David Lynch suffers from emphysema, no longer able to direct in person

Damn

Damn. Sorry to hear that.

That's tough, wish him luck. I remember reading David Foster Wallace's essay in A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again about Lynch filming Lost Highway and that he was an avid smoker of American Spirit.

This sucks, but somehow; thinking about him directing his future movies through a TV and separate speaker seems on brand

I am yet to see his 90s films ... but watching through twin peaks a few years ago and then watching twin peaks season 3 was one of my all time favourite screen/cinema experiences. Easily one of my favourite film makers ... no one quite does what he does and its wonderful!
