Lynch's work is intertwined with my formative years, getting into films, music, friendships... this one cuts deep.

r.i.p.

Ahhhhh SHIT. On one hand, gutted. On the other, I can't think of many people I'm 100% lived their life to ultimate fullest, and he was one of those people. Good life. Swift death. Still will miss him in the world. 

This is tearing on my heartstrings like a motherfucker. I just thought my grandpa could die today and I'd probably be more sad about Lynch being gone. With old people I'm pretty much fine when they die of old age, because that's life, but with Lynch it's like a part of the world died today, a part that was so precious to my own identity, a strange little reflection of people that really helped me find myself when I was lost in life again and again.
Thank you Mr. Lynch, I'm sorry I ended up hanging out with Bill Murray in the dream you two were in, you just looked so busy smoking your cigarette outside of the café that I didn't want to bother you with wanting to hang out.

shit. dammit. 

fckn legend. RIP

Well put. 

Good night, sweet prince. You had a good run. One of the best, actually.

I'll start the retrospective as soon as I feel up for it.

Still waiting on cigarettes that won't kill you. The sensations he describes are spot on. I miss smoking sometimes but it ain't worth getting killed over.

My wife and I visited an exposition of his in Maastricht somewhere in 2019. It was really interesting.

Again, rip

Beautiful tribute from Kyle MacLachlan

Kyle McLachlan, aka Cooper, Kale or Paul Atreides wrote some beautiful words under a bunch of pictures of them together on Instagram:

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
 
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

David Lynch's Inland Empire Soundtrack (archive.org)

lynch was a real one

Devastating. 
I'm so sad but so grateful for his work. 
His film work has touched me as deeply as anything.
 

An auteur without equal thriving in the midst of mainstream Hollywood, always transcending it... RIP and thanks for introducing me to quinoa 

Still hard to believe, I'm really sad, discovered Twin Peaks at 14 during a 1997 rerun on french TV and it was love at first sight, in the following years I discovered the rest of his work and it became a big part of me, RIP Mr Lynch
