David Lynch died yesterday which was terrible news. I have written dozens of short movie reviews here and may have even uploaded ones of Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet. They are both great movies, unlike most I have seen, you actively think about them for hours on end and can have valid interpretations that differ a lot from others. I haven't watched much of him, I'll write a review of twin peaks once I start that.

This weekend is ufc 311, this is the best card of the year and features the absolute pinnacle of mixed martial arts. The main event is Islam Makhachev taking on Arman Tsarukyan in a rematch 5 years in the making. Islam is the best mma fighter on the planet alive, period. Technically, tactically and defensively sound, very different from his teammate and now coach Khabib Nurmagomedov. Khabib was a freak physical athlete like his current opponent Arman though I favor Islam. These two alongside Ilia Topuria represent a better future for the sport where people are not just gopd athletes but also very sound with their fundamentals.

David Lynch died yesterday which was terrible news.

It felt weird to find out about his passing via a post on /r/guitar. I didn't know he was a guitarist, nevermind that he played a Parker Fly. The man was as eccentric in his choice there as in his movies.

I learned about this from a buddy who learned about it from some hipster goth cashier chick at the Dollar Tree on his lunch break. He didn’t snap a candid photo of her like I asked.

We’re going to revisit his short films this weekend.
