David Lynch

[man in the corner shop]

I was looking at his Filmography this morning and surprised by how unprolific he was - which given his legendary status probably tells you all you need to know about his genius.

I've realised I've only seen 3 of his films: Eraserhead (a deeply disturbing taste of what was to come), the beautiful and sensitive treatment of The Elephant Man and Wild At Heart. I aim to watch Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive in the coming weeks, long overdue.

But for me, I'll always remember him for the Twin Peaks TV series, truly a landmark series. Weird and wonderful. RIP David

Do the straight story - the cinematography is amazing and Freddie Francis won a few awards for it.

Without Eraserhead we'd have never had E.T.

And I wouldn't have an Avatar!
RIP

David Lynch is part of a small fratenity of famous people who, when he dies, despite his enormous body of artistic & financial achievement, the very first thing everyone says is: he was so kind. What a good, kind man.

His work speaks for itself.
