David Lynch

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Director, writer, and filmmaker passed away today.
I’m not sure how to assess his career. Admittedly, I didn’t watch a lot of his films. I was “forced” to sit through the 1984 version of “Dune” with a girlfriend. It was excruciating. I would rank it as one of the worst films ever made.
I tried watching “Mulholland Drive” and “Wild at Heart” but quickly grew bored and gave up.
Yet, “Twin Peaks”, for all its weirdness was groundbreaking television and can be considered a classic. I loved it.
RIP

R. I. P. David Lynch
This lion has no idea why Skifredo is rambling about 1984 (or !984). There have been three film adaptations of 1984, not of which were directed by Lynch.
Perhaps Fredo though Motörhead’s statement about the 1984 version of “Dune” had something to do with “!984”. Perhaps Fredo is the Eraserhead baby all grown up. Who knows? ROAR!!!
Dennis Hopper wrote the book on crazy in that one plus in River's Edge made the same year by another director .
Although flawed, I think both were great movies where Hopper stole the scenes he was in.
