Beautiful Blue Skies and Golden Sunshine

It would have been David Lynch’s 79th birthday today. Gonna have some black coffee and donuts in tribute.

It’s been really heartwarming to see all the tributes and remembrances from around the web the last few days, clearly I’m not alone in having been deeply touched by the man.

Some clips of or about the man that I’ve enjoyed over the years:

David Lynch on Where Great Ideas Come From : A few jobs ago I used to quote this incessantly.

David Lynch Meets George Lucas : I get it, I really do, but man, the Lynch Return of the Jedi would have been amazing.

David Lynch on iPhone: I think it’s very funny that Lynch only says “telephone” in this, and the kind of nerd who would edit this together had to, just had to make it about the iPhone, specifically.

David Lynch Teaches Creativity and Film (Masterclass): an abbreviated version, and cough check the description.

Naomi Watts, Laura Dern & Patricia Arquette Tell David Lynch Stories | W magazine: I cannot think of another famous person who everyone does an imitation of, but the imitation is always positive.

John Ford Scene | THE FABELMANS (2022) Movie CLIP HD: Spoilers, I guess? Lynch as John Ford at the end of The Fabelmans

David Lynch: The Art Life - The Films - The Criterion Channel: The Criterion Channel has made The Art Life free though the end of January!

Mulholland Drive - Original TV pilot: Oh snap! I havn’t watched it yet, but the original TV pilot configuration of Mullholland Drive is up on the internet archive.

His book is out of print, but the audiobook version is still available, and considering he read it himself that’s probably the better way to go: Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity

As the man always said: Have a Great Day!
