    People all of a sudden hate Anora and Sean Baker.

    And are mad that the movie is named the name of the main character who does not like her name?

    One of the many forms of poison created by Oscar season.

    Can’t believe they didn’t change the name of the movie to Ani. So disrespectful.

    David Lynch was one of the most essential directors in the Collection, his movies were a major draw to the brand and was a big part of my early collecting.

    tbh, the only non-Lynch Criterion release i own is Parasite, but i've been meaning to change that for a bit. here's hoping they can get Wild at Heart and The Straight Story in soon.

    Feels like the world really lost something special. I am not okay.

    Crazy though, a Lynch movie that won the Palme, impossible to find on physical. I think it pops in and out of rental on Amazon? And that’s it. It’s the only one I haven’t seen.

    It rocks, maybe my 2nd fav. I think the Shout Blu is solid

    I think Lost Highway is my platonic ideal of a Lynch movie, I think it’s my favorite. Though it’s hard to deny Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr when they’re on.

    i need to revisit Lost Highway. i got the UHD in a Criterion sale. it was good, but i also don't know if i grasped it all that well originally.

    I think once I heard Patricia Arquette mention the OJ trial and how that played at least a part in Lynch’s creative process….was kind of a skeleton key for me.

    interesting. that might change things for me when i revisit it (slightly related, but part of me wonders what he would've thought about Severance - it has some Lynchian elements)
     
  20. I like The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Lost Highway. Never loved Lynch quite like others do (it's my loss and I continue to try), but this is absolutely a profound loss.

    i'd argue that lunch is a very important meal, Aaron.

    great choices though

    They also put up a little retrospective on the channel, as they usually do when a prominent filmmaker dies.

    The Worst But Best Person You Know

    I figured I’d post this here.

    David Lynch was in many ways a part of my life. Growing up, I’d watch Dune with my dad and one day, he made sure I watched a movie called The Elephant Man. That is one of my all time favorite movies and even if the facts in the movie is dubious, it is a profoundly powerful piece of cinema and truly a movie that could make a stone cry.

    Flash forward to my adult years and I grew to dive into that memory and explore the work of the man who made that movie. What I found was the work of a man who had his own surrealist, truly artistic view of the American experience that is truly unique and can never be replicated but only imitated.

    I could talk at length about his filmography and what it means to me but instead of that, I ask anyone who is reading this and haven’t watched any of his work to give it a chance and figure out how it makes you feel, good or bad. That’s what David would’ve wanted.

    Thank you, David Lynch, for being one of those first sparks of my interest in movies and thank you for being such a damn good human being to inspire us all to be more like you. Rest easy, I hope your spirit has rejoined the collective consciousness of the universe.
