Hollywood’s broken, except for David Lynch

Lynch has been the perfect companion for these months of quarantine. I'm glad I found your channel!

Great video. My favorite director is, Darren Aronofsky. I often say that he transcends just being a movie. The Fountain might be my favorite movie of all time. Mother had me in tears also.

One aspect of Lynch that's completely underrated is his humor. Take "Mullholland Drive". I didn't see it at the theater, I actually wound up watching the DVD at my cousin's house about a year after it came out. He told me nothing about it, we just started watching it. He knows my sense of humor though, and how I was going to react. During the scene where the Castigliane brothers (one of them played by Lynch's composer, Angelo Badalamenti btw) come to the board room meeting, oh lord. I couldn't even breathe, I was laughing so hard. I had tears in my eyes and everything. The longer it goes on, the more obnoxious it gets. Yet, it's also subdued and dry. "Espresso...." Then , "the worst hitman ever" scene. That was so dry and bleak. Again, I was out of breath, and crying. (I'm a fan of dry humor). Shooting a vacuum cleaner?! And really, who else would cast Billy Ray Cyrus in the scene he's in? Pure comic genius. Ultimately, "Mullholland Drive" winds up being a very sad and haunting movie, and I couldn't shake it for days. I don't want to spoil it, but when you finally realize what you've been watching, what she's done, and what the guilt leads her to, is very rough. I remember an interview long ago where Laura Dern was talking about Lynch's "animal kits". If you've never heard of that, look it up. It's very bizarre, and funny in a grotesque way. One of the most fascinating things about "The Straight Story" is that it's a "G" rated David Lynch film. Who'd have thunk? Good on you for trying to help the squirrel. Even if it ended sadly, you tried, and it says a lot about you. Bless the squirrel for trying too. Take care.

Kelly, I appreciate you and your videos.

Outstanding video!! Many thanks for sharing your thoughts and beginning an analysis of Davis Lynch and his films!!

Hey Kelly! Whoah, look at you, doing a deep dive into David Lynch. How cool is this?! He is one of my faves, faves, faves of all time — and we’re so lucky that we get to share the same time/space dimension with him. One of the staggering things about him is that his creativity lives and breathes so close to the id. He’s so tapped into his instincts which is why his films oftentimes have a subconscious nightmarish quality about them, even more so than many so-called “horror” directors. So while films like ‘Eraserhead’ and ‘The Elephant Man’ can be categorized as tragedies, they also possess a haunting quality that rivals the best in the horror genre. But like you pointed out in your reference of Dennis Hopper’s character in ‘Blue Velvet,’ most of his films are fascinating hybrids in which the trauma of adulthood often bleeds into the innocence of childlike wonder. And as you also alluded to, while a great many other films tend to trip over their own tropes, there is no bull** about Lynch. He is always authentic, even at his most outlandish and surreal. He is an artist who is so “pure” about his creative expression that it’s only one of the reasons why he comes across as so anti-Hollywood. And bless him for that! Kelly, I absolutely LOVE this direction you took... I think it would be great if you did similar videos on all of the directors you mentioned you admired: Kubrick, Malick, Kaufman, Fincher, etc... I would slurp it all up in a heartbeat. Peace and love. ✌🏽💜💫💫

Bunny, you look gorgeous. Laura Palmer speaking backwards, that is terrifying

this was fantastic

Lol. You did the wiggly-wavy hand thing that Lynch loves to do. I never saw HP Lovecraft besides some old black and white photos, but I somehow imagine that he would do the Lynch wiggly hand thing too, to describe the cosmic horror and fear of the infinite abysses that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life..

#KeepDoingWhatYouAreDoing #IBelieveInYou! =) =)

YESSSS! JEDI BUNNY is BACK!!!! Back in Blaaaaack!

How incredibly thoughtful and thorough your video was on David Lynch. I learned a lot. Bravo!

Truly mean to come back and watch this fully again, along with your video on personality tests. I will eventually, lol Hope things are going well buddy :)

This is a really great video, Kelly. I hope you do more of them. Have a great day!😊

So good to see you're back. Hope you're feeling better

My favourite director 👍

Kelly, you are within my Top 3 YouTubers. #JustSaying.

Hello Kelly! I hope you are doing well! I know you were in your cocoon for a bit, all good to stop & replenish! David Lynch is one of my faves as well. I saw Wild At Heart & I was like: WHOA. On to Dune & I was able to watch the original Twin Peaks. I get this awkward man's elegant work. BRAVO m' lady! Namaste. <3

My first David Lynch film was Dune when I was about 12/13 years old, even then I found his visual style intriguing and sought out the fee films he'd released at that point. Mulholland Drive is fantastic as is Inland Empire and Fire Walk With Me. I hope you do more videos as well as on Kubrick too.

Wonderful content as always Kelly, please do more videos like this😎👍👍 Thank you for sharing one of your many passions, it has been really quite a wonderful experience 😎👍👍 Finally caught up on your content now, been going through school to become a Heavy Equipment Operator & I’m finishing my last week now. Got my block two of two tests tomorrow & my final exam is on Friday😎👍👍
