epigraphs
"Young man, let me explain something to you: Every shot in a picture is the most important shot in a picture." -- Ernst Lubitsch
"I don't think you go to a play to forget, or to a movie to be distracted. I think life generally is a distraction and that going to a movie is a way to get back, not go away." -- Tom Noonan
"Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out." -- Martin Scorsese
“An idea does not exist apart from the words that express it. Style is not an envelope enclosing a message; the envelope is the message.” -- Dwight Macdonald
"There's nothing I like less than bad arguments for a view that I hold dear." -- Daniel Dennett

David Lynch and coffee are mutually inhabitable twin towers....which reminds me: Laura said to Coop, "I'll see you in 25 years." 2014? 2016? Our fallen angel is still trapped in the Black Lodge....
I don't remember what you think of David Thomson's Biographical Dictionary of Film, but I strongly suspect that you won't care for this review by Clive James: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2011/06/hollywood-a-love-story/8501/
That's exactly the image I want in my head when drinking a cup of David Lynch signature coffee.
Amazing.
Ok, that really made my day. I think my work is done here.
