She's such a unique presence in whatever show she is ever in.
That cashier accidentally made her have a meltdown by insisting there weren't any beef jerkies when there were lots of beef jerkies!
Maybe in a future episode she'll meet Carl.
Lynch should make a movie with the two of them as the stars before they die.

I suspect Cooper will never get better, but they'll still find him and he'll use his psychic abilities from the Lodge to solve crimes for the F.B.I.

I agree what you write about Lynch being a proponent of post-protestant deism but don't understand the Stephen King connection in terms of Lynch doing a self-conscious homage to King.
Would Lynch be a King fan? (I could be wrong but I suspect Lynch isn't a big reader). I do know he shows a Kafka photo in Cole's office

I think it might just be the effects of living in a house with two gangsters that won't let her talk. An odd effect happens to our minds when we don't speak for a while. It effects some people more than others. Candy easily slips into a meditative state and has a hard time getting out of it. Some people appear to be a

Imagine that instead of a fine artist, David Lynch was an underwater plumber.
Someone didn't understand Twin Peaks.
so instead of being a fine artist, I was actually an underwater plumber and realized that the person might understand more if they understood a little bit of the mindset of an underwater plumber's way of

Or better yet, take the example of Kafka because he had the poster of Kafka on the wall and Lynch's work can be said to be Kafkaesque, you can say Kafka's work isn't art according to your definition.
Kafka's novels and stories were completely self indulgent and that is what makes them great art.
His novels are poor in

This made me think about artists that were the firsts of their kind. My example is different but the same idea. The Stooges. They were the first all out punk band and they were the best in this undefinable way that only innovators have. They have this something extra that can't be imitated.
Hendrix was the same.
People

Your definition of art seems to be, "if I like it and it is excellent, it is art."
There is truly a world of thought around this question.
Art does not mean "high quality and well thought out." It can be but it isn't what makes it art.

No, I accepted that people may not see it as art and my outlook would not make sense in that case. I wrote that. It is always this question in art, "is it art?"
I am not the one to say what is art but I made the case that this is because it has been commented that this is Eraser head Lynch a lot and I personally am

This is difficult to explain but I will try. There is no apologist thinking from me at all.
There are two types of movies. Entertainment movie and art movie. It isn't clear-cut though. Very few film directors make A*R*T movies. Eraserhead, as an example was a full blown A*R*T-movie. Twin Peaks Return is often said to

I'm listening to Robert Fripp and Adrian Belew Today.
Here's the best cover version of a Jimi Hendrix song I've ever heard:https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Hendrix was great, and I love long guitar solos. I always get depressed at the notion that there are artists that can never be equaled though. Some classical music fans will have us believe that Beethoven has never been equaled. He was incredible but don't we have a bunch of modern musicians that equaled his output? I

The budget would've been easy enough. Just clear the streets of people. It could've been really low-budget. Last Man on Earth probably doesn't have much of a budget. No people is cheaper than people.
My personal suspicion is that Lindelof is afraid of his fans and feels the pressure. I read an interview where he

Also think about Brigg's greatest fear, the possibility that love is not enough. In Blue Velvet, Sandy had her robin's speech in front of a church window (with organ music?) I'm pretty sure Lynch isn't a Christian but those themes are in the movies in very overt ways. Think of the lyrics he writes for his movie songs

It wasn't a lack of imagination because they had the idea. I wonder what made Lindelof tell it rather than show it? An extra episode to show it would've been nice because I love the idea. It would have been so visually powerful.

You say without explaining? I must be misunderstanding your intentions too. I'm sorry. Maybe I'm just too sensitive about my art, but I'm interpreting your comment to be condescending for no particular reason.
Did one of my comments bother you?
Maybe if you tried to explain all these levels that you say you understand

Me too.
Oh… she's in Australia.
Some people just hate it when a story believes in its own spiritualism. some people still insist that the Shining is merely psychological. Stories aren't real, so why not?

I thought the 2% world was a much better story than the one we got with Kevin pretending to not remember her too. The 2% story would have been so dramatic. I didn't actually guess that the people 'raptured' would have been the bigger victims. It would have been as traumatic as the first season episodes.
Too bad we saw

Lynch's work can be a bit of a rorschach test.
Yeah, Mulholland Drive has no redeeming love but Betty was broken by her obsessive love wasn't she? Fred Madison had that problem too. I have to watch that one again!
You might think the idea of love being magic to be conventional but the way Lynch does it in Ronnie Rocket

I'm sorry if I offended you. I didn't mean to! Maybe my word choice was clumsy.
Actually, I read the script to Ronnie Rocket a few days ago and Lynch has 'love' saving people as a major theme. Love is bonafide magic!
There were black coated people with electric prods and electricity in the air zapping people to death.
