Eraserhead
the last time I watched this movie was on film at the Metrograph in New York.
my boyfriend at the time had surprised me with tickets knowing this was one of my favorite films. His name was Brandon, and before that day, he had never seen a single David Lynch film, really he didn't even know who he was at all: all he knew was that I loved him.
He spent most of the runtime watching me watch the film and I did my best to ignore it. Sneaking a glimpse of his reactions to the screen when I could.
We talked about it the rest of the afternoon and by night he was a fan.
The art David made was for everyone; it was beautiful and layered, thought provoking and enduring. The art David made was transcendent of genre. Truly, a singular talent like we may never see again.
Watching this one for you today. 🕊️🤍
in heaven, everything is fine. you've got your good things, and i've got mine.
