David Lynch, the Oscar-nominated director of surrealistic films including “Eraserhead,” “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive,” and the co-creator of the cult drama series “Twin Peaks,” has passed away.
David Keith Lynch was born on January 20, 1946, in Missoula, Montana, to Donald Walton Lynch, a U.S. Department of Agriculture research scientist, and Edwina “Sunny” Lynch, an English tutor. Raised in a middle-class family, Lynch’s childhood was marked by frequent relocations due to his father’s job, living in various small-town settings across Idaho, Washington, and Virginia.
In Heaven everything is fine
I watched the 1977 David Lynch Film “Eraserhead” on Netflix DVD for the first time. This experimental fantasy, science fiction, horror film was written, directed, produced, edited, and music scored by, David Lynch (The Elephant Man, Dune, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, TV Episodes of Twin Peaks). It is about Henry Spencer who is on vacation and having girlfriend issues, nightmares, and a screaming premature ET embryo-looking baby.
I watched the 1984 Universal Pictures science fiction classic “Dune” on Netflix DVD. I hadn’t seen it since I went to Phipps Plaza, in Atlanta Georgia, in 1984. I wanted to watch it again before seeing the 2021 remake. It is the story of rival noble families that battle for control of the planet Arrakis, the only known source of the drug melange, also known as Spice. This Spice causes precognition, future vision, and is vital to space travel, making it the most vital commodity in the universe.
