I started watching the Smithee cut the other day not knowing what it was and, holy poo poo, that half hour expo dump that opens the movie is one of the most atrocious things committed to film. That's not to say the monologue that opened the theatrical version was good, but it was better than a straight-up PBS style history lecture.

I heard that when the Lynch film was released, theatregoers were given pamphlets that set the stage and established characters, like ultra-detailed play programmes. Is this true? It sounds pretty far-fetched but then again the theatrical cut does kind of just throw you into the plot, Virginia Madsen's creepy monologue aside.

Alan Smithee is a poo poo director, just throwing that out there. You see any of the other garbage movies the guy's put out?

"Director Allen Smithee, a name I'm not familiar with, allows his story to unfold naturally. He never preaches, and he never lingers on the obvious. His characters do what they have to do." - Roger Ebert

If you don’t like the Smithee cut then it is very possible that the narrative style of Dune is not for you.

One of the things that impressed me about the movie was the sandworm SFX. Those scenes where the tri-mouth comes up out of the ground, and the sand/dust is getting blown away, somehow, with 80s SFX, they managed to make it look very much like that thing had a 200 foot diameter, and that just tons of sand and dust were blowing off of it. It was very cool, and I wonder how they managed to make it look so good with practical effects.

I really like the implications of the floating telepathic space foetus being named, not a Final Stage Navigator, but a Third Stage Navigator. There might be further stages, that make the FTSF look normal...

I attended the SF Bay Area premier, at Zellerbach Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. We got a program, but it had very little text beyond lists of characters and such. Lol, there were four stills from the movie in it and none of them were in the cut we saw.

Some of the sets look really extravagant and expensive, like the emperor's throne room or the palace hallways on caladan, but the worms always looked like a 4 foot long tube on a little sand pit. I wonder what a modern fx house would do with it, because it is ultimately a really jarring and unnatural looking image, a giant worm in the sand. You can't have the millions of little things happening look of star wars or avengers movies, its just a big worm and lots of dust.

Not the side-view, like when Paul is running up to it to plant the spike and get aboard. That looks fake. Like when the emperor is looking through the periscope and the worms have the heads in the air, and the waves of dust coming off them make them look massive. But, I guess I might be seeing what I want to see, as I was pretty young when I saw it in the theaters when it was first released.

You can't have the millions of little things happening look of star wars or avengers movies, its just a big worm and lots of dust. With Villeneuve at the helm, I'm looking forward to it. He (and or his DOP) knows how to make use of atmosphere, haze, weather, and lighting to make things moody and vast. See BR2049 and Arrival. The trick is that you build a hyper-detailed scene and then obscure almost all of it, except the parts that give the most vital information and make for the most striking image. The viewer feels and infers the detail, which is 100x better than seeing it plainly. DebonaireD posted:Some of the sets look really extravagant and expensive, like the emperor's throne room or the palace hallways on caladan, but the worms always looked like a 4 foot long tube on a little sand pit. They're beautiful sets, but lit and shot so blandly that they look like expensive sets instead of real places. They show too much.

What really popped for me on a recent rewatch is how the entire film has a clear color spectrum that goes through oranges and greens, which is a combination you don't usually see, especially not nowadays when everything seems to be vaguely desaturated and blue. This appears even on Kaitan and Giedi Prime so it's not just "yeah obviously Arrakis is a sand pit." It really made the film seem different, alien .
