its been way too long

In late 2001 david lynch made Mulholland Drive. His last major motion picture to date. in early 2002 the american occupation of Iraq began and a few months later victory was declared. here we are four years since David Lynch's last film and still america occupies Iraq. This may be a longwinded seemingly "unpatriotic" statement, but it just seems that when lynch's creative pool ceased to produce that this country lost all sense of direction. the madness was no longer contained, lynch's mind had exploded on the canvas of the world and the twisted nightmares within spilled out and burned the eyes of a collective. we no longer drank in moderation, now it was shots and beers to the fallen...as much weed as we could fill our heads with and destruction on a mass scale. The summer makes the blood too thick, completely hostile and unforgiving even in this windy city...like the chicano riots of '71. ugly and brutish...all pipes and mace. the other half completely literary and theory-based. we have a connundrum, "when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro", Hunter knew how to handle these things- and once again the high water mark of a generation can be seen from the peaks of hills - we see where we were going and how the wave finally broke and destroyed hopes alientated black and white and arab. The weird simply poured from lynch and drowned the world in chaos - the only way the world survives is if lynch scoops his dark thoughts back into that goddamn surreal skull of his and pulls us out...no war is won by the twisted and half mad.
