I did get one meeting. I met with a producer over at Universal Studios who had had some kind of a hit film. And he’d heard something about Eraserhead. And he brought me in and he said, “What do you got?”
And I said, “Well, I’ve got a story called Ronnie Rocket.”
And he said, “What’s it about?”
I said, “It’s about a guy who’s three feet tall, has a red pompadour, and runs on alternating current electricity.”
And the guy asked me to leave his office.

Room to Dream par David Lynch

As a cinephile and a fan of Lynch's work, this part-biography part-memoir is truly awe-inspiring. Not only does it over the nuts and bolts expected from a retrospective (everything from Lynch's first love to his decision to make Twin Peaks: The Return are covered here), but the sections Lynch writes offer an emotional resonance that is not common in these types of books.

Room to Dream par David Lynch

We listened to the audiobook... what a goofy yet delightful mess. I found it interesting learning about the context of David's life when he was a boy and some of the smaller projects he's done that we'll now have to dig a bit to find and check out. The book does drag often at parts though and David's sections are just a rambling, jumbly mess--but still, you listen--because David Lynch is just that kind of guy. As the book mentions, no one really stays neutral on the subject of Lynch you either love him or you hate him, there's no in between.… (plus d'informations)
