David Lynch is one of the best filmmakers ever in the history of films and making things. He’s also, as evidenced by his entire body of work, a very weird guy. He used to do Los Angeles weather reports on his YouTube channel every day for years. These were usually like a minute long and consisted of him just saying what the weather was like at his house at that moment. We love it. And true to form, he’s also a delightful weirdo when it comes to cryptic promotion.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, Lynch posted to his Twitter (never X) account that *something* would drop on the Fifth of June for us to “see and hear.”
Now, naturally the most optimistic among us will hope it’s a trailer for a new season of Twin Peaks or a new movie. Or, hell, it could be just one of those things, dropping outright. But Lynch also loves to add portent to very not exciting things. He once announced in one of his weather reports that he’d have a special announcement in a few days. It ended up being, initially, that he was going to stop doing the weather reports, but people were so excited about what his announcement could be that he decided to keep doing the weather reports…
So what we’re saying is David Lynch is going to David Lynch. It might be a new music video, it might be just the return of the weather reports. We truly don’t know. Watch the skies, I guess, on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.
