As the film community mourns the loss of visionary filmmaker David Lynch, Detroit's Redford Theatre is giving fans a place to mourn, and celebrate, his life and career. The Redford is showing Lynch's 1986 classic "Blue Velvet" on the big screen at 8 p.m. Friday, theater reps announced Thursday. Tickets, $7, are available on the theater's website.

If you met him in person, David Lynch came across as a Midwestern pastor, all gee-whiz and aw-shucks. He was one of the few people who seemed wholly incapable of irony and, hearing him talk, you’d think the man must have enjoyed a pretty darn nice Montana childhood.

David Lynch, the legendary director of "Twin Peaks" and "Mulholland Drive," is dead at 78, his family announced Jan. 16 on Facebook.
