I know out there, is a version of reality where Jodorowsky made Dune and David Lynch got to make Return of the Jedi.

Then this would not just be a pipe (lol) dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKjpH2qO8XY

Actually one of the last books (might have been one of the Brian Herbert ones) has Space Jews.

Not like, an allegory for Judaism or a religion that's similar. Literally that Mel Brook's "Jews In Space" skit from History of the World.

Dali would have only gotten a few seconds of screen time because to get him on board they promised to pay him a bajillion kazillion gold plated helicopters per minute of screen time because he was nuttier than squirrel poo poo.

Yeah this is definitely in the same vein. The original director had a lot of interesting ideas and sketches but he eventually got fired and went insane and hid on the set disguised as an Extra.

Anyone remember the Dune mini series? What a heap of poo poo.

Also, the book is always better, so read the book. Or at least the audio book. There's a way to get the original, unfiltered masterpieces and STILL be a lazy piece of poo poo.

i really hope this is like that thing that happens in social studies classes when you get a foreign guy who says something like "but what when the wemen....like the rape" and the whole class has to stop while the professor asks "okay, did you mean this [awkward in context in but understandable thing] or this [exactly what they said as it translates to english], and everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief when they acquiesce to the first one.

jodorowsky's dune would have been bad anways because the dune story isn't a thing that can be adequately told in a 2.5hr film

that book, concept art, and set pieces looked neat but the movie would have been a pretentious unwatchable mess

He barely read the book, so that wouldn't have been the issue. He was expecting too much out of a movie, though.

Totally.

Also, the following documentary about Jean Giraud/Mœbius is good, and of course mentions Dune as the start of his collaboration with Jodorowsky.
