    David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive director, dies aged 78

    Film-maker who specialised in surreal, noir style mysteries made a string of influential, critically acclaimed works including Wild at Heart and Eraserhead

    😞

    In my dreams I walk with you..........

    RIP

    This one hit me hard.

    Mulholland Drive is on my Mount Rushmore.

    Mullholland Drive is on my opposite of Mount Rushmore. But I love Twin Peaks, The Elephant Man, and Blue Velvet.

    His filmography is much smaller than I would have thought.

    I have a mate who did his PhD on Twin Peaks, he'll be devastated, I'll leave it until tomorrow to see how he is.

    RIP

    Wow, dumbarse here. I had no idea he directed that.

    Crikey that is an emotional film. Anthony Hopkins ( slightly nicer character than Hannibal Lecter ) and John Hurt were amazing in that. Brilliant film.

    Two years earlier he had done the surreal nightmare that is Eraserhead.....

    His range was just insane.

    Peter Brown gone to join his younger brother.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/articles/c3w8q1zj1v6o

    I had the pleasure of attending a lunch where Gordon was one of the speakers, as is well known he was a very engaging speaker but one story he told about his brother shone out.

    It was at a time when selection for Scotland was a revolving door and you would only know on the Thursday if you were playing or not, you were notified by telephone call. Gordon waiting anxiously by the telephone which rings; it's not the selectors but his brother Peter. "Great news! I'm in". "Fantastic, who have they dropped"?

    "You".

    Hangs up.

    funny
    i know his daughter , she and her husband worked for me

    That's amazing! (As normally I would have thought the Holocaust survival came first)..

    um, he did a great deal of things other than films. He really was creative across a great range of media.

    Doesn’t mean he’s not a legend @Bones, you should try and watch more sport.

    ( yeah, I’ve never heard of him either )

    @Bones He was Sky's main football pundit in the early 1990s. Only Scot to win the Ballon D'Or. Part of Manchester United's Holy Trinity in the 1960s alongside George Best and Bobby Charlton.

    Most importantly perhaps he set up the Denis Law Trust that offers free sporting activities to youngsters and tries to keep them out of trouble: https://www.denislawlegacytrust.org/denis-law-legacy-trust

    Probably the most likeable and intelligent British footballer. A legend.

    @sparky He also famously refused to watch the 1966 World Cup Final on TV and instead went and played a round of golf by himself on a deserted golf course. He said his heart sank when he heard the roar from the clubhouse as he knew the bloody Poms must've won 🙂

    Marianne Faithfull. She did to Mars Bars what Sharon Stone did to bar stools & short skirts
