I think Verhoeven phrased it best



This can also be related to Showgirls, and the discomfort with its rather overtly black comic narrative, which is simultaneously so deliberately provocative with its violence. It's no surprise that every once in a while you get the observations, like, "Well, just because it's black comedy/satire doesn't mean it's entertaining," or whatever. It completely misses the point of unalloyed, symbolic provocation. Verhoeven is much less like David Fincher and much more like Alejandro Jodorowsky. If anybody should do a Dune one-off, it's Verhoeven.
