Watching Lynch Dune, just so I'm refreshed for dunc.

Can't say I'm a fan of all this telling and very little showing to start off the film.

This Jean-Luc Halleck guy is pretty neat.

The gom jabbar scene is great.

Overall impression is that it's not a good movie - the pacing is incredibly rushed to try and fit in everything from the book, and it's just not really coherent unless you're already familiar with the source material. I think the Frank Herbert's Dune miniseries from 2000 is a better adaptation. To be fair, it's not like Dune is the only 80s adaptation to have this problem.

But the character designs are excellent (Baron Harkonnen is exceptional, outside of the very dated gay panic stuff), the sandworms are fantastic (especially the scene where one devours the harvester, that's visual effects work that still holds up today), a lot of the individual scenes are good. It's just that the film as a whole doesn't really come together properly.

does that count as gay sex if you're a woman being influenced by a gay male ancestor's ghost to gently caress men? dune asks the hard questions

the weird sex thing that always gets me about dune is that paul and chani are 17 and 15, respectively, when they have their first baby, leto II the elder who is killed in the sietch raid. he got her knocked up when she was 14.

i know they're supposed to be space tribespeople and all but gross. gross

in the film they barely talk (in fact I don't think they exchange one line of dialogue before hooking up, Chani says some quote from the book and then Paul thinks "I love her")

Also I looked it up and the actress who plays Jessica is 14 years older than the one who plays Paul, better than expected tbh.

It's a bizarre movie which makes no sense despite the vast amount of exposition. Cool set and costume designs though. The heart plugs are really effective bits of body horror
