Lmao, for your information: we are NOT okay
I mean I like his stuff and totally recognize that he was a huge influence on film making but mans was 82 or something and he probably died comfortably a millionaire surrounded by loved ones so its not like a huge tragedy. Also he would probably find jokes like this very funny as he was kind of a lynchpin of dark comedy (pun obviously intended)
Oh no I thought it was hilarious (hence the lmao) I was just kinda expanding on the bit. I am in fact very sad about his passing but you’re totally right. He’s a nut and I just read something where he was interviewed and was asked why he was referring to Angelo Badalamenti in present tense (dude passed away) and Lynch was like “eh we just lose our physical form we don’t die, disappearing forever is stupid everything is fine”. So yeah he’s probably having a good laugh at us dorks rn
He’s a nut
One of my favourite things about Lynch is his success as a just unironically weird dude who creates art from that very earnest place. It’s something I hadn’t ever really heard other people say and then Guillermo del Toro also talked about it in an interview about Hideo Kojima of all places. Here from about 2:35/2:40
: I can’t believe David Lynch is dead! What a tragedy, there will never be anyone else like him, Hollywood just can’t make movies like that anymore!
: One illustrious part of the history of cinema is gone. May the best new surrealist directors in the world carry his torch, such as Bi Gan [everyone who enjoys David Lynch and is on this website, PLEASE watch Long Day’s Journey into Night].
I’m not white and I was still really bummed, but this is so true. The whitest people I know were hit the hardest by the news.
BRG is an elite poster and gave us one of the best response images ever
He didnt even insult the guy, its their problem if being liked by white people is an implied insult in these people’s eyes lol
