Without a doubt, my favourite filmmaker of all time.

Rest In Peace, good sir.

Fuck. It isn't a complete surprise given that he was a human cigarette, but.... fuck.

RIP.

Got a call about it on my drive home a bit ago.

Guess it is time to do a complete filmography re-watch.

When you have to leave the room so that you don't have to explain that you're crying over the death of a filmmaker you never knew personally.

I'm surprised by how sad this news has made me. I mean, for someone I never met & had no personal relationship with, this cuts deep.

Damn, I know he was having a tough time recently but still pretty stunned. RIP

Bob Uecker passed away too. I'd love to sit in on a conversation between those two.

He is in the front row for sure.

Just a week ago we named a new pair of kittens who have joined our menagerie Sailor and Lula.

A sad day. A little while back my partner and I were talking about which legends deaths must not be too far away and which would hurt the most. Lynch and Waits were at the top of the list. Let's hope Waits stays with us for a while because I'm not sure there were that many others that would bother me.

I know I often make a thing of composing cute obit posts etc, but… pretty hard to process this news right now.

In terms of any kind of art / culture I care about, Lynch has been a giant presence throughout my life, really.

You could easily beat your chest and declare him the best filmmaker of the past 50 years or whatever… but that would imply that he was in competition with other people for that dubious honour, when really he was out there on a plain of his own, almost entirely removed; working to his own rules, creating his own genre - his own artform, near enough. A completely self-sufficient, uniquely inspired DIY artist, with a vision so strong he somehow managed to filter it through millions of dollars and hundreds of collaborators and still get it up on screen at what felt like 100% proof. And, all whilst giving every impression of being a real swell guy too.

But enough blather - shall try to return to this when it’s sunk in a bit.
