A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.

david lynch interview about smoking and emphysema has this quote that’s been lodged in my brain. "I don't regret it. It was important to me. I wish what every addict wishes for: that what we love is good for us."
