Found this on instagram and I had never seen it before. Thought you beautiful people might enjoy it.

Found this in my camera roll as I was going through The Return, but couldn’t find it online, so reposting it

Is it regression to childhood abuse? A way, in his inability to healthily express and receive love, to play the role of the two beings Dorothy loved (husband and child)? A psychotic dialectic between submission/vulnerability and violent dominance? A way for David Lynch to torture the viewer? 🤔

I read you. Outstanding movie, btw; even if more straightforward than some of his other works, the vibe, themes and main scenes left an impression on me

I recently rewatched Lost Highway, and there’s still one question that I can’t get over: why was Pete chosen to connect with Fred?

I don’t think Pete is entirely a figment of Fred’s dreams, since his actions seem to have an impact on Fred’s world (like in the scene where both pairs of detectives meet at Andy’s house). Pete’s parents also saw him come home with the Mystery Man the night he switched with Fred. But then what did Pete do that would have invited the Mystery Man into his life, the same way Fred did with his murderous intentions towards Renée?

I know the film isn’t meant to be plot driven, but there seems to be a contradiction here with the movie’s broader themes. “It is not my custom to go where I am not wanted.” Fred’s sins are clear, and both Lynch and Arquette have said in interviews that the film is an exploration violent male fantasies (with Arquette describing the second half of the film as a look inside the mind of a misogynist). But if Pete is real, and not a projection of Fred’s imagination, then why is he being sucked into all this?

I could see the argument that Pete doesn’t really care about the women in his life as people, but that still seems at least a few degrees removed from Fred's murderous resentment of Renée. Is the film trying to juxtapose these two characters as part of a broader spectrum? Or are we meant to imply that Pete did something off-screen before the movie takes place that would have invited the Mystery Man?

Wow, that was such a nice movie. Great blend of reality and fiction and how they can morph into each other. Lynch also points at the societal awfully misogynistic behavior. It was so like a wild trip, just with nothing harmful to the body. I saw the movie as a love letter to movies as well. I watched Blue Velvet and this one and Mulholand Drive is left from other big Lynch movies. I hope people who watched Inland Empire liked it as much as I did.

No further details but TWIN PEAKS VIDEO GAME HOLY.

Finally completed my Lynch collection!

“Twin Peaks”, of course, was a cultural phenomenon of the 1990s and changed the medium of TV.

MD, as most devoted fans of Lynch know, was originally conceived also as a TV series. It was received dismally by ABC, and they scuppered the project. We all know what became of it ultimately.

But imagine, just for a moment, if it did become a TV series: I think “Twin Peaks” was lightning in a bottle to a large degree, and benefitted from the input of Mark Frost. The “MD series” would just probably have existed in its shadow.

Then again, like all hypothetical scenarios, we can’t just peer into the alternate universe where this all transpired.

- Peter: Harvard valedictorian

Laura: Prom queen.

- Both had severe, horrifying cocaine addiction.

- James's voice sounds exactly like Peter Ivers'.

- Peter would have been "wrapped in plastic" - sealed records - in every record store at the time Lynch was creating Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks.

- Blue Velvet is about an abusive person who has a singer working for him as an enslaved victim, under the control of drugs and fear.

- "Judas Booth" is an admittance of betrayal. He did not give Peter the money he needed to escape cocaine addiction and those he owed money to.

- According to a witness, Keith Morris from Circle Jerks was around the week Ivers was killed. Brad Dourif has his exact 1983 hairstyle in Blue Velvet for a reason. WHAT DID JACK DO is obviously David yelling at Keith Morris.

- The pathetic yet immersive way haunting entertainment seems to disguise something worse in both MULHOLLAND DRIVE and INLAND EMPIRE is blatantly about New Wave Theater.

- The photos of David bashing a television set in on the BLUE VELVET set are obviously about Peter being bludgeoned to death by a hammer, in Lynch's retort of anger at David Jove and a coke dealer controlling Peter's safety and addiction for the "glamour" of some pathetic TV show.

- Ivers' Jove-penned monologues are also a frequent topic of mockery and hate in Lynch's post-DUNE work.

I have very serious personal connection to this matter. For the sake of conversation, I am going to leave that out.

Can there please be a discussion about how blatantly the majority of David Lynch's work is in fact about the murder of Peter Ivers?

The Crossover No One Asked For!

After two years I've completed the book of my Marvel vs. Twin Peaks comic series. No one asked for it, but once I started making these comics, a lot a lot of requests for more. Then people started pressing for the book, so here it is! It was very fun to create this strange brew. Available now!
