Ben Stiller Receives Weird, Public Entreaty for Friendship from David Lynch
It is a Friday in Los Angeles, eighty-four degrees, the air choked with smoke, the airwaves dominated by tales of kidnap and rape. David Lynch has a thought: He would like to befriend comedian Ben Stiller. Why seal the deal with a call from an assistant, a Facebook friend request, or an antiseptic click of the "follow" button on Twitter? It must be heard, puzzled over. It must hang there, daring us to interpret it. David Lynch will direct Night at the Museum 3. Ben Stiller will awaken Abraham Lincoln, who will turn into Laura Dern. They will then make love.

Two opposites of LA culture have now joined, signifying a final gate for the aPOPalypse has been opened.
Yeah, right, like David Lynch would be signed in as "David_Lynch." Come ON, Stiller, we know it's you. Sigh.
I think Lynch was probably trying to get in touch with Jasper Robards, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of twitter.
This made me happy, but then instantly feel weird and guilt-ridden for feeling happy, which seems on par with most of Lynch's work.
I'd like to see David Lynch direct a sequel to Reality Bites, reuniting the original cast, but set inside a radiator in a Motel 6 and done entirely in mime.
