But you also have people like me, who love both Herbert and Lynch.
Itâs sort of like a âHey, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!â or âHey, you got your peanut butter on my chocolateâ kind of thing for me.

iâm surprised no one has mentioned jodorowskyâs proposed treatment and storyboards for a version he wanted to film. it wouldnât have been very much like the book but it would have been a beautiful mess.
Thereâs a great documentary on it, btw. Simply titled, Jodorowskyâs Dune.

This makes me wonderâŚdoes the actor portraying the leader of the transport crew get paid for SAG pay for lines, or does it not count because heâs âpretendingâ to say something?

As both a martial artist and sound designer, I love those bits. I thought it was a reasonable extrapolation from Herbertâs description of their sound/voice work. And how many times in sci-fi movies does anybody think of a new, interesting weapon? I think that the presentation and training made it better than just another generic âblasterâ. I never felt cheated that it wasnât shown what prana-bindu musculature looked like.

I think if you mime saying a line or even say a line without the audio being distinct, youâre still an extra. For example, in Spike Leeâs Get on the Bus, you can see some of the bus rider extras participate in the Shabooya, Roll Call scene, but since you can never distinguish their audio, theyâre only shown participating in the group chanting, they still qualify as extras.
the funny thing is i went back and forth through the comments above mine two or three times and didnât see a word about it but as soon as i read your post and started scrolling back up i saw one immediately.
so it goes . . .

One of my all time favorite movies, and one of my all time favorite books.
Even if they donât have that much to do with one another.

What? Thatâs prime gladiatorial physique right there.
I like my fighters a little beefier. It doesnât mean anything. But I always imagine them ⌠fighting for me. Not that that means anything either. Erm; I think.
All the wrestling scenes from Topkapi without the distraction of the heist

I watched it over and over again as a child. It really gave me a taste for Lynch films.
Only later did I read the books. Did not develop quite the taste for those.
Anyways, it is still one of my favorite movies. What makes Lynch great is the dreamy sense of menace he cultivates, which may or may not pay off in the plot line later. The expectation of said menace is part of what made watching âThe straight storyâ so interesting.
