Steven Boone at Big Media Vandalism has composed a mesmerizing collage (OK, montage) using text from Jackson’s 1988 biography “Moonwalk,” audio interviews with MJ, and footage from some of Lynch’s films, notably “The Elephant Man,” “Mulholland Dr.,” “The Straight Story,” “The Grandmother” and “Eraserhead” to imagine a biography of Michael Jackson directed by David Lynch. He calls it “Notes for a David Lynch adaptation of Moonwalk.“
Boone writes:
It all comes down to what you believe, because none of us knew the man….

I believe David Lynch is the filmmaker who should make the inevitable MOONWALK movie. Lynch’s capacity for empathy; his ability to describe alienation, suffering and loneliness in spiritual, visual terms; his American ear; his understanding of corporate show business as a place where dreams are nourished with candied arsenic… make Lynch the best equipped among marquee-value auteurs to say something vital about Michael’s life and death.
