May I ask why you feel this way????

@@Yoshai94 it is a male dominated field. Science fiction writing is dominated by men.

@@terminateboy4714 I work for the Canadian government and this is the reality of our patriarchal world. This goes against our policies. If you disagree, you should take a gender studies course at your local university and that will help. Good luck.

You don't know the definition of boomers?

Still Watching it in 2022

He didn't like the rain scene at the end of the movie. He said that if it was ever re-edited, he would try to have that taken out. I believe Frank would have been thrilled to know what sci-fi did with the first three books of the series in their miniseries.

@@scapegoatiscariot2767 The rain scene was a last minute addition forced on the movie by DeLaurentiis (possibly a request by the studio). You can find the original ending online by the name "alternate ending."

@@scapegoatiscariot2767 I think Frank would have loved to see Spicediver's final edit.

I do too.

100% ❤

+José Pedro Caldeira Gomes i thought the same thing... i think the Lynch movie despite all its problems was an amazing film.... keeping in mind that almost no film is going to be the same as the book that inspires it... art direction and costume design were brilliant, few films match it... i think most of the "issues" with the film boiled down to issues between Lynch and de laurentiis...

phoboskitty m Although in many times that friction could also demonstrate itself essential to the final product of the creation. But yes, I would very much like to see David Lynch's Dune without any bounds.

José Pedro Caldeira Lima Gomes Because it's a myth, and we all know how the public is with myths ;)

José Pedro Caldeira Lima Gomes Indeed I would rather see the uncut version of David Lynch's Dune... but I must say that after watching Jodorowsky's I can not see the Baron as anyone but Orson Welles.

I'm not sure I've seen that particular opinion expressed that often. I think Jodorowsky's Dune would've been possibly the greatest film ever made but I still do like Lynch's Dune.

+mvunit3 I think he would characterize their responses and our responses as reflections of the flaws of both of our societies.

+Hoyt Mueller agreed. black clad desert rebels are a symptom not the illness.

There are many types of charismatic leaders. Not all are good, or even likable.

Kubeface Someone has been watching the news.

Jodo's ending would have been a total disrespect to the story, despite the amazing ideas he had for other elements of the movie. While the Lynch version was heavily flawed, Frank seems "happy enough" with the final product. Jodo's version would have been far worse, IMO.

Nope

Not at all.

I hear that, I've read all the novels a few times over but I still love Lynch's view of it even though it is bastardized. You should check out the documentary ''Jodorowsky's Dune'' to see how it might of been otherwise. I would love to see this re-made, but if it was they'd probably put Michael Bay in charge and it would end up a fucking mess.

I agree Scott Crandall, there are so many thing that just aren't in the book or are in the book and changed to some outlandish version. I do think that Lynch's version has a definite atmosphere that is unique and interesting. It's just not Dune's atmosphere. The story is so amazing that it really doesn't need changes. I would love to have Jodorowsky's Dune as the definitive adaptation. Though even with that, the ending would have been different. I like Jodorowsky's ending, but I don't think it fits the book. Herbert came up with such amazing and unique items and concepts that I think it's a disservice to adapt it without including as many in their original state as possible. The story is beloved because of those things and it's big grand ideals. So, why "fix it" with changes? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Del * How about Denis Villenueve getting the franchise?

I hate the end though. The book ends pretty unhappy, with Paul knowing that he has to do horrible thing for the greater good, ending in a dilemma. The movie's forced happy ending really made me upset.

Yes

It sounds like Kyle...

In what way?

Zach K You need your eyes checked then. While I’m all for practical/optical effects from the time a lot of those effects for this film were terrible. Even by 1984 standards. They should spent more time on them.

The space scenes look especially poor when you realize that 3 Star Wars films had already been released before it.
