Prolonged Priapism posted:Yeah a traditional Dune movie is basically impossible. It could work as a one season show though. The narrative needs lots of room to breathe, and I demand lingering, loving shots of desert landscapes. no matter what it'd be hard to capture what made the novel cool. A lot of the "action" is just people looking at each other and trying to outmaneuver each other by saying precisely the right things. It's pretty weird.

Oh yeah, full-on musical. Luis CK as Baron Harkonnen. Maisie Williams as Alia (both young and old). James Franco as Paul Maud'dib. The stage would be covered in real sand, and every time a character dies, they'd join the chain of people making up Shai Hulud

It actually probably would have owned in the same way El Topo owned (that is, don't watch it unless properly medicated), but the documentary definitely owned. I would really recommend that you read some of his later bandes dessinées work, it's freaky stuff. For example: The titular hero of Les aventures d'Alef-Thau is born with no limbs, and slowly acquires them as he defeats an alien menace using psychic powers. Graphic novels seem to be much more his medium than film, to be honest.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:otoh gently caress the fandom Can you expand on this opinion? Not that I necessarily disagree but I've never really met an obnoxious Dune fan. Every other creative work in existence seems to have a 'fandom' consisting of kooks who dress up in costumes and have really really bad opinions (DR. WHO)

i don't really have any specific beef with the dudes drawing baron harkonnen assfucking leto atreides as a my little pony or whatever else it is the dune fandom does just don't care about anyone who'd whine about having a trippy cool movie based on a book they like cause it's not sufficiently identical to the book

Honestly the problem with the David Lynch Dune is I first saw it before I read the book and was like "What the gently caress is going on? I can't relate to any of these characters. What's all these gibberish words they're talking about?" It's totally impenetrable and unless you read the book first you won't have any loving clue what's going on. Luckily I actually did read the book afterwards and the book was really loving good and I understand the movie now. There's like no way you could squeeze Dune into two and a half hours and have it work as a movie. And I'm sorry Peter Jackson, 6 hours is too loving long for a movie. That said, if they adapted the first four books into a TV show and actually gave it a budget it could be really good. With the success of Game of Thrones, it might actually catch on, given that Dune is also basically about medieval politics and everyone being terrible human beings. It's just set in space Arabia and has giant worms and lots of drugs.

Dune is tough to film, but Dune Messiah and Children Of Dune would be fine. if you could establish it with Dune. It's a jigsaw puzzle where 1/3 is insanely complex and the other 2/3 are just two really large solid pieces. Like seriously, if anyone could half way decently anchor it with the first movie, Dune Messiah and Children Of Dune could be almost straight up adaptations. Not necessarily summer blockbuster material but filmable. I don't know why anyone shits on them though. They're not revolutionary like Dune and God Emperor but Dune Messiah is about watching Paul start a horrible revolution and dealing with the effects of the imperial cult set up around his gifts. That's awesome. Children of Dune gives you some frame of reference as to why the known universe is ruled my a semi-omnipotent manworm in book 4. Speaking of unfilmable, God Emperor is definitely unfilmable. I think it would work as a one-man Broadway show though.

If you boil Dune down its all about going for a glorious Jihad. Some people might have a problem with that in today's world. That being said I'd love to see a new Dune game, maybe an Obsidian-style RPG.

Nicolas Cage as Duncan Idaho marches on stage, completely naked except for his big-rear end jack-boots. They're polished to such a high sheen, that when the spot light focuses on the (as it tends to when he's on stage), it's almost blinding for the audience. He raises a knife in the air, a jeweled antique. "drat you, God!"

Okay this is going to piss everyone off but the Sci Fi Dune movie has a special place in my heart, and I stick up for it on some of the same grounds that people stick up for the Lynch version. I also think it did some things flat-out better than the Lynch version. Of course, coupled with these are the things it hosed up, some of which are the same things the Lynch version hosed up and some of which were new exciting things to gently caress up, all of which makes me very sad. I think part of my beef here boils down to how retarded I think the little shouting laser beams from the Lynch version were. I may have said this before, but I wish that somebody would make a third Dune movie and hopefully give us another selection of lovely versus cool things so we could make a single epic fan edit of all the cool parts graaa-cha!

i think it would have been a bad film, even if a good director did it, hearing how weird it would have been is alot more interesting than actually seeing it.

I recently read Dune and loved it. I was expecting the absolute worst from the Lynch film but I actually kind of liked it. It seems like it would make zero sense if you didn't read the book and some of it was bizarre for the sake of being bizarre but I'll give it a lot of credit for how many scenes looked exactly like I imagined when I was reading. Plus it made me realize that one Fatboy Slim song with Christopher Walken in the video is directly quoting Dune (if you walk without rhythm, you won't attract the worm).

So I start reading the case and it came out in like 2000 and has William Hurt in it. I mean, I like William Hurt, but…Anyway, there is that one, just letting you know. I have it on tape. Two tapes.
