Incredibly happy I got season 3 of Twin Peaks.
You were a gem, David.
This right here! I only saw Twin Peaks for the first time in 2010 or so, and was always hoping somehow to get more. It had so much more potential, and the controversy surrounding the creators hands being forced to reveal the killer early on really changed the intended course afaik. The fact that Lynch came back in as director for season 3 made it so exciting to anticipate and the finished product is some of the best, most memorable Twin Peaks i feel blessed to have seen. What an amazing series.
It was also sad to see everyone aging, and to have lost Pete still hurts to think about... Not to mention Major Briggs and the Log Lady 💔 that was such a beautiful and strange world and part of me will always long for that place.
He had emphysema… they didn’t specifically connect it, but I would be shocked if the fires had no effect on his health. Ash causing strokes and heart failure are some of the specific things they warn about in the air quality warnings. There’s still ash everywhere because it hasn’t rained and they don’t expect it to for at least another week, probably longer. So every time a car goes by in the street it’s kicking up ash that people are breathing in.
In the 2020 Oregon fires, everything was coated in ash even though we were 20-30 miles away. I used a respirator while working outside and it didn't take long for the filters to get all sooty. You'd come outside in the morning and your car would be covered in it as if we'd had fresh snowfall. I have no doubt that it caused problems for someone with emphysema.
Second paragraph of the article OP linked to mentions he was a lifetime smoker. While the fires might exacerbate his symptoms, it sounds like he was already in very poor health.
Sorry, thought it was clear that I was saying that they didn't specifically connect his death to the fires, not that they didn't connect it to emphysema.
This hit hard.
This man truly enjoyed a good cup of coffee.
Damn fine cup of coffee.
And HOT!
He was a fun part of the internet in the 2000s
If you know, you know
Somehow not a fever dream or edit.
Everything that man did was a fever dream
I’m incredibly thankful that he put his mark on the world.
I've always been vaguely bewildered by people getting upset at the deaths of people they'd never met and didn't know. Now I know better. I'm just glad our time on this planet coincided and I got to experience the work of a unique mind.
RIP legend. Lynch was an artist almost beyond comparison.
What the hell, this one caught me off guard. He was another one I thought would live forever.
He smoked for nearly 70 years straight, and had emphysema so bad he couldn't leave his house, and had to be on constant oxygen.
He's been on death's door for a few years now.
Damn this one is a bummer. I always found his work interesting at the very least.
That jump scare in Mulholland Drive gets me every time still.
Dang
May he have beautiful blue skies and golden sunshine, all along the way.
A really great person on so many levels. I like to believe that he had a good life.
Nooooo
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.
I watched Lost Highway which I found to be a confusing mess. To this day, I still have no idea what the hell it was about...
While Lost Highway is probably my least favorite Lynch film, it does have one of my favorite scenes of his
I'd never heard of him until today. I looked him up on IMDB and the only thing I recognized was Twin Peaks. I tried watching that years ago but got a few episodes in and decided it wasn't for me.
Still sad to lose someone that a lot of people respected and enjoyed.
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.
Love the papa Murphy analogy.
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…"
