RIP Thread

On one hand,
I loved his works
On the other....
Fuck you, you signed the Roman Polanski petition.

Reading this reminded of the time when Francis Ford Coppola raged at young Nathan Forest Winters, the boy who was molested by director Victor Salva, that he wouldn't work in Hollywood again. I believe Mary Steenburgen even came out to Salva's defense. Wouldn't surprise what else we don't know about these Hollywood elites.

At least she went out doing what she loved most.

It's my fault.

I watched his Dune last night, and my sheer hatred for the movie folded space like the Guild navigator, and killed him dead.

It should have gone to the real culprit for the movie being shit, Dino De Laurentiis, but he was already dead.

I'm sorry everyone.

Back in my early 20s when dealing with a lot of alienation issues and depression from being alone in a new city, I would get crossfaded and watch Eraserhead and later in life, I watched What Did Jack Do? and watched it late at night a lot to fall asleep.
Lynch's style of writing and directing and even his day-to-day dealing with his discomfort of life as well as his quirks was a big inspiration for my writing and preference in story elements.
I will miss this guy.

How prescient it feels that he warned of fire coming and when the inferno finally erupted, he passed away.

For those that don't care for sportsball (or live in Wisconsin), Uecker was also known for playing a caricature of himself in the 90s Major League baseball movie franchise with Charlie Sheen.

I mainly remember Bob Uecker for playing sportswriter George Owens and the father of the Owen household on the ABC sitcom Mr. Belvedere, a show which I enjoyed as a kid.

Full episode of Mr. Belvedere because I couldn't find a good clip of just Bob Uecker and Christopher Hewett (who played Mr. Belvedere) having a war of wits.

Spoiler: Mr. Belvedere s2e8

Yes, I also dislike that the uploader letterboxed a television show filmed in 4:3.for no good reason.

I'm not into sportsball so I know him best as the dad from Mr. Belvedere. One of the few shows that would get me and my brother to stop trying to kill each other for half an hour. I remember having to stand on top of an end table holding rabbit ear antennas in order to get a clear picture.

RIP David Lynch at 78

I saw Inland Empire once and was confused. I saw it again and was even more confused. I watched More Things That Happened and still felt confused. Thank you Mr. Lynch for twisting my brain into a pretzel like no other. And for some reason the one like that I always remember from Eraserhead is "Just like regular chickens".

Director Jeannot Szwarc, best known for directing the movie Jaws 2, died at the age of 85.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Damn. Lynch was one of my favorite directors. First movie of his I saw was Eraserhead and was hooked since. Twin Peaks is one of my all time favorite shows. He really was able to tap into that surreal, dreamlike quality without feeling like a pretentious “look how deep I am!” jackass.

RIP, legend

The Elephant Man was one of the most viscerally beautiful and profound movies of my young, film-going life. It will forever be with me❤

 

[Cat tit bingo]

It hurts but there no better way to celebrate an artist than viewing his art, got all my criterion and blurays ready. He might be gone but he'll be here forever.

 

[I was a Teenage “JA”-man]

Lynch was a true eccentric and individual, he didn’t just do the whole “be yourself aka be a little of yourself but mostly be normal” he went his own route throwing conventions out the window and looked cool doing it. He made some of the creepiest movies and didn’t even succumb to the genre. Pass through the red room king.

Best David Lynch thing, I saw this in the middle of the night, scared the shit out of me and thought I dreamed it:

I don't even really like baseball but my friends would have it on in the background and hearing Bob was always a treat.

 

[Pineapple Fox]

What a sad day, RIP to the legend that is David Lynch, his work always left a profound impression on me

Cheers, my wife and I have already started our memorial Lynch-a-thon.
