Saw Eraserhead in one of those local theaters that used to exist...interesting but did not blow me away. A while later, saw Blue Velvet with poker buddies...it did blow me away and we quoted lines to each other for a long time. After that, Twin Peaks showed up on TV and there had never been network TV like that. Decades later it showed up again on Showtime, and it went well beyond the original into complete surrealism. That was his peak for me. But I saw most, not all, of his movies over the years. Just recently caught up with Straight Story and he did heartfelt sentimentalism his own way and I loved it. He was often on our LA public radio station, and he was always filled with positivity toward life and art the world. There will not be another like him.
