Looking for a way to get into Lynch’s work. I know, a little late, but I feel like I’m missing out on something with all the condolences going out today. I’ve heard good things about Twin Peaks? Does it still hold up?

What about his movies? I’ve heard great things about Mulholland Drive, although I was very confused when I got halfway through.

Are there other works that are better to start with or just that people generally recommend as being good?

      Filmmaker David Lynch has thoughts on the “tricky business” of sexual misconduct accusations, specifically the ones posed against fellow Hollywood heavyweights, Louis C.K. and Roman Polanski

      "And Roman Polanski: People were writing things about him when he went to Switzerland and got arrested — things like he should be hung. Things get a little out of hand. You feel terrible for anyone who’s been a victim. This subject is tricky business.”

      “And political correctness came in,” Lynch continued. “I don’t know if that’s a good thing. You can’t make laws to change people.”

      You can make laws to hang them, though

      Literally who didn’t sign that thing? Signatures aside a great deal of his work is very anti patriarchy and while there’s some SUPER uncomfortable stuff he’s been praised frequently by women he’s worked with to approach that stuff very well on set and make what could be a really uncomfortable experience feel like pulling off some damn good acting, which it is. There are lots and lots of stories about his overall sensitivity as a director and care for actors in general but especially in more vulnerable scenes. I think it would be foolish to dismiss the guy over the petition. You’d also have to not watch pretty much most movies.
