Yes I am still fully consumed with the loss of David Lynch -- don't expect this fire to die down any time soon. Sorry to belabor that metaphor and not to be morbid but given it's Lynch I think he would be interested in this himself -- I found myself thinking about his career-long fascination with fire and smoke ("Fire Walk With Me" et cetera) this morning, and the fact that it appears his death came about because of the combination of his previously revealed emphysema from years of chain smoking plus that being exacerbated by the Los Angeles wildfires and his having to be evacuated from his home because of them a few days ago and... well it's comsic and it's eerie, the way all of this is adding up. I miss him so much y'all. The world feels so much shittier knowing he's not out there.

While we are mourning the loss of David Lynch, let us also take a moment to mourn the death of Dame Joan Plowright. She was a great actress, which Laurence Olivier recognized early in her career. She was the one who helped him get over the difficulties of dealing with Vivien Leigh after she was diagnosed as bipolar. She eventually gave up her career to be Lady Olivier and became the mother of his three children. Following his death, she resumed her career, appearing in such films as Tea With Mussolini, Enchanted April and Tea With the Dames, until she lost her sight. She will be missed as well.
