I don’t want to derail this thread with how overrated I think Lynch is


I get that, but I will say, IMHO, Lynch is (was?) a fantastic director of other people's material, particularly The Elephant Man and Dune.

I like him. I do get that folks are turned off by the "Lynchian strangeness" that pervades his original works, but Dune was a brilliant (compromised by all the limitations surrounding a feature film) and beautifully flawed adaptation of the material, and with that said:

...as well.

It’s not the weirdness that gets me.

He survives on the “that is intentional” excuse, for example I find the acting corny or the score/music overbearing in twin peaks. Everyone always say it’s intentional but I don’t care, it ruins the show for me.

I have watched enough of his stuff to know there is greatness in his work but it’s just not my brand of weird.
