It's a guilty little pleasure because even David Lynch disowns that film. <BR/><BR/>It's full o the weirdness that makes Lynch's work so compelling and the weirdness is actually quite true to Herbert. <BR/><BR/>Alas, Lynch is not a great action director so the fight scenes are largely lacking in tension by our contemporary standards. Yet the design of the vision is so immaculate and psychotic, so bizarre and Frank Herbert as well as the best of Lynch's own aesthetic. <BR/><BR/>I think it's time people gave it another look. It's a great entry in the annals of Sci-Fi film making IMHO.Art Neurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583573486342008908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34435183.post-52404292778054006972008-12-04T11:06:00.000+08:002008-12-04T11:06:00.000+08:00There's definitely a woman's depth in the books.I'...There's definitely a woman's depth in the books.<BR/>I'm not expecting much from the new film version if it gets off the ground. It's a huge challenge to recreate in a standard length film the immense cultural detail with which Mr and Mrs Herbert built up the fictional world of Dune.<BR/>I hope to be surprised though.jeronimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099993403604440221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34435183.post-18891056942141198662008-12-03T15:46:00.000+08:002008-12-03T15:46:00.000+08:00Apparently Frank Herbert read his working drafts t...Apparently Frank Herbert read his working drafts to his wife every evening. He has said that is was her counsel that was his most valuable and that she was a much responsible for his works as he was. Perhaps it was her mysticysm?<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I hope the remade film will be better than the 1984 version.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
