He'd been seriously ill, housebound with emphysema for the last year, so not a shock but still a loss. A few people here seemed to enjoy his stuff and get something from it. Not all of his work was perfect, but it had (many, many) moments of genius that few film and TV directors achieve, and it was never boring. I'm a huge fan of Eraserhead, Mulholland drive, Blue Velvet, Elephant Man, Dune, Twin Peaks and so on. <br /> <br /> Bring on the TV tributes and movie seasons.<br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43084.1&return_msg=43084.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43084.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43084_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_43084_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Drew (X3N0PH0N)<span class="message_time">17 Jan 13:58</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Jan 16:18"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43084.2">43084.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43084.1#a43084_1" target="_self">43084.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yup.

As the saying goes, all artists borrow, great artists steal. He certainly breathed life into a stodgy and formulaic industry, thus spawning a new wave of Lynchian templates to chew on. I don't think he was nearly as weird or radical or louche as, say, Ken Russell (and many others).</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43084.7&return_msg=43084.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43084.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43084_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_43084_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time">18 Jan 17:16</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 18 Jan 17:38"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 17</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43084.8">43084.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43084.1#a43084_7" target="_self">43084.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I think he had a lot of fun with what he did.
