Watched I DON'T KNOW JACK (2002), the low-budget talking-head documentary about character actor/David Lynch mainstay Jack Nance last night, and have some thoughts. What little I knew about the guy was confirmed: he had a difficult life and aged far, far beyond his chronological years due to decades of booze and rough, rough living. Cautionary tale + character study. I bought the hard-to-find DVD for $40 and am not likely to rewatch, but it's good to know that I can revisit it when the mood strikes and appropriate circumstances arise. #DavidLynch #Eraserhead #JackNance #Movies #TwinPeaks
@andhow I knew how he died but didn't know it was just a continuation of past behavior. I might have to find that DVD myself.
@stevenray I think the entire thing is posted to YouTube if you're curious.

@andhow

Incredibly tragic. He cleaned up and then lost his partner, causing a relapse. I haven't seen the documentary (still looking for the DVD myself), but this comic lays it out pretty well
