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.
