Especially if you saw the documentary about Jodorowsky's attempt who really went all out and had ideas that were probably more interesting. Yes, this is Lynch's worst work and he'll agree to that.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-60277590100315474572015-11-20T11:23:39.035-08:002015-11-20T11:23:39.035-08:00I think it is probably stating the obvious but thi...I think it is probably stating the obvious but this is one odd-ass film and makes you wonder what Dino De Laurentiis was thinking when he hird Lynch. That being said, the film is chock a block with fascinatingly groteseque imagery and drenched in Lynch's trademark otherworldly atmosphere. I would say it's a visual feast but a narrative mess.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-23394590626122546572015-11-06T22:21:41.913-08:002015-11-06T22:21:41.913-08:00@assholeswatchingmovies.com-I wouldn't blame y...@assholeswatchingmovies.com-I wouldn't blame you if you chose not to see it.

Plus, David Lynch doesn't think highly of <i>Dune</i> as he wasn't happy with it and he's not involved with the extended versions as it's credited to Alan Smithee. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-951175860583565262015-11-05T18:55:59.896-08:002015-11-05T18:55:59.896-08:00Gosh I can't believe I still haven't got a...Gosh I can't believe I still haven't got around to seeing this. I've been wanting to see David Lynch's DUNE for ages, wasn't there also a documentary about the making of this? Maybe that might be more interesting than the movie itself.Ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.com
