What a fantastic story about Lynch! I have been a fan since Wild at Heart and have seen most of his movies in the theatre. The Straight Story is one that most people don’t remember, but it is really good.💕

Gotta agree with crispy bacon.

I love The Straight Story!!!! That last scene with Richard Farnsworth & Harry Dean Stanton ... just so beautiful and true.

I love that your experience with David Lynch was completely Lynchian.

Man, I LOVED this post! The juxtaposition of a creative who makes weird, deeply disturbing films speaking of something so banal as his (delicious!!) sandwich preferences is sublime! Thank you for publishing this! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna make a chicken salad sandwich, chopped quite finely, with golden raisins, toasted pecans, celery, a bit of onion, and curried mayo on buttered toasted Publican Quality multigrain bread. With a touch more mayo, and perhaps some arugula if we have it...

Oooh! The arugula addition is inspired. Enjoy!! And thanks so much for reading and commenting.

As far out as his movies are, it’s encouraging how down to earth and unpretentious Lynch appeared in interviews. For me, Lost Highway is my favorite.

Oh my gosh, I’m so with him on all the particularities. Especially: Everything should be contained and not spilling out. I also love that he plans his day around when the milk shake at Bob‘s Big Boy will be just the right texture, I totally plan my life around stuff like that!
