"Does anyone have experience owning a rat or mouse as a pet?"
"Said I'm odd because of the books and art and movies and music I like (not even niche or esoteric, just like Joni Mitchell and Mazzy Star and David Lynch etc)"
"giving David Lynch the slurp slurp"
"You can still post as many early 2000s celebrities and David Lynch screencaps as you like, but think of interesting titles for them (and if you can't do that just say what they are)."
"David Lynch was on the money when he said he loves daydreaming. I'll go to a park, read a bit of a book, and get lost in thought. It's an infinitely better way to pass time than scrolling on my phone."
"Honestly ever since the pandemic started I've had so many weird and terrifying encounters. On one hand it is pretty sad because there's a lot of people having a hard time, but most of my bad encounters have been with people who have some amount of wealth, likely mostly the middle class people."
"He signed the Polanski petition. His fourth wife is 30+ years younger than him and they had a child when he was in his late sixties. He makes the types of films that get accused of fetishising women's suffering, not to mention the lesbian stuff in Mulholland Drive. His nepo baby daughter made one of"
"I don't know how many more early-30's "d*des rock steely dan david lynch simpsons s1-s10 cormac mccarthy letterboxd" guys I can meet. They're all over the industry I work in, and they're both deeply un-self aware and have a weird superiority complex, mostly connected to a perceived superiority of th"
"The Business type foreigners who frequent Shanghai and Guangzhou aren't gonna vibe well with RS users and smaller cities offer more chances for Lynchian liminal experiences with Chinese randos and unhinged foreigner stories."
"We blew through my boilerplate questions in 5 minutes, and then he spent the next 10 minutes telling me that I should really try transcendental meditation and that he learned about it through David Lynch and it changed his life."
"I'm trying to work out why this is, and in the case of both the original Blade Runner and Lynch's Dune, I think they both managed to convey depictions of strange worlds that were simultaneously whimsical and sinister."
"I've been thinking about David Lynch and his simple enjoyment of things like diner coffee or the occasional soft drink. And I've just eaten Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream for the first time in my life at age 42 and, yeah, it's that good."
"I've liked Lynch's other work (Twin Peaks S3, Lost Highway), but this really felt like a perfect culmination of all of his ideas."
"This and the David Lynch news make for my most tragic week in years."
"Until recently, the only David Lynch movie I've ever seen was Blue Velvet. A chain theater near me (ok, yes, the Alamo Drafthouse) has been screening all of his movies, so I signed up for a monthly pass in order to watch them. Let me repeat this: I've only previously seen Blue Velvet, and this was o"
"the films, whatever, the response to the films would be about the same. but the little cult of personality around him would never have formed. it's the hair dude."
"I don't care if films operate under the logic of the real world, and I like the surrealism/magical realism of people like Lynch, Kaufman and Apichatpong, but I tend to check out whenever I sense that a piece of media needs me to pay attention to its 'worldbuilding' at the start."
"This sub will kill me but I think Lynch is a bit overrated. Probably, not the most overrated though honestly."
"January 2016 David Bowie dies. January 2024 David Lynch dies. This is more than a coincidence. He kills a new artistic David every inauguration in as a sacrifice."
"The Los Angeles Reader published comic strips by both David Lynch and Matt Groening."
"Halfway through S2 now. I think there's like 3 characters so far out of the primary/secondary cast that aren't either incredibly handsome or drop dead gorgeous. How did David Lynch find all these people??"
"We walked by a strip club and did not go in -- it was the scariest thing I think I've ever seen/felt in terms of a vibe. (Like what Lynch achieves in his films)"
"Los Angeles burning. AI slowly taking over and replacing artistry, all the biggest box office hits last year were franchise sequelslop, even the good movies/oscarbait were mid (Conclave, Anora). David Lynch, patron saint of mainstream cinema's dark dreamworld, has passed away."
"They literally refused to finance any of David Lynch's projects before his death. I watched Twin Peaks for the first time recently (the first two seasons, Fire Walk with Me, Missing Pieces and of course The Return, which was a masterpiece especially Episode 8)."
"Obviously Lynch's magnum opus, one of the most existentially terrifying things I've ever watched although it took me a second rewatch to truly appreciate it."
"I have to say the streaming business did our man dirty. He had a couple of projects he just couldn't get off the ground. Netflix cancelled his projects twice while pumping $200 million in more AI slop and The Rock/Kevin Reynolds star vehicle abomination. So we got nothing from this beautiful man in "
"Preliminary categories: Movie featuring a socialite or reality tv star, movie featuring a model turned actress, movie with a less than 3 lb rating, movie with a less than 2 lb rating, movie starring Karen Black, movie starring Barbara Steele, movie with an actor before they were famous, movie from t"
"I browse the dream version of this sub when I sleep and then post what I see there on the real-sub the following day. Sorry to all the realitycels but the dream version of the sub is far superior and is currently in its good era."
"It happened first on a mountaintop in New Mexico and I felt like I was a blonde in a Hitchcock or Lynch film."
"Twin Peaks is one of my top 5 pieces of media of all time, but the 'at your house' scene from Lost Highway edges out the Winkie's diner scene and a ton of Black Lodge moments as my personal creepiest moment from Lynch's works."
"David Foster Wallace once wrote a piece about David Lynch. In the piece, he coined a new term: "Lynchian". Wallace described a Lynchian tone as "the unbelievably grotesque existing in a kind of union with the unbelievably banal.""
"points in favor: * explicitly pro David Lynch"
"R.I.P. David. This is the first song I danced to with my current GF. His work has been so foundational to me. This death hurts."
"I'm not generally a big acting geek but what he did through The Return was stunning. He really is the perfect anchor for David Lynch."
"We all know that David Lynch wanted to do a few projects after The Return that were rejected by streaming services. This is somebody who had *decades* of landmarks in cinema. He's the one who kickstarted television becoming an actual artform for fuck's sakes. Yet he was rejected by the corporate typ"
"I always get a strong bullshit feeling from both David Lynch and Slavoj Zizek. Pretty sure both of those dudes are consciously playing up at least 50% of their weirdness for attention. Too much "strain at paradox" for me, anyone else this applies to?"
"I want my life to be a Helmut photo. Peep Lynch and Rossellini on slide 3"
"I think it was Lynch who said that consciousness is like a lens: if you have a lot of it, your ability to see increases; if you have little of it, your perspective is limited."
"Pretty amusing that Lynch saw a random set dresser, was like 'fuck that guy looks scary' and suddenly he gets turned into one of the most iconic villains of television history. I get why Lynch never recasted or even used Ray Wise as a new 'face' for BOB, very hard to replace that mug."
"after watching it I read that it was a big inspiration for David Lynch and that definitely comes through in retrospect"
"Merry Christmas, and God bless us, every one!!! 🎄🕊️❤️❤️🕊️❤️❤️🕊️🎄"
"And if youuuuu can believe it! It's a Friday once again!"
"I generally hate science fiction, don't know the book and never saw the Lynch film."
"i can sense David Lynch's rotting lesbian corpse emanating an intense and undeniable disdain for me having acknowledged this"
"I think the segment represents the effect of the nuclear bomb on the collective psyche. The detonation of the nuke reveals the horror of the human subconscious to itself, creating Bob/Judy/Whatever as a personification of that deep seeded evil."
"I love how, compared to e.g. Lynch, completely open and transparent Tarkovsky is about his thought process. No interest at all in artificially keeping the enigma going."
"I actually loved it like most people that watched it but I'm interested in any hot takes anybody has because I think people in these online places usually just agree that David Lynch is great and a genius and never really honestly review his work at all"
"maybe it was the french, like mulholland drive -- which was a television show axed by abc, as wisteria was canceled by netflix; canal plus swept in and produced what we know as the feature. hence its form (the pilot ended with the camera going into the box). the new film stars laura dern and a 'host"
"A plea to the people obsessed with vintage aesthetics here. Obviously don't be fat. But don't smoke either, and for the love of god don't mix both. Stop glamourising it, you're not David Lynch."
"I am cool like you guys. I like David Lynch and shit. I think smoking is based and I hate fat people."
