    I didn’t see a single work of his that I didn’t walk away regretting that time spent. I know a lot of people fawn over his creations, but they weren’t for me.

    Would’ve been interesting to see Mulholland drive as a television series, as a movie there was too much concept into too little space, but I honestly think he preferred it that way.

      I watched Lost Highway which I found to be a confusing mess. To this day, I still have no idea what the hell it was about…

      Completely agree. Everyone loves to credit lynch for twin peaks success but it was frost who would let lynch off the leash in season 1. But halfway through season 2, lynch gives you both barrels and it sucks.

      He’s done some good things, but in my opinion, at the end of the day lynch is just another artist who doesn’t always tell a complete story and pretends like this inability is some sort of gift to the viewer.

      He’s like the Papa Murphy’s of storytellers. Here’s the ingredients, now you figure it out. And you’re welcome.

        Love the papa Murphy analogy.

        It bothers me there are people coming through and kicking down comments like this, there’s a lot of support for the guy and his fans without anything derogatory being said, why would anyone take the time to discourage discourse like this?

      I’d never heard of him until today. I looked him up on IMDB and the only thing I recognized was Twin Peaks. I tried watching that years ago but got a few episodes in and decided it wasn’t for me.

      Still sad to lose someone that a lot of people respected and enjoyed.
