In Reply to: Dune from David Lynch is by far, the best SF posted by Lee P on June 21, 2002 at 06:35:24:
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 ?
Follow Ups:
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.
