I hope it wasn’t an overdose
Twin Peaks really got the Lovecraftian lore on center stage we have been reaping the benefits on media and games ever since!
I’ve seen a lot of David Lynch’s films. It seems I either really liked them or hated them. There were few which I was undecided. I really like, “Blue Velvet” and have seen it multiple times. Anyways he was obviously an influential director.
His Dune film from 1984 was shithouse!
That was a great series. RIP ❤
This was my brother-in-law , I have been married to his brother John since 1977. David was our best man at our wedding. I was just looking at our photos last night remembering how young we all were. He was a interesting relative! My Aunty and Uncle from Australia were at our wedding. Later, my cousins there got autographs from him. I am a First Fleeter so David had a connection to Australia through me. His dad also was in Australia during WWII.

Christopher Hitchens thought that emoting in public, when some famous person passed, was undignified. I agreed with him. Then he passed, and then David Bowie and Leonard Cohen and some others. And now David Lynch. I am starting to disagree with Hitchens.
No not a boomer! 😢
The Number Of The Day is….now forever unknown.
So sorry to hear of Mr Lynch's passing. Unique,strange incredible talent. R.I.P. 🙏
God rest his soul. David will be missed

RIP that sucks
DAVID YOU'VE LIVED A BLESSED LIFE ALLHEART❤ GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. 🙏
Seeing Lost Highway stoned out of my head was a great cinema experience
Farewell to the best Dune director ! Wish he had realized it was good when it become a cult classic. That film really hurt him emotionally because of studio interference. He never recovered but did make other great art house films like Blue Velvet. He had a very unique visual style, and he was a genius as indicated by his film's complexity.
The elephant man was brilliant
heartbreaking news~ my favorite filmmaker of all time. rest in peace, dear soul, your amazing art will always inspire. hope you got that perfect cup of coffee when they welcomed you to heaven 🤍
What a brilliant, bizarre dude.
RIP Sir.
David Lynch suffered from emphysema. I wonder if polluted air from the fires in California brought on his death.
Sad to hear.😥
😢
Why does noone mention Elephant man???
