3. Baron V. Harkonnen = Karl Rove |
|
But I do agree. The movie kinda sucks, bad choice of director for this project. Not the place for a David Lynch freakshow (even though I like Blue Velvet). A real disappointment to me and most huge fans of the book.

At least it was a damn sight better than the excruciating Sci-Fi Channel remake, with the coma-inducing William Hurt as Duke Leto and a Paul Atreides who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

Well part of it. IMHO it did a great job to bring the atmosphere of the book(s) to the screen. However the changed story line sucked and made too much use of explanations.

I loved the music in it. And who could forget, spooky Linda Hunt as the Shadout Mapes.

6. Parts of Lynch's Dune are excellent. |
|
A few are disgusting. It doesn't hang together artistically.
But when it's good, it's very good.

Though it is hard to find people that will admit they liked it. The numbers do seem to be increasing with time though.

12. The casting was actually pretty good |
|
Jessica, Paul and the Duke were more or less how I imagined them.

9. Of course it's a dark movie... |
|
..Arrakis isn't exactly a happy place. All the better that the production embody that.
Somewhere, I still have the 4 hour version on videotape, complete with all the bad 80's commercials... Usually best to watch it in a few sittings. =)

But what really had me rolling in the aisles were the cheesy styrofoam 'hardest stone' and the yelling weapons... the FUCK!?!
