35 Years of David Lynch presents a new holiday movie each day for 31 days, each reflecting a bizarre aspect of David Lynch's style and sensibilities. Looks like a lot of fun: "31 Lynchian Days of Christmas."

A strong article on the merits of watching David Lynch's films at the correct aspect ratio, filled with examples of beautiful shots from his movies that are destroyed when cropped for TV--even when cropped for wider screen HDTV! A beautiful article on film preservation/presentation, too.

Excerpt: "Last year we recommended you avoid using Netflix Instant Watching to view the David Lynch films Dune (1984) and Wild at Heart (1990) once we discovered they were presenting the movies in a different aspect ratio than their original theatrical presentations. We recently found a useful educational video below produced by cable station Turner Classic Movies (TCM). The video features several distinguished filmmakers explaining the importance of getting the technical detail of letterboxing right in our home video presentations. After reading our article and viewing the many examples we collected, you will better understand why every film should be seen as their directors originally intended."

Excerpt: "The video clip above is from a recent episode of the PBS Series America in Primetime titled The Misfit. Several respected TV creators and showrunners were interviewed and discuss David Lynch's seminal TV program Twin Peaks (1990-91) and its influence on them when it first aired. The segment features David Lynch, James Manos Jr. (The Sopranos / Dexter), Matthew Weiner (Mad Men), Diablo Cody (Juno / United States of Tara), David Chase (The Sopranos), Alan Ball (Six Feet Under / True Blood), and Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad)."

Dr. David Lynch's Movie Prescriptions

"Last month David Lynch received an honorary doctorate from his old alma mater the American Film Institute (AFI) Conservatory. He was honored alongside a fellow recipient, Mel Brooks, who as the producer of The Elephant Man (1980) helped usher David Lynch from relative cinematic obscurity into the Hollywood big leagues. So now that we have an excuse to call the visionary director "Dr. David Lynch," let's take a look at what movies the good doctor prescribes."

Lynch and Louie

"David Lynch guest starred on last night's episode of the FX comedy Louie (2010-Present). The episode was titled, "Late Show: Part 2." In the episode, the eponymous Louie (played by Louis C.K.) becomes Letterman's replacement as host of the Late Show. Louie's interactions with David Lynch appear to be comedic gold, as revealed in this series of stills courtesy of this recap. "
