David Lynch (1946-2025) - Short film "Fire" (2015) and some thoughts
There will always be imitators, some better than others. There will never be another David Lynch. One of the most original and most daringly process-oriented artists this shitbag of a country has ever produced. Anyway: 🔥 from David Lynch, you say? Did someone say to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly 🥪 with that ☕️ (Via YouTube)? Fire is an example of why I think many of us might have sometimes taken Lynch for granted. This is ten minutes that is, on the surface, disturbing nightmare fuel. It's a series of figures who do various things and tasks, starting with something out of a primordial cave drawing as a figure rubs what looks like a stick and starts a fire, and then other figures come in and dance and burn, a few floating figures that have an eyevall and like a sperm tail float around and there's what looks like a donut in the sky overlooking this backdrop that would make Edward Gorey raise an eyebrow, and what looks like a snowman's head melts and then... well, I shoul...
