I've tried to get into it about 3 times and get bored and annoyed by the pointless surrealism every time. I actually like surrealism, but he always put it in needless places.

Season 1 and half of season 2 were good, but apparently Lynch had a moid diva moment and got mad because the audience (and then the network) told him to reveal the killer. He got mad, and the second half of 2 killed the show. It was frickin awful lol. He apparently wanted to make the whole show about the mystery of her murder, but nobody wanted that shit but David.
Season 3 happened 25 years later in the story, and it was awful. His peepee suckers loved it, but he answered no questions and it's like it's just a show where everyone takes LSD and nothing makes sense.

Did you like Twin Peaks, carp? It was the first Rated R movie my mom took me to so FWWM has a special place in my heart.

That's actually so funny. Such a fricking dark film with teenage drug use and incestuous r*pe and what not. And so different from the tone of the show. I'd have been fricked up by that as a kid!

You're forgetting that Kyle MacLachlan started dating Donna's actress during production and she decided to be a massive c*nt and demand that Cooper not get with Audrey which is why they had to introduce Annie and Billy Zane's character out of nowhere and waste an ungodly amount of time on them. Season 2's behind the scenes were really something.

Oh shit I didn't know that! I wanted Cooper and Audrey to get together too! Now I need to go read about it.

That was the whole point of the show though. The murder mystery was a plot device too bring attention too all the little goings on in the town the show was named after. Little self-contained stories that bring you into the characters lives and show you that all lives, even trans lives matter

Yes, it was great season 1 but time to wrap it up, Lynch.

The Return and Fire Walk with Me are great. Original series is uneven.

This is correct. S1 is wonderful imo but S2 falls apart after Lynch exited. FWWM and The Return are absolute highest level achievements though.

Yeah his stuff was just more weird than good and knows how to make cinematography nauseating. He's functionally the Donnie Darko director, except with a couple bangers.

I'm more of a Michael Bay transformers and Len Wiseman Resident Evil kind of guy.
If I want to feel nauseated, weird, and pretentious, I'll watch some disgusting John Waters movie. It'll just make me vomit all the way instead of that kitty footing around and RANDOM (uh, it's not random) Lynch does.

Nobody does surreal las good as Bunuel. Idk why but watching a Lynch film always makes me feel like I'm watching something very imaginative but devoid of a soul.

How so?
And what would you recommend of Bunuel?

Lynch's characters feel like they written by an mega neurodivergent—which they indeed were. I can't take them seriously. They feel like an alien's surface level understanding of human beings…just gets old after a while. I can usually tolerate that stuff if I find it funny, but I just find Lynch tedious. I agree with the dramacel upthread, give me John Waters weirdness any day over Lynch's.
Belle De Jour is probably the best starting point for Bunuel.

I dunno... Looks like typical French crap, but I'll give it a try.
!Kino, Bunuel or David Lynch. Which is better?

I hate to take the bait like this but John Waters and David Lynch have wildly different goals. Lynch is really not trying to shock/provoke/nauseate like Waters is. I love John Waters dearly though, Female Trouble is one of the funniest movies ever made.

This is cope. He doesn't do it as explicitly as Waters, but Lynch is like one of those weird sound pitches that makes your skin crawl and shit your pants or a fun house that's painted in these weird angles so you keep tipping over even though everything seems normal at first glance. But it's on purpose.
80% of people I've met in real life who love David Lynch have been the most insufferable r-slurs that seem like adult versions of teenage hardcore Donnie Darko fans. Lynch was a great dramatard in real life, and I think most of what he filmed was just to frick with people.
