David Lynch in Israel - Part 2

In a press conference today in Jerusalem, David Lynch mainly managed to confuse the reporters. His focus was on Transcendental Meditation as a means of brining peace to the middle east and solving violence in schools. According to him, a group of 250 people practicing this on a daily basis is enough to bring peace. Lynch repeatedly tried to avoid answering questions about cinema. He also said that between meditation and cinema he would prefer the former. He claims that he is not a big fan of cinema and that he hardly watches TV. He also thinks that the Internet is the "new TV". You can watch a clip of the conference here.
