “Mulholland Drive,” and “Blue Velvet,” left behind a body of work that resists interpretation—even as it demands it.

Some Mavs sportscasters sound like dumb shills especially in the face of one of the dumbest trades / business decisions / sucker punches in the history of mankind.

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

Edward Yang greatly admired David Lynch and thought Mulholland Drive was robbed of the Palme d'Or in 2001, the year he was on the Cannes jury. An anecdote from playwright Stan Lai reflecting on his friendship with Yang when the director passed away in 2007.

Honor David Lynch by being unapologetically weird, and wonderful, and not compromising your vision

David Lynch said that filmmaking should be fun & joyful. Of course it can be hard work. Of course the work itself can encompass all kinds of pain & painful truth. But the act of creation itself should be full of joy. I think about that all the time.

RIP David Lynch. You are immortal.

I do not post anything celebratory about the yearly bar results.

I want the passers to have their moment, and I don't like contributing to the noise for those who did not make it.
