I want to hear Kyle Maclachlan talk about movies for hours! 7 minutes is not enough!

get david lynch next

Hearing Kyle talk about how making films with David Lynch isn't even work for him is so wholesome, and it shows. Whenever I see him in a film by Lynch I know he's gonna be great.

Kyle is a great actor and seems like a kind and decent human-being.

The fact that Dougie Jones was inspired by Peter Sellers’ performance makes it even more lovable.

I'm just obsessed with the fact that at 0:16 a cup randomly appears in his hand and then just as randomly disappears. Very Agent Cooper-y and in the best traditions of David Lynch

Just heard the very sad news of the passing of director David Lynch (Thursday January 16th 2025)

Can imagine that the internet/ social media will be flooded with tributes and heartfelt retrospectives on Lynch’s work

May he rest in peace

I've seen Lynch speak at the University of Pennsylvania Archaeology Museum in Philadelphia, while promoting Transcendental Meditation.
He refused to speak about movies...but was appropriately hilarious!!!
When a woman in the audience asked: "While you seem to be promoting such a deep, and peaceful form of practice....your films focus on characters who delve into the darkest crevices of human violence. How can you explain such divergent messages???"
Lynch paused and replied: "You know....that is a veeeerrryyy intereeeesting queeeeesstion................"

I had the pleasure of meeting Kyle at a convention years ago. I can call him Kyle because he told me to. Funny story: When I first met him, I could only call him Mr. MacLachlan, both because of the high esteem I have for his work, but also because of my Southern upbringing. I called him Mr. MacLachlan a couple of times before he said, with a bright smile, "No, no... call me Kyle." And I said, "Sir, I was raised in the South. I don't believe I can do that." he laughed and we went on to have a very pleasant conversation about wine. Thank you for the muscadine wine recommendations, Sir!

The man really picked a movie starring himself. Absolute legend!

So cool to hear him bring up Peter Sellers - an actor who played multiple characters at once in Dr. Strangelove - as an inspiration during The Return.

“You know, this is – excuse me – a damn fine Closet Picks. I've watched I can't tell you how many Closet Pick in my life, and this – this is one of the best.” “Damn good Closet Picks. And hot!”

5:17 the mental image of Anthony Hopkins doing a David Lynch impression made my night. 😂

Hearing David wanted Kyle for Blue Velvet after Dune flopped is so heartwarming. He rlly was his Muse💙

Twin Peaks saved me over and over again. Agent Cooper will always be my hero. The perfect human being—integrity, empathy, intuition, intellect, compassion, sensitivity, justice. I love you, Agent Cooper. Always and forever.

Kyle MacLachlan is a great actor. Not only did he NOT fail David Lynch's Dune, I think he's one of the main reasons we still talk about that film today. Dune failed because of the studio. The "ingredients" were there, but the "recipe" (aka producers) was flawed. It's so cool that David Lynch didn't turn his back on cinema after Dune, but he started right away on a project that he was passionate about and executed it flawlessly. As Kyle says, they just did what they do best, they were in their comfort zones and it shows. And also huge credits to Laura Dern in Blue Velvet. Her performance was legendary as always.

Agent Cooper is one of my favorite characters of all time. Love Kyle MacLachlan!

Such a shame it’s only 7:20. I’d dig an hour!

Damn fine picks.

'The Hidden" was a great and much underrated sci-fi movie.
