David Lynch RIP

[ska invita]

I think he once quoted that he was heavily influenced by the violence he wirnessed growing up in Philidelphia or somewhere.

Anyhoo I dont think his films are that violent compared to other films that are violent.

His films have multiple themes. I personally find most of his stuff very psychological.

Then there is Twin Peaks. Sometimes scary, sometimes OTT tongue in check and funny and has sometimes quite romantic. Thats the good thing with his stuff, you are always guaranteed a wild ride.

yes true, Twin Peaks has much more of a mix of tones in the soap opera vein....but theres psychological violence in pretty much every film, sometimes brooding but more often explicit - its probably the dominant theme across all the films - often relating to women - this is a good piece (has spoilers)

Exploring David Lynch’s obsession with 'troubled women'

Surrealist auteur David Lynch often features 'troubled women' in his work, such as 'Blue Velvet', 'Mulholland Drive', 'Inland Empire' and 'Twin Peaks'. But why?

Twin Peaks went out at 9pm, ska invita
It was not teatime viewing.
Perhaps you’re confusing it with Heartbreak High?

Except you wouldn’t miss it, precisely cos you had only one chance to see it

Anyway, might do the meditation tomorrow - that will be 8pm GMT - despite having tried meditation before and never really got it. Any tips?

You didn't have a video recorder?

You didn't have a video recorder?

Not then. They were expensive back then.
And also, I was at sixth form and Tuesdays were spent in the common room talking about wtf just happened, instead of going to classes. As equally unmissable as the show. Now we have to listen to fucking podcasts or go on Reddit

Once upon a time they broadcast Aeon Flux and Ren & Stimpy in that timeslot. Halcyon days

don't remember Aeon Flux but, yeah, Ren & Stimpy was on after or before Heartbreak High on a Tuesday evening, though that I was probably at uni by then - remember watching it a lot while getting stoned on Northern Lights

Shaun the sheep was on at 4PM wasn't it?

When?

Don't expect anyrhing that just takes your concentration. Just "Follow the script" after a few minutes it should start working. Of course there are different types of meditation. I'm sure you can find a thread or start one.

The Music Of David Lynch

Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.… It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way. RIP David Lynch 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you for the great films, Twin peaks and the awesom

He's done a couple of solo albums. Crazy Clown Time is worth a listen. It's typically a bit quirky, as you would expect.

Anyone care to share their favourite Lynch scenes?

The road rage incident in Lost Highway for me. Fucking hilarious when Laurent is screaming at the guy to read the highway code

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Lost Highway - shagging in the desert to Song to the Siren. Shivers down the spine moment!

That moment out back behind the bar in Mulholland Dr

A friend did this tribute:

Aye, the filthy woman behind the bins

The dinner scene in Eraserhead is up there. "Just cut them up like regular chickens!"

Dean Stockwell lip-syncing In Dreams from Blue Velvet of course.

And the Robert Blake "I'm there right now" scene in Lost Highway for the surreal creepiness of it. Although the sinister nature of it has probably been amplified more since everything that happened with Blake after.

this is the iconic track for me when i think of Lynch OSTs (and 'in heaven' of course)

 

[ska invita]

thinking about the music again - which means Angelo Badalamenti - and reminded of this one of my all time favourite youtube clips - has been posted several times over the years - most recently when Angelo died a couple of years back - but just maybe someone hasn't seen it

 

[Orang Utan]

Seriously tempted to buy something off of etsy for the first time, though the view from any of my windows could hardly described as Lynchian
