GF asked to watch Dune. I hid my excitement and didn't recommend finding an extended cut. It had been like two decades since I actually watched it from beginning to end. It's such a bad movie. Costumes and casting and hair and sets are unreal and the effects can't be judged too harshly for the time period. However the transitional scenes are not just poorly written and directed they're practically unwatchable. Questions from GF like what the gently caress is going on? And I'm like well they just skipped about a year here and I guess you can see that the Sarduakar are attacking because we just watched four different scenes of people walking down hallways. So you're saying THIS is the fall of House Atreides? Yeah I guess. Did Paul just say he was drugged and why is Leto talking about not marrying Jessica? Ummm. Welp I guess they had to cut a lot of poo poo out. A million deaths are not enough for Yueh. Wait did she just say a million? Yeah I guess a million people died in that last scene. The one where two people talked in a hallway?? Yeah it's real bad. The end is so laughable too. It's a slap in the face of anyone who actually read Dune to say where there was war Muad'Dib brought peace. Tell that to the 61 billion deaths in the jihad. I guess his Terrible Purpose was bringing love to those that had hate. lmao And boy oh boy did they waste Virginia Madsen. The opening scene of her explaining Dune is so good and the only line in the actual movie she gets is "Father?" to which he answers "Irulan you must leave." and she scurries off. woof. And of course completely ruining the entire point of Dune by Paul making it rain because he became an actual god for reals and then completely ignoring the underlying point of the book which is the golden path because humanity is doomed without it. All in all a failure. I knew it going in but sometimes you have to rewatch to really appreciate the failure kiimo fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Feb 28, 2021 |

"A million deaths are not enough for Yueh" refers to Yueh dying a million times over for his treachery. It's one of the introductory quotes in the book.

Ah interesting definitely didn't remember that. I know my post is no great revelation but it watching it again made me actually feel more hopeful that a good Dune movie can be done if you go about it correctly.

Its still a good shorthand for the difference between book and movie- the movie just has Jessica yell it in frustration, the book has it as an "Atreides battle cry" as the epigraph for a chapter that's mostly devoted to humanizing Yueh

I watched the lynch film for the first time in a decade last year and I had a good time but it's an absolute mess. The venn diagram of enjoying lynch movies, enjoying dune, and being okay with a garbage adaptation is not going to have a lot of people in the center but I'm here If there's one thing the lynch film has going for it, it's that the film actually came out and you can watch it

One of my favourite sets is when the Harkonnens are talking about their bad plans, while the Baron is busy having his pus extracted and servant molested. Place is ostensibly somewhere in the Baron's royal quarters, but it looks like a slaughterhouse. Also, their true colours are shown when both the Baron and Rabban are seen polluting that little sewer duct thing!

I like Rabban having a juice box that involves crushing some small critter (which screams) to extract a minimal amount of juice.

Imperial Consumer Reports have found out that you can pretty much get the same amount of juice by squeezing an animal with your own hands as when you are using the new overpriced ixian gadget.

I thought it meant that a "million" (a large number of) deaths weren't enough, and he had to reach for just one more: the death of the Baron Harkonnen.

Now suddenly remembering they do more or less the same thing in Orc Stain but with a creature that's bioengineered to be a living soda can. Also it's literally just the Juice Loosener. Which come to think of it is prescient in far too many ways.

I agree there are tons of memorable Lynch creations. I loving LOVE the stage 3 navigator and I like heart plugs and weirding modules even if they create a huge plot hole and steal agency from the Bene Gesserit women. But I disagree that Dune is a good Lynch movie, it's a bad Lynch movie because of some fundamental flaws and even he thinks so. The pacing is criminal and even if the book is as well a good director should fix that. It just has a lot of cool poo poo in it. I'm nervous to even start this debate lest SuperMechaGodzilla comes in here and shits up the thread like the Star Wars prequels talking about Dune's awesome juxtaposition of sets or whatever

I enjoy the heck out of the Lynch film (even the hosed up super long cut) but I wouldn’t call it great. It has definitely shaped a lot of my impression of the dune universe though because it came out before I was old enough to read the books, so still suits look like that in my head now, etc.

Everyone remembers the cat milking device, but almost nobody remembers the little screaming insect capri sun. The cartoonishly evil way the Harkonnens were depicted is one of the best parts of the Lynch movie. You can almost hear David behind the camera going "OK, this time laugh even more maniacally."

I think when the Baron pulls that heart plug Sting's smile has a quality of "I'm supposed to appear to be into this but I'm actually horrified" i dunno if that was Sting's idea or Lynch's idea or if I'm just reading into it because I read the book but I think it's great no matter what.
