1984 Directed by David Lynch
In the year 10,191, the world is at war for control of the desert planet Dune—the only place where the time-travel substance 'Spice' can be found. But when one leader gives up control, it's only so he can stage a coup with some unsavory characters.

David Lynch, holding up 3 identical head shots of Kyle MacLachlan: hmmmm...now..I wonder who will be playing the lead in my next movie....
Felt like I showed up two hours before the final exam for a class I never attended and tried to skim through the entire textbook. I failed the exam but at least the textbook had a bunch of cool pictures.
why villeneuve's version will be less good:
-no partick stewart charging into battle with a puppy
-no soundtrack by toto
-no knife fight between sting and kyle maclachlan
-no terrible yet delightfully charming special effects
What about this: A TV channel that just airs Dune, the miniseries Dune, Children of Dune, and Jodorowsky’s Dune and all the special features for all of them, and we call it... The Spice Channel.
No? What? What’s wrong?
Also, I had never seen this as an adult. It is decidedly Not Good™, but I kind of loved it? The way that it is so impenetrable, at least to those of us who haven’t read the book, even as the characters explain every one of their action, even as Lynch allows us to hear the characters’ thoughts, is kind of incredible. There are lots of movies about aliens, but Dune actually feels alien; like it was made by space worm…
If it was the night before my marriage to David Lynch and I watched this movie, I would probably call the wedding off
I just folded space from Ix and boy are my tumorous gills tired!
The David Lunch version surpasses the Dennis Villanova version is these aspects:
-Harkonnens are genuinely disgusting and terrifying pedophiles
-The Stage 3 Guild Navigator
-Jurgen Prochnow and the rest of House Atreides carry a generally more aristocratic fascist vibe that feels more in line with who they are
-The worms give off huge arcs of static electricity, awesome
-General atmosphere of psychedelic jihad
I will give the edge to this recent adaption in terms of:
-The Fremen are slightly more intimidating than mall security guards. Bardem a way cooler Stilgar than Everett McGill.
-Thopters, spaceships, vehicles, technology all cooler.
-Rebecca Ferguson as Lady Jessica was a better…
