He who controls the spice, controls the universe!
Looking back, was Lynch’s Dune kino? It’ll certainly still be better than the fagfest nu-Dune.

Yes. Even Lynch's failures are superior to other's garbage successes.
Ryder Taylor
I liked it. I may be biased cause I love Kyle tho
Juan Watson
I feel like it was torn three ways between being a executive boardroom mandate of "make it like Star Wars but mature!", a Lynch movie with sci-fi dressing, and Jorodowsky's original vision of The Holy Mountain 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Even Lynch's worst is still pretty damn good. The only real problem was the script, the sets and costumes all look fucking beautiful.
Jose Cruz
Why does anybody dislike this film? I think it's really good, one of my favorites.
Henry Parker
Its cozy, I like the drab coloring of everything.
Jaxson Edwards
I don't like it because it's a terrible adaption. But I appreciate it exists because it's OST can't be topped for Dune. Aesthetically on point too.
Blake Morales
Is it really terrible as an adaptation though?
I read the book a few years before I ever saw the movie and thought it was pretty spot on.
Jackson Brooks
The fact that ‘Dune’, and extended ‘Dune’ are both still routinely aired on television, and sought out on the internet, are proof that the movies are classics, even if both versions are imperfect in various ways.
The Barron with his pimply face,
Sting in his various costumes,
The worms coming out of the ground and being ridden,
The Bene Gesserit sisterhood and their weird tonsure haircuts,
The Fremen and the sound weapons,
The clothing that recyckes water,
The soundtrack,
Etc.
These have all become defining images of the film, and anyone who has seen the film knows the imagery and were it came from as soon as they see it.
When Dune was aired on TV before VCRs and later DVDs were ultra common, it was an event, and could almost rank with airing the original Star Wars films.
