    Nuanced piece on Lynch's notorious DUNE, which is better than most people (including the director) realize.https://twitter.com/TimGrierson/status/1449390359990063105 …

    As we prepare for the new DUNE, I revisited David Lynch's DUNE, which has been saddled with a reputation for being a total disaster. Like other notorious stinkers, though, it's actually far more interesting and accomplished than its rep suggests. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/dune-david-lynch …

        The only people who don’t like it are the people who haven’t read Dune or who have read Dune way too many times

        I really don't get why it's so disliked. Most cinematic SF is pretty bad, and this is actually pretty good. I'd even call it great if it wasn't for that ending.

        Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Cleopatra (1963) is better than most people realize. It certainly was more popular. But it cost too much to make.

        I love, love, love the ending of that film. Getting there is a bit of a slog.

        I've seen it said that the characters in Lynch's Dune genuinely feel like people from another planet and that's a hard agree from me. In that way I think it makes Star Wars look prosaic.

        The fact that the follow-up versions borrowed heavily from it, is a testimony to how good the film is. Solid world-building and outstanding production design.
