David Lynch, the filmmaker celebrated for his uniquely dark vision in such movies as “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive” and the TV series “Twin Peaks,” has died just days before his 79th birthday.
His family announced the death in a Facebook post on Thursday. The cause of death and location was not immediately available, but Lynch had been public about his emphysema.
I got really bored with Twin Peaks at one point. Just felt like the magic was gone and it went stale. But I stuck with it, and the magic came back in a big way. After a little research, turns out my boredom exactly coincided with the period when Lynch was gone working on something else.
Shine on, you crazy diamond. The world is a bit less wonderful and strange with your passing.
Season 2, episodes 9 to the last two or so, IIRC.
The magic was definitely gone, but if you know ahead of time that patch kinda has its charm as a mid season spin off.
