Myself changes from experiences and thinking long and hard enough to form different views. My taste might not, but change is inevitable. Even sometimes by force or death. I find this to be a sucker's endeavor.

Being highly intelligent is undeniably a blessing and a curse.

There is great irony in the statement about artists being entirely themselves while, looking back, being the definition of a child of the times - aesthetically as well as philosophically.

David Foster Wallace is gay

You're telling me that's not Ryan Reynolds twin brother?

how can a guy who likes to talk about being entirely yourself while looking like axle rose be credible?

RIP David Foster Wallace you would've loved Lil B the BasedGod

Thank you so much. Being passionate about what you love or are makes amazing art. Someone may not get it but those that do it resonates. I am not upset with John Molaney. I just wish the world had empathy for my life. I’m sure they are sad to see me struggle

Being enitely yourself being Axl Rose

Ryan Reynolds’s is born to play David Foster Wallace

I miss you. Never knew you when you were here. I am still trying to distill you. I am still trying to make Sense because of you. Thank you, where ever you are.

What does avant- guard mean?

Axl Rose

"What the really great artists do is they're entirely themselves. They've got their own vision, their own way of fracturing reality, and if it's authentic and true, you will feel it in your nerve endings." - David Foster Wallace In a world that constantly asks us to conform, the art of being authentic becomes a true revolution. What is your vision of the world? How do you express it through your creativity? #DavidFosterWallace #art #authenticity #creativity #inspiration

Glad I'm not him.

It strikes me to think that DFW, had he been born only a few decades later, might have been one of these guys who make UA-cam video essays instead of a book writer. You can tell he likes getting more straight to the point philosophically in a way, whereas with novels they kind of beat around the bush. I wonder how his career trajectory might have changed if that was his avenue of expression rather than literature.

After reading "This is Water," I can't stop asking why? How? It just doesn't make sense that this brilliant man would kill himself.

"Wear a bandana"

I’ve been inspired by Axl Rose before but I had no idea he was so literate when it comes to art and filmmaking!

francophonicity.

Whoa Axl's talking voice is crazy

Says the guy who looks like Axl Rose

David was super bright and Infinite Jest is one of my favorite novels of all time, but as much as I agree with David about Blue Velvet, I think David Lynch owes a debt not just to Hitchcock but to other directors who dabbled in surrealism as well, such as Luis Bunuel, Maya Deren, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Jean Cocteau, Federico Fellini, Alain Resnais, Nicolas Roeg, Jean Epstein, Jean-Luc Godard and many others. This is not to take away the incredible esteem I have for Blue Velvet which is a highly intellectual, artistic and entertaining film.

The biggest phony in the world discusses being yourself.

for a guy talking about being himself, he sure looks like he is trying to be 90's Axl. maybe he just means the rest of us should be ourselves?

Another one who killed himself.

Axyl Rose has let himself go.

Imagine looking to someone else to teach you how to be yourself. ROFL

GREAT

Too cool to watch the video, but “how to be entirely yourself” implies that the individual is in control and can even possibly NOT be “entirely themselves.” It’s a back door ego trip. How can you possibly be anything other than what you are?!? 😂 The hard part is accepting the ride for what it is. If you desire to control the ride, you’ll end up hanging yourself in frustration!

David Lynch's movies give me the same feeling I get when I'm dreaming and I'm running in slow motion, but everything around me is moving in real-time.

Drowning in analysis.

Platitudinous vapidity sounds so enlightened coming from a spoiled rich kid!

What an asshole! He hung himself half an hour before his wife was due home from work, so that she could discover him dead with his pants full of shit.

Taking advice from a suicide ?

Ryan Renolds

David tried heroically to be himself, right up to committing suicide.

imagining

i felt blue velvet in my nerve endings thats for sure

This guy is like if Bill Hicks went to Woodstock, did a hit of acid and stopped being funny

what the hell?

Interesting... I believe it was either Sid Vicious or Johnny Rotten that was being interviewed about the word/label, "punk"... The interviewer asked him what he thought about people calling him a punk, and he said he doesn't mind it... He said he's just his own unique, individuated self... And now we have people wearing the black, patches, studs, spikes, combat boots, spikey hair, etc... They just mimic the image and the unruly behavior... They are not unique or individuated or thinking for themselves at all! Then, before you know it, "punk" is a costume, uniform/dress code, or facade... The antithesis of what any of the first "punks" were.

It's clear he was burdened

Art is subjective. You will always have people who like what you do, and those who don't. Concentrate on the people who like your creations.

This dude stabbed himself in the heart. What a goofball.

Postmodern shit so boring and empty - love David Lynch and this loser is BS imposed with a kerchief on his dome

If that bandana and glasses was himself he should try being someone else 😂

David Lynch is a true surrealist in that he does his best to get rid of conscious filters. He takes what he imagines in his subconscious mind and tries to find a way to slap it up on a screen. It's not his job to figure out "what it means." He doesn't care. He's sharing what he sees. "Blue Velvet" is watered-down, candy-coated, half-committed Lynch (compared to "Eraserhead" before it and "Lost Highway, "Mulholland Dr." and "Inland Empire" afterwards), but it has its moments -- when it's not nudging and winking at the audience to assure them that it's only kidding (Sandy's vision of light and the cutesy bird/bug stuff at the end, for example). It has huge debts to Buñuel (the ants and the ear are straight out of "Un Chien Andalou"), "Night of the Hunter," the surrealism of Peter Greenaway ( "Draughtsman's Contract," "A Zed and Two Noughts") the melodramas of Douglas Sirk, and loads of film noir -- but it succeeded in inspiring some other artists for a while in the mid-1980s, so good on it for that. I think it's one of Lynch's least interesting and ambitious movies, though.
