In the most awesome non-Obama related story this week, cult director/artist David Lynch is planning a new web series based on his book about his experience with transcendental meditation, Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness and Creativity. On Networks is wooing Lynch for the yet-to-be-determined series, along with Amy Poehler and some other names they apparently picked out of a hat.
Lynch is a weird guy like that: he is a total pacifist, and built all these meditation retreats with Donovan and the guru for the Beatles Maharishi Mahesh (before he died), yet he still makes movies like Eraserhead and Blue Velvet. Well, I shouldn't say still makes movies. Did anyone bother with Inland Empire?
Below, Lynch's last contribution to the vlog sector: his iPhone rant.
But can you imagine trying to take meditation tips from David Lynch would be like? "You're in a quiet room. The room is red. To your right, there is a backwards talking midget. To your left, a girl with the mysterious past. Walk through the red curtain. You are in a quiet room…"
Shit is like a nightmare.

actually, his meditation promotion is pretty sane and practical. He suggests slowing down and observing one's mind leads to blasts of creativity - not just 'happy vibes' but creativity of all forms and moods.
i have plenty of good will toward david lynch, and will never run out. the dude is a genius, and a really great, unassuming and natural guy. the meditation technique he promotes is TM. it's amazingly powerful and beneficial.
