David Lynch, the filmmaker celebrated for his uniquely dark vision in such movies as “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and the TV series “Twin Peaks,” has died just days before his 79th birthday.
His family announced the death in a Facebook post on Thursday. The cause of death and location was not immediately available, but Lynch had been public about his emphysema.
“We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, `Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole,”’ the post read. “It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”

A very sad day for the global film industry. His creativity broke away from the typical Copy/paste movies of Hollywood.
I'm pretty sure that the guy he's sitting with in the clip is Henry Rollins. Anyway heaven just got weirder. RIP David.
I'm a proud AFI grad. RIP David Lynch, a legendary director. He visited AFI quite often, and about 18-ish years ago, he was a chain smoker then—I’m sure he smoked at least two or three packs until his last day:) whatever works to feed his creative soul… What a great director…
❤❤❤😢
RIP Blue Velvet is a classic.
This has got to be one of the most normal cp24 comment sections ever. No racism.
The indulgement in ban substances finally caught up with him
Se fue Un grande e irrepetible. Ya no habrá más Pueblos esquizoides y crípticos en que sumergirse . Aunque siempre volveré a Twin Peak para encontrar al Maestro y sumergirme en su Mundo
Damn cigarettes kill way too many good people.
