I saw the wonderful and magical @PJHarveyUK at @flowfestival yesterday. After the show, I had the pleasure of meeting Polly and thanking her for giving us the license to use Prayer at the Gate in Alan Wake 2. A perfect song for the story. She's brilliant and lovely. @alanwake

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire.
I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern.
Love,
David
It is happening again
The first issue of @SightSoundmag I bought was the 1997 David Lynch issue, so it’s a thrill to put him on the cover for the first time as editor
In a brilliant interview he talks candidly to @sjwigley about whether he’s made his last film 👀
Out next week

8 years of the king's return to Japan. On July 29th, 2016, Hideaki Anno and @shinji_higuchi's Shin Godzilla was released in Japanese theaters and became an instant classic. This day will always be special to me. One that will stay with me for the rest of my life. #ShinGodzilla8
"I think money is shit. You know… how much you spend on a thing… If I spend a couple thousand dollars on sushi for two, I don’t feel guilty about that. I do find that my happiest moments on the road are not standing on the balcony of a really nice hotel. That’s a sort of bittersweet—if not melancholy—alienating experience, at best. My happiest moments on the road are always off-camera, generally with my crew, coming back from shooting a scene and finding ourselves in this sort of absurdly beautiful moment, you know, laying on a flatbed on those things that go on the railroad track, with a putt-putt motor, goin’ across like, the rice paddies in Cambodia with headphones on… this is luxury, because I could never have imagined having the freedom or the ability to find myself in such a place, looking at such things.
To sit alone or with a few friends, half-drunk under a full moon, you just understand how lucky you are; it’s a story you can’t tell. It’s a story you almost by definition, can’t share. I’ve learned in real time to look at those things and realize: I just had a really good moment."
