Dune :extended cut.

So much has been said about this movie and i have very little else to say really. All i really know is that im glad they didn't make this in the 60's like they were going to. It would have been too fucked up. Salavador Dali playing shadam the 4th? music by pink floyd? production design by HR giger? WTF. I'm glad david lynch made it. It is one of my favorite movies and this extended cut was the first version of it i saw on SCi-fi. So i'm glad it's finally comercially available.

I can finally retire my tired old vhs copy taped from tv.

I'm sad that it didn't do well in the box office because lynch was under contract to make a trilogy and that would have been fuckin fantatstic. All the work and attention to detail put into this movie is great. Some people don't like it. That's fine. Some people like the made for tv version of the shining too, because it's more faithful to the book. is it better fuck no.

i enjoy seeing lynch's vision of what the dune universe looks like. The casting in this movie is one of the best things in the movie. Max Von Sydow as Liet Kiens was kick ass! and Patrick Stewart as Gurney Hallek was inspired does he have the inkvine scar on his cheek? nope, but he's still way better than that duchebag on the tv version. Dean Stockwell as Wellington Yeuh, awesome.

Don't get me wrong i enjoyed the tv version too, but not as much as this one. I am a huge dune dork and i can't wait until something else comes out. I hope they make god-emporer next that would kick ass seeing leto II as a shai-hulud.
