Dune from David Lynch is by far, the best SF

there's nothing that can compare to Dune, like there's nothing that can compare to David Lynch other films, except the very boring Straight Story.

To me, "Dune" is the most turgid, lonnnnnnnnngest, sci-fi movie there ever was. Even longer than the book.
I understand that the just recently released 3Disc DVD version with William Hurt, is more faithful to the story. I'm curious, as I've seen it priced in the $19.99 to $22.00 range.
Didn't Lynch distance himself from his involvement of it ?

  Are we talking about the same "Dune", the one I've seen is made in 1984 by David Lynch, last 137 min and with a budget of 40 millions dollar (100M today). Easily the best SF for me, since I hate most of them.
  The other "Dune" I know is a PC game.
  It seems the books share some similarity with Lord of the Ring and are consider to be among the greatest ever written.
Lynch has his moments, but there are times he's so abstract that he could give Picasso a headache! - Audiophilander 09:32:18 06/21/02 (0)
