Kyle gave me a funny reply when asked about his hair.

He used to say the lack of factory landscapes made it impossible, but the extent to which The Return dived into CGI makes me think he would be open to doing something with heavy digital manipulation. Of course creating an entire Eraserhead world on green screen might be pretty expensive tho.sneakydave wrote:Would he do Ronnie Rocket now do you think? Given that he script has been out there for so long and certain elements seem to have been incorporated into The Return?
As someone who’s been graying since my late teens, I appreciate that response!krishnanspace wrote:

The filming of The Return was almost five years ago (yeah, shocking, but there it is), the writing of it way before that. I've seen Lynch's recent photos/videos (from the last year) and he looks much more out of shape than he did when The Return was being made.Mr. Reindeer wrote:I don’t know about “old and frail.” Whether you liked it or not, TP:TR was undeniably a Herculean endeavor that would have been impossible for many younger filmmakers. Sure, he’s not churning out films, but I think that’s more due to a combination of lack of funding, lack of ideas he’s passionate about, and a concentration on other artistic endeavors in other media. I don’t see any evidence of any physical issues.
I don’t think anyone can really pass judgment on someone’s physical wellbeing based on photos. And being out of shape doesn’t really bear on his ability to direct...it’s not like he’s a bodybuilder. For the most part, the director sits in a chair and gives orders. All he needs is the energy to go the distance, to handle the long hours and stress of shooting. No one can say if he still has that or not, but I see no reason to assume he doesn’t if he were so inclined.Agent Earle wrote:The filming of The Return was almost five years ago (yeah, shocking, but there it is), the writing of it way before that.

I don't see it but if it truly were the case, it would be entirely due to having read through the disappointed thread.Agent Earle wrote:The filming of The Return was almost five years ago (yeah, shocking, but there it is), the writing of it way before that.

I can't say for sure either way, so I'm choosing to go with the interpretation you haven't just made a personal accusation directed towards me but took the opportunity for some welcome comic relief. Hey, I've always been a fan of black humour, so kudos to you!Mr. Strawberry wrote:I don't see it but if it truly were the case, it would be entirely due to having read through the disappointed thread.Agent Earle wrote:The filming of The Return was almost five years ago (yeah, shocking, but there it is), the writing of it way before that.

Speculating on one's health from photo ops is a bit .. skeevy. But, he definitely lost a lot of weight in his face over the past couple years (seems to be mostly the past year or so though). Whether that's a health issue, which noticeable weight loss can be, a diet, more exercise, who the hell knows. He could be healthy as a horse, I'm not a doctor. But, just for sake of people asking why people seem to think he looks frail. Here's hoping he lives past 100.NormoftheAndes wrote:Agent Earle - please provide photo evidence of your claims. Lynch has not looked exactly healthy now for about 15 years or more anyway.
Thanks, Rudagger, that's what I had in mind. I guess it's in the eye of the beholder, anyway, I mean I obviously don't have his medical chart, but I can't shake the feeling the man's not well (for instance, the already mentioned Clint Eastwood, who's some 15 years older than Lynch, looks way more sprightly than Lynch). And for the record, I wish that we'll still be having this conversation 20 years from now (not in the ghoulish sense by any means ). And now I'm moving on.Rudagger wrote:Speculating on one's health from photo ops is a bit .. skeevy.
