  1. Holy crap. I just found this shit out. I will never forget "The Grandmother" 1969. We are slowly losing our current, most abstract artists. Once Harmony Korine, Guy Maddin and Gaspar Noe are gone? Abstract films will be no more. Officially.

  2. The “big budget” film Kyle was talking about is DUNE. Blue Velvet was two years later and had a very small budget.

    In fact, Lynch had to personally take a pay cut after filming started to get the producers would leave him alone.

  3. Have to admit, Naomi Watts earned an instant level of respect for working on Mulholland Drive and giving herself over to that role. I don't know if it was an Oscar winning performance, but looking back, just being there was kind of like getting an Oscar. That movie was strange as hell, but admirable. A true Hollywood dark fantasy.

  4. I've been watching retrospects on David Lynch, the man and the movies. His death has touched me so deeply. Sad day, the world has lost a unique and strange individual. God speed.

  5. 3:11 Kyle is refering here to "Dune" : it was his first film with David Lynch and it was indeed the "first and last big budget movie" of the genius who gave us masterpieces of modern cinema like "Blue Velvet", "Lost Highway" or "Mulholland Drive"…
    Anyway, he was my favorite living director for more than 35 years and I will never forget how he changed my view on the world, art, people, I mean, everything !!! RIP dear David…

  6. Thanks for such a concise little nugget of response to the devastating news of Mr Lynch's passing. I wish that we as a planet could all do something collectively on (what would have been) his birthday tomorrow, the 20th of January to celebrate him and how he has touched so many of our lives in such a brilliant way. Peace.✌🍩☕
