Yes, David Lynch's passing is sad. He certainly made his mark. I remember reading an interview with him in a book about cult movies where the interviewer said (and I paraphrase) that despite the horror film trappings, Eraserhead was more of a very black comedy. Lynch replied that it was and the interviewer was the first one he had encountered who realized that.

Yeah, it can be. One instance is the scene where Mary X's father is smiling like a happy idiot, oblivious to the insanity around him.
