I didn’t see a single work of his that I didn’t walk away regretting that time spent. I know a lot of people fawn over his creations, but they weren’t for me.
Would’ve been interesting to see Mulholland drive as a television series, as a movie there was too much concept into too little space, but I honestly think he preferred it that way.
Completely agree. Everyone loves to credit lynch for twin peaks success but it was frost who would let lynch off the leash in season 1. But halfway through season 2, lynch gives you both barrels and it sucks.
He’s done some good things, but in my opinion, at the end of the day lynch is just another artist who doesn’t always tell a complete story and pretends like this inability is some sort of gift to the viewer.
He’s like the Papa Murphy’s of storytellers. Here’s the ingredients, now you figure it out. And you’re welcome.
It bothers me there are people coming through and kicking down comments like this, there’s a lot of support for the guy and his fans without anything derogatory being said, why would anyone take the time to discourage discourse like this?
Lol, thanks! But no worries. I have no illusions about where I am. I’m a dog in a pile of one denigrating the subject of a post honoring a recently deceased abstract artist. I’m literally speaking ill of the dead - albeit a transcendental meditation-ist.
A cult classic cultist! A man who could worship a pyramid as effortlessly as he could scheme one!! He came here to do things, film and fleece, and he’s all out of [time]. 😂
If I wanted to get upvoted I would just do what every other respectable Lynch fan does and simply post a respectful, “He had emphysema…”
it’s not because of some “inability” to tell a conventional story, it’s a deliberate choice
It didn’t always work, but there was an inner logic to his narratives that often carried them along. But some people want everything spelled out for them.

Love the papa Murphy analogy.
