Mister Chief posted:Has anyone seen Buckaroo Banzai recently and can say if it holds up? I've never seen it but have been thinking about it. On paper, it should be the greatest movie ever. In execution it turns out to just be pretty good, but it's worth seeing at least once.

The. gently caress. I had no idea this film existed and I've written papers on Dune, named pets after Dune characters and read everything I could get my hands on, even the abysmal Brian Herbert trash. How did this thing escape my radar?? quote:In 1974 the iconoclastic Chilean filmmaker responsible for such conscience-altering cult classics as El Topo, The Holy Mountain, and Santa Sangre signed on to make a film version of Dune that would be financed and produced independently of the Hollywood studio system. With a starting budget of $9 million Jodorowsky assembled a creative team that consisted of influential artists such as Jean “Moebius” Giraud, H.R. Giger, Chris Foss, and Dan O’Bannon and set about writing the screenplay adaptation of Herbert’s beloved novel. The director’s casting wish list was a cornucopia of international talent that included David Carradine, Charlotte Rampling, Mick Jagger, Gloria Swanson, Orson Welles, Alain Delon, and the legendary surrealist painter Salvador Dali. Jodorowsky’s son, Brontis Jodorowsky, was to play the film’s young hero Paul Atreides, and British rock group Pink Floyd agreed to compose and perform the Dune soundtrack. After two years of pre-production the film ran into a shortage of funds and was shut down due also to the sprawling nature of Jodorowsky’s script and a lack of interest from the major American movie studios.

I meant this attempt to make the film. This story. Dune has never been done right and the entire point of it all has never been mentioned so I wonder if this film would have. (The point being that the human race was doomed and Paul and Leto II with their prescient powers could foresee that they were forced to walk The Golden Path to save humanity by basically enslaving it).

The Twilight series has pretty low budgets, and bargain-bin CGI. It hasn't improved at all since the first one.

I knew about that version of Dune but I'm not sure how. I think it may have been from watching a lot of Alien behind the scenes stuff as both Giger and O'Bannon worked on both.

George Lucas did it with Star Wars three years later and ended up riding that into the ground. Imagine how different the landscape of Hollywood might be today if Jodorowsky had somehow became as big as George Lucas and overshadowed him before Star Wars came out. But that would require Hollywood to be something completely different than what it is, which is a money machine which churns out the safest, widely-accessible garbage (and the occasional gem) it can to increase profits while minimizing risk.

This story can not be mentioned without also mentioning that Dali would play emperor Shaddam IV, whose throne was a golden toilet in which he would defecate, presumably in front of everyone.

Not only did Jodorowski cast Dali as the emperor but he also made plans for a mechanical Dali mannequin to stand in for him. The reason for this is that Dali demanded $100,000 per hour, so Jodorowski rewrote Dali's part to be just one hour with a mannequin standing in for him in other scenes. Even more boggling is that Orson Welles was cast as the Baron Harkonnen though.
