"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
 
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
 
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
 
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
 
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
 
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
 
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
 
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
 
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.

It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

Been working on a bio-pic-adjacent script for awhile, and at every turn have to ask the walk hard question.

every music biopic should ask itself two questions. the first is "wait, is this just Walk Hard?" the second is "how can I do the opposite of every single thing that Bohemian Rhapsody did"

A #Noirvember defense of Hal Ashby's 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE for @bwdr.bsky.social:

"This boozebruised slab of salvation is a minor masterpiece, not in spite of its recklessly freewheeling pub crawl throughout neo-noir's genre tics, but *because* of it."
