*Luke stares out the window as the battle rages, a conflicted look upon him*

*A slow jazzy tune begins to play*

*Luke turns around suddenly finding the room has gone mostly red with a large curtain draped over where Palpatine's throne resided*

*A midget cloaked under a large hood walks out from behind the curtain holding Luke's light saber*

"Uoy tnaw siht...."

*Somewhere in the distance a light bulb flickers then pops as it burns out*

-Edit- Ermm.. I just watched the other clip, I guess I had the right idea going....

If he had filmed it, there would have been more tits.

There may be more to Lucas than we thought if he can razzle Lynch.

I thought about sifting this yesterday, but chose not to in the end... how foolish of me.

It might have been as hard to watch as Dune if he would have agreed.

Dune is the most godawful, low quality, banal storied, craptastic piece of pseudo-epic shite that i have ever had the misfortune to sit through 1/4 of. That's all i could stomach, and i watch some real pieces of shit i can tell you. It should have been the death of everyone's career that got involved in this film, and their undying shame.

David Lynch should have been treated in a way which his name suggests.

The money put into the film (which by the look of the sets and effects could have only been about £30 and a sponsorship of sand from a DIY store) should have been put into more productive endeavours which more greatly enriched and benefitted human kind, such as fuelling a car whose sole purpose was to burn fuel, standing still and empty, polluting the atmosphere LESS than dune has polluted the earth with it's bad film making sneaking under the guise of cult success.

What an absolute embarassment of the highest order this film was. When we meet aliens, i want the whole history and any proof of the existence of this film to be obliterated lest we be laughed out of the universal council and sent home riding a giant fake looking worm, being forced to shout rediculous sounds pretending that we're duelling each other. Each of us trying to pull a more dramatic face than the last. And they'll give us all surgery to make us have kyle machlachlachlachlachlan's annoying facial features.

Meeting a person who enjoys that film is like stumbling into the inner order of the Nerd World Order. The people that get together to discuss the ethical implications of the latest doctor who episode. It's like meeting someone who enjoys "The Happening" and takes it for a modern great. You can't quite believe the words they're speaking, and you're almost certain they're playing a joke on you. A lot of them quote each other word for word "If you'd read the book before you saw the film..." - And i can only assume that the book was hypnotherapy which conditioned me to enjoy abominable films.

Alright, i feel better now.

^I upvoted because you said "David Lynch should have been treated in a way which his name suggests"

I've never seen the movie, but that shit is funny.

i like dune

if you really want to torture yourself, sit through this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0297745/

He never really tells us why. Just that they visited and he decided against it.

Dune was an amazing book. Like LOTR, the story is huge. Lynch got so caught up in the movie, his version ended up something like 4.5 hours. Something that couldn't be marketed. Most of it ended up on the cutting room floor as they hacked it apart to bring it down to a regular movie sized chunk. The result was that anyone who haddn't read the book, had problems following it.

They tried for years to get TV networks to run it but no network would consider it. Finely it was agreed that someone would go back and re-edit a new version of the film for TV. That's the only way they managed to get it on the networks.

Most people don't realize that there are two versions to this film. Both very different from each other. As it ended up, there was enough unused film footage to create a whole different version of the film. Alot of the scenes are the same, but shot from different camera angles.

I've seen both. I have the original VideoTape movie version (It even came with a Dune dictionary so you could follow along with the lingo), but I have never managed to tape the TV edit version to my VCR. (it hasn't been released in any other format - That I've ever seen.)

On that note, years after that. There was a 6-hour mini-series remake of Dune staring William Hurt - I have that on DVD also.

and i just realized that my avatar might reveal my david lynch fanboisism

I'd rather re-watch Dune than Phantom Menace

i'm of the understanding that David Lynch is as unhappy with Dune as most people who watch it seem to be. the final product was completely controlled by the De Laurentiis's and isn't what Mr Lynch had in mind at all. or so i've heard...

I think that's true.

I like a lot of Lynch's movies, and I agree Dune is abominable.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I loved Dune, the movie. And the book.

David Lynch haters can fall off a cliff. Happy Holidays!!!!

Plot aside, for what it's worth, Lynch's dune had excellent casting (Fayde and the Baron come to mind) and costumes (seriously, somebody worked really hard on that). It really got the tone of the book and how it felt to read it. It's just that it arbitrarily changed so many different plot points and themes (milk the cat?) that it's kind of hard to be forgiving about it overall.

Whatever it was, it was a hundred times better than that crap sci-fi mini-series. Uggh..

And if you heven't read the book, you really should. It's still completely relevent to politics and religion even today.

I think Dune was an OK movie, and I've read all 6 Frank Herbert Dune books. I would recommend stopping after the first one, though.
