Just got all caught up on this thread, good stuff. Despite all its flaws I love the Lynch adaptation. The opening scene with the Emperor's court and the spacing guild showing up really captured my imagination when I saw it as a young squirt. The alarms clearing the court with all the weirdos in their weird outfits coming in, and the navigator's pod thingie was ominous as hell. After that I read all the original books and even tried a couple of his son's but knew they were straight up garbage right off the bat. Oddly I think Chapterhouse is my favourite out of the books, stuff really kicks off. Miles Teg owns. It just kind of sucks it ends on a cliffhanger but better that than following the BH/KJA crapfest that followed. Thread has me excited to read through all the books again now!

Milky Moor posted:My partner and I have been riffing on the internal thoughts of all the characters in the Lynch film all day. All the Guild stuff at the start is so cool because it looks like they have real jobs and stuff to do, and it makes you believe it is a real organization. Just stuff like the guys vacuuming around the navigator's pod thing, it makes sense they would be vacuuming up every little bit of spice essence that might leak out. For me where the film goes off the rails is the big battle on Arrakis at the end where the emporer and his generals are watching it on some weird motorbike seat viewer thing, and weird poo poo like Alia waving knives around like a crazy person in slo-mo. Otherwise I dig the film a lot.

Defiance Industries posted:I know that it was the best they could reasonable do but it's a huge letdown for the triumphant entry of Atreides forces through the shield wall to be tight shots of Patrick Stewart and Kyle MacLachan on top of a brown rug that moves up and down going "HAH! HAH! HAH!" Yeah it makes it really obvious where they ran out of money  It was always surprising to me what a big role Duncan Idaho plays in later books because he gets killed off pretty fast in the movie iirc.

A_Bug_That_Thinks posted:It's not him dude...it's his gholas who have his persona Oh I know that just he seemed to be a pretty minor character who gets whacked by a handful of saudukar (or harkkonen, I forget) then they keep bringing him back. Why not Gurney for his Lute playing and pup handling skills??

Kazak posted:Lynch's guild navigator makes me extremely uncomfortable and squeamish. the pitted, mottled, severely acne scarred testicle face is plain difficult to look at in a trypophobia sort of way Also that weird hosed up mouth that shoots light. That scene hooked me on Dune and the Lynch movie bigtime.

I always wondered why they wouldn’t clone Gurney instead of Duncan so you can get that sweet mandolin action through history.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:The gruesome offscreen thing happening in the heart plug scene in the film is supposed to be Harkonnen is loving his slaveboy’s heart, right? I took it to be eyegouging the way he’s pawing at him but either is loving disturbing. The mechanics of getting his dong out of his hoversuit seem kind of improbable, but could be some fancy tailoring!

Yah 10 years ago she’d be a little young but now she’s the perfect age at 38. Gillian Anderson would be another good choice, speaking of actresses who have aged amazingly.
