Says the eminent filmmaker David Lynch, speaking from his L.A. workshop:

More David Lynch theater here.

And, as Lynch works on his your-RYE-nall, "in the meantime I really enjoy hearing what you all are working on."; 5/31/20, 10:28 AM

rehajm said...: While ur-rye- nal appears adequate for accuracy, volume could be a bit of a problem...

If the upper sink were 10 feet wide it would be the legendary Fenway Park trough.; 5/31/20, 11:39 AM

If designed just right, it could be unisex.; 5/31/20, 11:41 AM

P.S. I watched the whole David Lynch documentary before I realized he wasn't the Talking Heads guy.; 5/31/20, 12:20 PM

hstad said...: Luke21 said..."...Movies have really gone downhill now that actors and crews are socially distancing...?" Really, how long have we been "..socially distancing..." versus how long has the industry produced superior "Movies". I think you'll lose out on such an arguement! Having been in banking and lent to the "Movies" [industry] my experience is that the vast majority of all movies (in excess of 95%) do not make a profit.; 5/31/20, 2:35 PM
