A meme of David Lynch saying fix your hearts or die

You heard the man 🖤

To say that he was my favorite filmmaker would be an understatement. It’s no exaggeration that for me personally, the fact that I got to be alive for 35 years on this planet while David Lynch walked the earth and made art is only akin to sharing oxygen with a literal prophet (1/15)

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch

Issue 51: David Lynch Archives - Bright Wall/Dark Room September 2017

A truly awful day for movies and art, losing one of the most singular and brilliant voices to ever make them.

We've unlocked our full David Lynch issue from 2017, which is now entirely free to read.

R.I.P. Mr. Lynch, and thank you forever for the work and example you left us.

Fix your hearts or die.

David Lynch, Visionary Director of ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Blue Velvet,’ Dies at 78 Director David Lynch, who radicalized American film with with a dark, surrealistic artistic vision in films like 'Blue Velvet,' has died. He was 78.

Absolutely gutted. An artist of such towering vision and presence. No one better at cross-examining the dreams and nightmares of American life.

There will never be another quite like him 💔

The only way I’d have it — @thehorrormaster.bsky.social is the best music to write to 🖤

Totally agree!

Also treating it as a head canon Brooklyn Nine-Nine spin-off lol

Happy one year death anniversary

You'll Never Make the Six: Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987) When I was younger, 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' felt like a peek into a secret world of men that I knew so little about.

“Revisiting PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES every year is about more than just having something to put on TV after stuffing ourselves full of food & attempting to come down from our own holiday travel nightmares. It’s a reminder that strangers, like family, are worth some extra patience & kindness.”

My piece on the incredible Latvian film FLOW and other dialogue-free animated animated features made it go print at New York Times. Here’s the link to the online version for anyone who wants to read it in full: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/m...

Learning to punch up The vital nature of power analysis

I wrote about people insulting Elon Musk and his relationship with Trump by calling him ‘Elonia’ or ‘First Lady.’

This approach doesn’t work both because it reinforces the language and approach of bigotry, and because it doesn’t hurt our powerful targets one bit.

We have to learn to punch up.

Finally got around to The Exorcist III and among many reasons to love it, every scene with these two is a treasure. A vein and grounding of compassion facing down such evils.

What a movie!
