jodo dune would have sucked, the book and the stories of its failure are the only things of significance about it

I'd guess 99% of people who jerk off over how awesome it would have been have never even attempted to actually watch a jodorowsky movie

it literally could not have been made, because jodorowsky is a crazy person and his plans would have just kept getting wilder and wilder. it's one thing to shove him out in the desert somewhere with $50 and a camera and see what he comes up with, it's another to give him an actual budget and resources and access to talent and expect a result.

as you said, the book and the stories are the best thing about it and that's what's interesting to post about.

you want a loving weird dune movie that had all the commercial success you could expect? lynch made it.

nah I'm sure it would have been a total cluster gently caress, I was just happy we got the documentary and could get his sheer excitement on film.

the documentary was good because you see him as completely unrepentant. he has never stopped believing in his vision for the film, which had nothing at all to do with dune or anything else, but was some loving wild rear end bullshit nevertheless

which way to the MACHINES?
Lynch was also substantially hamstrung by the people who controlled the purse strings. Which would have happened for Jodorowsky, too.

I haven't seen Apocalypse Now recently, but I'm pretty sure I'd still enjoy watching it today.

It's not a forgettable bombastic summer blockbuster, no.

Watched Dunc this weekend. Only previous exposure was watching Jodorowsky’s Dune.

I liked it. Will probably get a rewatch over the next month. Looking forward to the next one.

But right now I’m in a sand mood so I’m going to watch Fury Road.
