El Profesor Lynch was a great storyteller. His most straight ahead movie, The Straight Story let's the story speak for itself. No head turning stuff, just the surreal of " ordinary" life. He had a singular vision. It took him five years to make Eraserhead a movie he never expected to get beyond the film art crowd. The hope there is to hold on to your vision. It might just take you where you are hoping to go.
I was busy finishing a Ph.D. when The Straight Story came out so it took me by surprise a few years later when I randomly happened on it during a transatlantic flight. I couldn't believe I was fortuitously watching such a great all-American but utterly non-Hollywood movie, set in the beautiful backroads of western Wisconsin where I lived at the time. Watching the protagonist creeping along at 5mph on his earth-hugging tractor while I was moving 400mph at 30,000 feet over the ocean made it even more surreal. It was only after finishing the film, stunned and amazed, that I learned it was by Lynch. My first thought was "THAT was by David Lynch?!" quickly followed by "OF COURSE it was."
Thanks for this obituary Kevin. It's clear that the NYT writer just didn't get who David Lynch was and what he was about: "performative normality" & "Mr. Lynch’s interviews, at once laconic and gee-whiz, were blandly withholding." As for their descriptions of "Mulholland Drive" (erotic thriller) and "Inland Empire" (A blandly inscrutable movie) ... The latter is perhaps my favourite film of all time.
He will be greatly missed. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have a copy of the self-portrait he did for the crowd funder for "The Art Life".
One of my closest friends was a professional film critic for 20 years, and I’m pretty sure that his favourite director was David Lynch. But no matter what evidence I cited, that friend would never entertain the idea that 9/11 was an inside job. Oh the sad irony.
From my experience people (especially AmeriCONs) just don’t want to know the truth. It’s too difficult to realize you thought you lived in the “good guys” country when in fact it’s the heart of evil.
You know...its funny...I guess its just the way (what's left of) my mind works; but I was reminded somehow of this crazy song by Tom Waits, the meaning of which he expounds upon in this interview clip:
he's a big part of the problem. what the fuck is wrong with people who cant just come out and say JEWS DID 911 & 10/7 and had the hutzpah to blame it on "the" Muslims, and drop a lot of bombs over these gargantuan Jewish lies. people are worried about being "racist" but actually NOT telling the truth is way more racist. fuck everything Hollyweird. who fucking cares about david lynch? a bunch of brainwashed retarts divorced from reality living in the jewed down modern world. suck it
For someone in his position, the issue is: How does one talk in such a way as to reach the people who matter (the not-as-yet-converted, especially those at the higher end of the socioeconomic spectrum)? I thought his way of approaching it was pretty effective - probably far more effective than if he'd expressed certainty about any specific aspect of what happened.
Sorry, I forgot you were the last guy on Earth who hasn't figured it out yet. I have a library of maybe 60 books on the issue of what really happened on 9/11 and would happy to recommend some. David Ray Griffin's The New Pearl Harbor is a good place to start. Meanwhile here's a good intro video: https://youtu.be/3tuAcRur_fA?si=X1rEwpAzEyH0lL4o
OK, you aren't the last OCT believer, that was someone else, you are the Judy Wood advocate. Anyway you are right that they destroyed all 7 WTC prefixed buildings, and that less hit the ground than might have been expected.
It's a sad commentary on human beings that you all still fall for that 9/11 Truth shinola. There was no inside job. There were no missiles. No demolition explosions. The planes were hijacked. They ran into buildings. No joo plot. Building exteriors can collapse at and even above g thanks to leveraging. I think David Lynch was a great director. It's a stain on his legacy that he fell for that crap too.

Yes, he was real, which is why the lie factories (Hollywood and MSM) didn't quite know what to make of him.

UNDERGROUND
[Verse 1]
Rattle big black bones in the danger zone
There's a rumblin' groan down below
There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found
There's a world going on underground
[Verse 2]
They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mineshaft roads, it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground
[Verse 3]
All the roots hang down, swing from town to town
They are marching around down under your boots
All the trucks unload beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on underground
Thanks for this Kevin.
Thanks Kevin. I knew he was big in the TM scene but I didn't know he was a truther. Thanks so much.
he's a big part of the problem. what the fuck is wrong with people who cant just come out and say JEWS DID 911 & 10/7 and had the hutzpah to blame it on "the" Muslims, and drop a lot of bombs over these gargantuan Jewish lies. people are worried about being "racist" but actually NOT telling the truth is way more racist. fuck everything Hollyweird. who fucking cares about david lynch? a bunch of brainwashed retarts divorced from reality living in the jewed down modern world. suck it
Had to stop reading. Am I supposed to believe Lynch really thought towers ‘collapsex’ from controlled demolition ?
I don’t buy it. He’s too clever to fall for either the Tier 1 or Tier 2 psyops.
So this means - surprise surprise - yet another pushed popular icon was a useful tool of the useless eliters.
For someone in his position, the issue is: How does one talk in such a way as to reach the people who matter (the not-as-yet-converted, especially those at the higher end of the socioeconomic spectrum)?

He literally pushed the 9/11 truth Psyop.

I expect it will all be pushing the Tier 2 disinformation -
3 towers (there were 7)
Controlled demolition: (nothing hit the ground)
OK, you aren't the last OCT believer, that was someone else, you are the Judy Wood advocate. Anyway you are right that they destroyed all 7 WTC prefixed buildings, and that less hit the ground than might have been expected.
I’m a scientist. I prefer reality to fantasy
😀
7 towers came down not 3. Lynch is pushing the controlled opposition Tier 2 9/11 ‘truth movement’ lies.
😟
So very interesting! I never saw Blue Velvet - fascinating beginning. And then Lynch's soft-spoken attention to 9/11. Thank you.
It's a sad commentary on human beings that you all still fall for that 9/11 Truth shinola. There was no inside job. There were no missiles. No demolition explosions. The planes were hijacked.

How did the last man on Earth who still believes the official story happen upon this Substack? ; - )
You’re funny, and your satire is succinct. Well done, sleep well and God bless
lynch: intuition = emotion + intellect
a flowing of knowingness
Most excellent eulogy, good sir. David Lynch a genius of the ongoing apocalypse (= unveiling, not the dime store bizarro Jesu version) .
