What a bummer.

Twin Peaks changed TV for ever.
His version of Dune was such a dud.

Sad to hear of Lynch’s passing.
The first Lynch film I saw was Blue Velvet when it came out, and it is still as beautifully disturbing now as it was then.

We lost a genius creative. Condolence to his family and friends. The first Lynch film I ever saw was The Elephant Man and it left quite the impression. He has an interesting if somewhat disorienting style to his films that will be sorely missed.
Fighto!
Sad news to wake up to.
Lynch didn't make too many movies, but what he did make were all mostly great and original. I thought The Straight Story was a beautiful film.

One of my favorite directors. Nobody made films like him. Personal fave was Mulholland Drive. Sad day.

There are so very few originals in the word, but he was definitely one of them. I discoverd his comic strip The Angriest Dog in the World while I was in college. Just a unique as any of his movies - the panels are always the same, only the writing changes.
I always found it funny that he was an Eagle Scout. Those campfire ghost storeis must have been something else.

Loved his interpretation of Dune - it would probably be called steampunk nowadays - though he considered it a failure. A very talented director and producer.

I'd have to second that. I had no idea he made that movie until the end credits were rolling. I've always liked Blue Velvet and was really hooked on Twin Peaks. Originality was him, for sure, which Hollywood seems to be in dire shortage of these days.

The Elephant Man
Blue Velvet
The Straight Story
Mulholland Drive
Not to mention Twin Peaks on TV.
Always loved David Lynch, but those hit me the hardest.
RIP to a truly unique and great artist.

Being a Lynch and Dune fan, I so wanted the film to be good but alas.....it was a complete mess. I guess there is a loose connection between Dune and Steampunk that Lynch tried to emphasize visually as AI is outlawed in the Dune universe. Lynch even pulled an Alan Smithee on the TV version of Dune and had his name removed from it.
