Bjorn Posted June 12, 2014 They need those guns. The peanut butter must flow. When the peanut butter flow stops, all eyes will turn to the Netherlands. Also, how did I not know that Dunecat was a thing. This makes my day better: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted June 12, 2014 It might be time to give Dune another watch. I might have reached the age now where I have both the intellegence and patience necessary to understand the whole thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted June 12, 2014 I doubt it. It's still one of those things I file under "glorious mess" that I rewatch ever few years because I enjoy so many individual elements of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Driggs Posted June 12, 2014 That argument is bogus. For example .bin stands for binary but nobody says it like that. NICE TRY STEVE. Also it's a modulator-demodulator, but no one would pronounce modem as mah-deem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gormongous Posted June 12, 2014 I doubt it. It's still one of those things I file under "glorious mess" that I rewatch ever few years because I enjoy so many individual elements of it. What's made Lynch's Dune better is watching Jodorowsky's Dune, both seeing the prehistory of the project and seeing Jodo's childlike glee at what a mess Lynch made of it.

Bjorn Posted June 12, 2014 I managed to totally space off going and seeing that the one night it was in a theater close to me. Going to have to wait for a video release now. Dune exists as kind of a mythological thing for me, because among my friends in junior high, there were rumors of all these different versions of it, including like a 6 hour European version that was the "true" experience. It gave the movie this kind of crazy element of possibility that it only shared with things like ET or Heavy Metal, which were equally difficult to get ahold of. Of course there were multiple versions, but none like the ones we imagined there might be. I was just checking Wikipedia to verify that there were in fact multiple versions, and ran across this mind-blowing jem: After seeing The Elephant Man, producer Raffaella De Laurentiis decided that David Lynch should direct the movie. Around that time Lynch received several other directing offers, including Return of the Jedi. I wish I lived in a world where Lynch had been given the reigns to Star Wars for one movie. The mind reels at what he might have done to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
