If Dune is the worst thing on your resume, you know you're badass. David Lynch is a legend.

[@user-ly9wr8wj5s]

Quentin Tarantino said it best, on how to tell a great director from a servicible, mediocre, or bad director. With the first three types of director, their worst movie will be completely forgettable. However, a great director's worst movie will be just as memorable as his best ones.

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

I was ten when _Dune (1984)_ was released in theaters, so I’m not going to pretend I understood it then. But this film, for all its flaws, has one thing the other remakes and spinoffs don’t have: My favorite Legendary Actor, the late Dean Stockwell! 😭 More people found this former Child Actor through either _Married To The Mob, Quantum Leap_ or the _Battlestar Galactica Remake._ And of course I adore those roles! But in 1980 my six year old self fell madly in love with his seven year old self when I saw a rare airing of _Anchors Aweigh (1945)_ on some local television station. Over a decade or so after I initially saw _Dune (1984),_ I finally caught up with _Blue Velvet (1986)_ and learned more about his connection to David Lynch. Dean went on to tell an interesting story about how he met David long before the Director hired him! I could literally write a biography about this tragically overlooked man so I’ll just end this by saying: Okay, so Dr. Yueh was the traitor! Sure! But The Barron killed his wife, goddamn it!!

[@alexandresobreiramartins9461]

​@@spencers4121He actually didn't have the movie per se, he hated studio interference, that didn't let him do whatever he wants. Not saying I'm entirely on his side, because when you see interviews about Twin Peaks the Return, you see Lynch throwing a tantrum of why they can't spend as much time filming some scenes on a sound stage they own and a poor exec trying to explain to him the actors are not his personal slaves and have other contracts.

[@tremorsfan]

I don't think David Lynch gives himself enough credit. Who else would have thought up two dwarfs poking a dead cow with a stick.

[@KareemHarper]

Decades ago in the mid 90s I made a spliced version on VHS that included the extended cut and the TV extended bits mashed together (like Stilgar's extended worm riding tutorial) before the DeLaurentis Extended DVD cut (which excludes the storybook opening narration in favor of the Irulan one) and must agree... Lynch had filmed so many iconic scenes and nailed many things. I can give a pass to his interpretation of the Weirding Way and the voice amplifying sonic weapons for everything he got so darn right. The art direction on this so influenced my view of the Dune universe that it caused me to outright reject initially the SCI-FI series which actually does get a lot right too... Just couldn't stand the break dancing pantomime Spacing Guild and Irulan's butterfly dresses in the first Sci-Fi mini-series.

[@Christian39521]

According to Wikipedia: "Although Universal has approached Lynch for a possible director's cut, Lynch has declined every offer and prefers not to discuss Dune in interviews. In 2022, though, during an interview about the remaster of his film Inland Empire (2006), he admitted to the surprised interviewer that he was interested in the idea. He offered the caveat that he did not believe it would ever happen, nor that anything in the unused footage would satisfy him enough for a director's cut, as he said he was "selling out" during production. Nevertheless, he said enough time had passed that he was at least curious to take another look at the footage."

[@madgang201]

Let me guess, the newer movies made him curious to go back, didn’t they?

[@Christian39521]

@@madgang201 it wouldn't surprise me.

[@bobbyshaddoe3004]

​@@madgang201more than likely. In addition, a lot of the reappraisal of his film has come about thanks to efforts of fan edits like from Spicedriver that brings back much of the cut footage in a seamless manner, repurposes some of Virginia Madsens voice over narrative into areas that make sense, eliminates a great deal of thr inner voice stuff, thereby removing repetition and redundancy, and even manages to repurpose the exposition stuff from thr Alan Smithee TV cut into information that Paul is learning about from his tablet. It also removes the moment Paul makes it rain at the end. The new fanedit even breaks things up into chapters, making the film feel a great deal more epic and cinematic than ever. I wouldn't be surprised if Lynch ended up seeing that fanedit and then decide to personally have Spicedrivee come on board to make that edit the official edit, much like how a fan edit of Raising Cain ended up becoming the official directors cut edit on the home video release.

Yeah it felt like a way to get "my name is a killing word" into the movie even though that works well enough for them just shouting Muad'dib as they fight Also made the final battle easier to shoot since they can just sit on the worms and shoot everything standing still, it's a serious compromise in this adaptation but considering how much else is changed I don't even really care, by that point I'm numb to how wrong everything is and I take this movie as it's own animal However with the new ones every changed detail feels like a betrayal because of how good everything else is

[@tmamone83]

Despite being a huge David Lynch fan, "Dune" was the one I kept putting off seeing until a few years ago. Even though it has a lot of classic Lynch director's signatures--dream sequences, hissing industrial noise, Jack Nance, etc.--I can see why he doesn't like talking about it. I think Frank Herbert liked the movie, though, except for the end. In the books, Paul is a false messiah, while in the movie he is the messiah.

[@timetochronicle]

I wonder how much studio interference led to the ending of Lynch's Dune making Paul even more of a heroic figure. It did come out not too long after the original Star Wars trilogy, and I think Universal wanted their own "Star Wars". Also, and considering Lynch was planning an adaptation of Dune Messiah, I think such an adaptation would have put off people who enjoyed seeing the "heroic" Paul. Denis is doing the right thing by being more faithful and showing the Paul who would end up causing an immense genocide.... but I still have a soft spot for that heroic Paul. If viewed on its own, and without a Messiah followup, 1984 Dune can be appreciated as a "Star Wars" imitator, and also a contemporary to the 1980s Flash Gordon. The Lynch movie also was the inspiration for the approach that Westwood's Dune 2000 and Emperor: Battle for Duen games took, which had a heroic Atreides. And, the 1984 Dune book walked, so that the Denis's movies could run.

[@tmamone83]

@@timetochronicle Well a couple of years ago, I found a draft of the script online, and that one ends the same way the book does. So maybe you're right.

"Rod and Tod" were " Orlop and Kaleff" the children of Jamis, whom Paul killed in a knife-fight scene that was cut from the movie. It's Fremen custom for the winner of an Amtal challenge to care for the wife and kids of his slain foe. That's why those two kids are there.

Original dune adaptation convinces me that only David Lynch could adapt something like 40K to the big or small screen. While i'm not a snob over CGI and modern effects vs oldschool practicals, real sets and extra's i see benefits and drawbacks of both and how they can even compliment each other. Sorry but some stuff is just better depicted with mass scale that oldschool allows you to do and real sets and D.L. Dune is one of the masterclass examples of that and it does it by being visually grimdark and still subtle yet impressive. Really in particular western CGI generally fails as portraying large scales, i've only seen asian studios(on mainly Japanese) do it right and especially when there wasn't anyone watching over their shoulders and constantly dictating stuff.
