“This in my opinion is what any product company should strive for. Make useful things for people. Make them high-quality and durable. Make them so that if and when a thing wear down, people will want to replace it with the exact same thing. Repeat the cycle.” — Brad Frost

Producing durable products is a necessity. I think it’s unrealistic to think that we can solve the climate change crisis without changing the paradigm of industrial production.

Lynch then embarked on another noirish project, the opaque and surreal murder-mystery Twin Peaks that – unusually for notable film directors of the period – was envisioned as a TV series;Lynch developed it with former Hill Street Blues writer Mark Frost. A mix of small town comedy, police procedural and surreal dreamworld, and described as “the most hauntingly original work ever done for American TV” — Andrew Pulver

I still believe that the Twin Peaks series was something unique in the history of television. In another article in The Guardian, journalist Peter Bradshaw called Lynch “the great American surrealist who made experimentalism mainstream”. I couldn’t have said it better myself.
