I never got the hate for his version of Dune, if anything I think it's better than the drawn out slightly boring Nolan version.

Absolutely a once in a generation maverick. What a body of work he leaves behind. Twin Peaks was the most compelling TV I've ever watched. And his version of Dune was superb, despite all the naysayers.

RIP man, stay weird wherever you're headed.

He more or less disowned it and it's generally agreed that most of the fault lies with the producers. I thought it was OK but I started from a position where I knew the story pretty well. Some of the cast were great...but Sting..really? Mostly enjoyed the recent 2 efforts.

When he stuck to what he was best at nobody could touch him*. (Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks). They were all a bit toned down from Eraserhead though. :wtf:

* although Wim Wenders got close at times :D

Had a message from my younger daughter about his death - she asked if we could watch Twin Peaks.

Looking forward to it (yes, I've already seen it).

There's a stand alone phrase that can be useful in its own right.

Realised he was last man standing but made it to 87. :thumbup:

(Which means I found out that Robbie Robertson died in 2023. :( Contact from the Underworld of Redboy is a favourite).

I played Cahoots and The Music from Big Pink to death in my youth.

Rest easy last Band man.
