when did the day with all its light turn into night?
when all the world seemed to sing
why, why did you go?
was it me? was it you?
questions in a world of blue
thank you for everything, David. 💔
“never. oh, never. nothing will die. the stream flows, the wind blows, the cloud fleets, the heart beats. nothing will die.”
it’s still hard for me to find the right words for how much Lynch’s ing has affected me. my favorite filmmaker, the single most important artist in my life. his work means the entire world to me for so many reasons, and just one of those is the beating heart of sincerity and comion that lies at the core of so much of his work. how lucky we were to have someone as kind and empathetic as him. i miss him so much.
The saddest, most devastating movie ever made. Don’t think I’ll ever fully have the words to describe how this movie affects me. It hurts so much to watch, and yet it’s imbued with endless amounts of empathy and humanity despite how horrifying and crushing it is. I feel every single second of Laura’s pain. Surrounded by a town of people who love her but don’t truly know her, holding on to trauma that no person should ever have to hold…
My favorite movie. There’s just nothing else that makes me feel the way this does. It engages me, haunts me, moves me, mystifies me like no other film. It’s been talked about to death, and yet it’s still possible to get lost for hours exploring the depths of this. Choosing to believe in a constructed dream world because it’s too painful to face reality. Fucking devastating. What else can I even say? Naomi Watts just crushes me every time in…
[Seasons 1 + 2]
The collected Twin Peaks is forever and always my favorite work of art in any medium. Even with the rough patch in the middle of season 2, I still can’t give it anything less than a perfect rating. Lynch would ascend to even greater heights in FWWM and The Return, but there’s still nothing quite like the original series. For me, this is the definitive exploration of grief and its ripple effects across an entire community.…
Finally corrected one of my only remaining Lynch blindspots. One of the most deliriously entertaining of all his works, even if it’s also a little messier than his absolute best. As wonderfully eccentric, deranged, and wildly unpredictable as you’d expect. So many memorable scenes and performances. Cage and Lynch are an absurdly perfect match for each other’s wavelengths, Dern is at her career best, and Dafoe gives what has to be one of the creepiest performances I’ve ever seen. An all-timer of an end credits sequence, too. Loved this.
