I want to dedicate this post to Sir David Lynch. I recently got the Cahiers Du Cinema on him and have been reading it religiously. On top of that I have been watching his amazing TV show 'Twin Peaks'. I also just signed up for Australia's version of Netflix, Quickflix, and will be starting my own sort of festival watching all his movies in chronological order (some for the second or third time). Maybe I will refer to it as the "Don't fLynch Fest"? I really think he is one of the best American filmmakers alive and I hope he does something new soon. He has a beautiful mind and I'm glad that he is one of the few that can tap into our subconscious, challenge our imaginations, our thoughts and what we think is "normal".
On top of that we both share a love for the 50's and Roy Orbsion. He is also a pretty cool artist. In fact, it's what he wanted to do before going into film. But he realized what art lacked was sound and movement and thus why he found solace in movies. I especially like his lithographs. Here are a few that stood out to me (in this book that was far too expensive for me to afford):

| "I find it very difficult to understand what is going on these days." |
 |
| "Murder Victim" |
 |
| "Dreams" |
 |
| "Valley of Shadow" |
Also after I got dressed today, I realized I was dressed like him. After my realization I had a bunch of fun taking pictures of my outfit. Long live David Lynch!
