Animator and comic artist David Lynch has died.
>>147149647I thought he was a director?
>>147149647Sad day. I love Twin Peaks.
https://youtu.be/wKiIroiCvZ0?si=RDon33cK3jQRBLDBRIP. I quote him a lot. I wish he showed up in an actor in more stuff because I think he's always so striking when he's on camera.
>>147149647Rip my dood.Love his work but this is not really co.His weather reports were some of my favorite times to wake up to.
>>147149647fuck. RIP
>>147149659Some people do more than one thing during their life
Damn. I hadn't been on /tv/ today and seen the sticky there, so this was how I found out.
>>147149888I remember late one Halloween night TCM was showing some of Lynch's weird experimental films and animations.
>>147149647>>>/tv/
>>147149647Aw man. This genuinely sucks. Lynch was one of the most influential weirdos in film. He just did shit his own way and found his own audience without giving a fuck what anybody else thought.>>147149937He played the bartender in The Cleveland show if his animation work doesn't count for some reason.
>>147149647F
>>147149647Rest well, king.
>>147149647I guess his animated film Snootworld isn't going to get made anymore. Netflix did turn it down, but apparently other parties were interested in the film.https://deadline.com/2024/04/david-lynch-animated-movie-snootworld-netflix-addams-family-edward-scissorhands-writer-caroline-thompson-1235877710/
>>147150325I feel bad that he will never get to make this movie.>Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive director David Lynch tells us he is hoping to find backers for his under-the-radar animated project Snootworld, even if Netflix recently “rejected” his “fairytale” pitch.>Screen legend Lynch has said little publicly about Snootworld until now and in recent months he has quietly tried to breathe life into the project by seeking out a financier.>He began working on the script two decades ago with former Tim Burton collaborator Caroline Thompson, writer of projects including The Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands, as well as 1991 hit The Addams Family.>“I don’t know when I started thinking about Snoots but I’d do these drawings of Snoots and then a story started to emerge,” Lynch told us in a rare interview. “I got together with Caroline and we worked on a script. Just recently I thought someone might be interested in getting behind this so I presented it to Netflix in the last few months but they rejected it.”>Lynch was philosophical about the reasons for that decision: “Snootworld is kind of an old fashioned story and animation today is more about surface jokes. Old fashioned fairytales are considered groaners: apparently people don’t want to see them. It’s a different world now and it’s easier to say no than to say yes.”>Thompson described the storyline to us as “wackadoo”: “It takes my breath away how wacky it is. The Snoots are these tiny creatures who have a ritual transition at aged eight at which time they get tinier and they’re sent away for a year so they are protected. The world goes into chaos when the Snoot hero of the story disappears into the carpet and his family can’t find him and he enters a crazy, magnificent world”.>Thompson, who last scripted 2018 Steve Carell-Robert Zemeckis movie Welcome To Marwen, wrote acts one and three of the Snootworld screenplay, while Lynch wrote act two.
>>147149647Rest in peace.
>>147150451>Lynch told us he hadn’t decided yet whether he would direct (as well as produce and co-write) Snootworld, but the possibility remains open. He said he had harboured hopes his filmmaker daughter Jennifer (a regular director on American Horror Story) may take it on but that she has “so many things in the pipeline that she ultimately thought it would be better for me or someone else to direct it”.>Despite Netflix not biting, the screen legend still believes in Snootworld‘s potential: “I like this story. It’s something that children and adults can both appreciate…I’ve never really done a straight animation but with computers today it’s possible to do some spectacular things.”>Four-time Oscar nominee Lynch, now 78, hasn’t directed a feature in almost 20 years, since Inland Empire, but he returned to his iconic Twin Peaks franchise in 2017.>There is often idle speculation around this time that the Palme d’Or winner may be taking a secret project to the Cannes Film Festival, but Lynch told us he didn’t have anything lined up for the event.>Lynch was coy about which project may be his next or which is taking up most of his time, cryptically noting: “I can’t talk about those things right now.”>We have reached out to Netflix for comment.
>>147150325Companies are going to clamber to get it made now. Lynch was a living hero for a lot of Hollywood.
>>147149669Let's time how long before they announce a remake from Denis Villeneuve
RIP ladMaddy best Twin Peaks girl btw
>>147150451Seems like the greats always leave one unfinished project behind.
>>147149647I didn't know he did either of those>>147150142yes! he was great in Cleveland Show!!! god that was a good show. Never great, but never bad.
me rnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBelvYeF440
https://youtu.be/9Y9R8ZzX8M4
>>147149659>>147150826He also had a comic strip called The Angriest Dog in the World. It's just as absurdist as you'd expect.
https://youtu.be/drjQfQtv2BQ
One of the all time greats, his influence is felt everywhere in even /v/ and /co/. I need to watch Twin Peaks again
RIP
>>147149647He was one of those people whose entire career permanently reshaped human culture in some small way, even if other parts of the world don't know it.
>>147149647I unironically really enjoyed his role as "Gus" on Cleveland show.

>>147149647I've never seen anything by this guy before. Is any of it any good?
probably from all the pedophilia
The Dune movie he disowned is still a guilty pleasure of mine.
>>147152760>projecting.jpeg
>>147152894Eemphysema from 50+ years of heavy smoking raped his lungs, it's why he'd been sickly and housebound for the last 18 months. Smoke inhalation from the LA fires pretty much finished him off.
>>147152695Start with Twin Peaks then watch the movie and Season 3/The Return afterwards.
>>147149647o7
>>147152894Fuck off
>>147151090What underground zine did this come from?
>>147153749Apparently the LA Reader, which is defunct but it also printed Matt Groening's Life in Hell back in the day.
>>147149647no more blue tommorows
bump
>>147149647Wait WHAT, he's actually dead?! I thought it was like an elaborate prank.
>>147149647His best role was in Cleveland's Show
>>147149908What are the chances of this getting released now?
I don't care about this.
>>147149647Rest in peace
>>147149647 he was a weird dude
>>147155675I care immensely.
>>147150711We didn't lose a great anime director, we lost a great film director, one who lazy American fucks pilferedThe hardest thing about rewatching Paprika is seeing the genius police detective with a bad heart who knows he's living on borrowed time and won't finish his goals, and realizing Kon was trying to prepare us
>>147151090Ryan North had no idea this existed when he started Dinosaur Comics but as soon as he learned about it he gave one of the characters a dog as tribute to the guy who thought of the concept first and did it so well.
>>147151370The midge from TP actually voiced this character. MI had a ridiculous VA budget for one-off charas at a time when normally they would have just paid the same 3 "other voices" VAs to do the supporting cast. Kath Soucie as Daphne's mom sounded so much like Grey's normal speaking voice I thought it was her.
>>147151383Japan definitely knew it, moreso than we do. Their film, anime and video game creators were very open about admitting his influence on them and TP in particular, with Deadly Premonition being the most obvious example.
>>147151649It's crazy that his role on Twin Peaks had him shouting his lines as a hearing impaired character only because he was convinced he was a lousy actor and this would disguise that, then turning in the most natural performance as Gus a decade later.
>>147156198He collected Woody Woodpecker dolls, gave them names then had to put two of them away for misbehaving, saying only "they know what they did."A set decorator ruined a take by being visible in a background and Lynch's response to this was "you're Bob, an evil spirit," as though this were intended all along and it fucking worked.When Waters goes, film is dead.
>>147157444>one who lazy American fucks pilferedcare to name an example?
>>147149647RIP, I should focus on the good but I need to say he was right about the phone/portable device thing even though people meme it up, not just for low rez movies but in general how the wifi phone era has led to a flood of clueless, quick search critics who haven't heard or seen something in its original fidelity and context but feel qualified to make remarks.I'm not saying everything is an awe inspiring piece of art worthy of reverence, but it's like if you recorded blurry footage of something or someone during sight seeing, showed someone else and they said "I don't see the big deal", of course they don't, but congrats on the useless input.
>>147149659He made Dumbland. Animated in MS paint.
>>147149647Made me check Got me OP
>>147157624Off the top of my head, people often compare Paprika to Inception, and the parallels are pretty clear if not a direct remake. Darren Aronofsky listed him as an influence, took a scene from Perfect Blue for Requiem for a Dream, and it's been widely argued Black Swan was an unlicensed adaption of the same. He denied it, but did admit the similarities, and allegedly tried to get the rights at one point before making Black Swan shortly after. There's others.
>>147149647F.
>>147158491>people often compare Paprika to Inception, and the parallels are pretty clear if not a direct remake.Actually watch Inception dude, the story is VERY different from Paprika. Inception is about planting an idea in someone's dreams, Parika has dreams coming to life and controlling people. >it's been widely argued Black Swan was an unlicensed adaption of the sameThere's some inspired scenes in Black Swan, bu the stories are completely diffetent. Black Swan felt more inspired by The Red Shoes to me, with hints of Pefect blue thrown in. Darren isn't a lazy fuck.
>>147149647I was watching Twin Peaks and decided to look him up for his other works. RIP.
>>147149647RIP IN PEACE
>>147149647RIP to him. I should watch some of his movies to celebrate.
>>147149647He really doesn't deserve this. He has so much ahead of him before passing away.
>>147149669>I love Twin Peaks.What is the appeal of that show?
This is his best on-screen appearance, and I cannot be swayed from that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlEJbs02wAM
Didn’t one of his movies or show had a troon (groomer) in it?
>>147157470Ryan North eats balls.
>>147162378yes and he has his character in twin peaks s3 look at the camera and say if you hate troons you should die
>>147163054based
>>147161077Have you seen ANY of them at all, or would this be a first venture?
>>147149647How many animated voice roles has he in so far by the way?
>>147149647Why don't we ever see him more often /co/?
