Stimulating text from Rory Carroll who gathers insights into all manner of subjects from combined arts master David Lynch. Thanks for sharing this excellent piece on a humid Saturday morning, Carl. 
"In Room To Dream, Lynch says he used to be angry and thought this gave his work an edge. Then he took up transcendental meditation (TM), lost the anger and gained better focus. He has evangelised about TM ever since, dedicating his book to the late Indian guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi “and the world family”. Sceptics take note: this highly caffeinated, pack-a-day smoker is possibly the least jittery person in Hollywood.
He also believes in reincarnation, which keeps him Zen about growing old and losing friends and colleagues, including Twin Peaks: The Return collaborators Harry Dean Stanton, Miguel Ferrer and Catherine Coulson (the Log Lady), all of whom have died since filming. “Life is a short trip but always continuing,” he says, tapping ash. “We’ll all meet again. In enlightenment you realise what you truly are and go into immortality. You don’t ever have to die after that.”

These days, I tend do dislike Lynch more and more. Twin Peaks revival was unmitigated disaster and a profound disappointment to me as a major admirer of the original.

I haven't enjoyed anything I've seen from David Lynch since 'Mulholland Dr.' (2001). Couldn't agree more about the 'Twin Peaks' revival - I'll stick with the original series. |

I haven't enjoyed anything I've seen from David Lynch since 'Mulholland Dr.' (2001). Couldn't agree more about the 'Twin Peaks' revival - I'll stick with the original series. It's like I was watching a different series. For some reason, creators decided to forsake all the qualities which made the original so good and replace it with an excessively bleak and humourless fusion of Eraserhead and Inland Empire. Definitely not what I wanted and expected from the revival as a legitimate continuation of the world of the old series. I agree with you on his post Mulholland Dr. output, although I'm divided on his previous work. I love The Elephant Man / The Straight Story/Mulholland Dr. and dislike Eraserhead and Wild at Heart. |

Lots of unnecessary filler in the new 'Twin Peaks' too. I heard they were told at short notice to pad out the series for advertising revenue by creating several additional episodes. |

I love both the original and the revival. It's definitely a different show, more in debt to INLAND EMPIRE than the original series. The final episode was one of my personal favorite things he's done. Did you like Fire Walk With Me? |

Did you like Fire Walk With Me? I like 'Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me' but I don't like 'Inland Empire'. It took me a while but I've grown to love INLAND EMPIRE enough to rank it among his best work, but then there is very little of Lynch's film and television work I don't like. |

His hair should mate with Trump's hair and produce a litter of real life Tribbles.

Shortly after tweeting, Trump quipped during a rally with supporters in South Carolina: "There goes his career in Hollywood."
Looks like Hollywood's politburo told Lynch to correct his thinking.
