Is it me, or does that thing kinda look like a vagina?

[crappertay]

This ALWAYS happens after I buy the barebones of movies I think will never get SE respect... then BANG! Lookie!!!

[Josh]

The cover is damn cool, even if the movie isn't.

And no it doesn't look like a vagina. :(

That class is doing strange things to you.

[Bordick]

not really.............I just tend to see things differently.....before I realized it was the Eye of Sauron in FOTR I was wondering why Elijah was cowering to a firey box ;)

[Evil Dead Junkie]

Bordick if you'd have no problem dipping your dick in a firey box then you've got much bigger issues then seeing vaginas everywhere.

"Do you like the word VVVAAAAGGGIIIINNNNNAAAA"

Oh the Big Lebowski where would we be without you :lol

[Bluntchop]

I hope the transfer is better then the German release.

[Josh]

No matter how good the transfer is... the movie will still suck.

[Evil Dead Junkie]

Seriously Dune didn't suck willingly it was hamstrung and the film itself is a visual feast.

[Josh]

Dune apologist.

[Evil Dead Junkie]

Damn Straight :D

[crappertay]

The non-anamorphic bare-bones is alright, not great but passable.

I take it you don't like south american chicks :lol

Dune does not "suck." It is a visual feast, a complete triumph of production design, special effects, and costumes. It's in the narrative that the movie is a disaster.

So it's kinda like a model. A soulless, brainless, IQ sucking, visual feast.

[crappertay]

Since when did Dune suddenly equate to Torque?

[B1ade Runner]

Saying Dune is "soulless and brainless is a bit much. It's a mess, but there is much to love. And how could I forget that score?!?

[Evil Dead Junkie]

I think just an hour more of running time would have helped alot. I mean if you look at the first hour its a pretty clear and faithful adaptation. The problem is that the first half of the movie covers like the first 1/5 of the book So once Paul makes it to the Freeman its almost like someone just randomly cut together clips of the real Dune movie.

[B1ade Runner]

I agree. If each Lord of the Rings movie can be three hours a piece, then Dune should have been around the same length. The bastard TV version makes sense, and it runs about 190 minutes (although the version I taped runs 175 minutes). The first hour is faithful, but there are certain things they could have explained better. I still hope that Lynch re-edits it some day. There is a lot of good footage, and with the right dedication, it could be a very good movie.

[Josh]

An hour more of characters staring into the screen while we listen to their inner monologue? No thanks.

[Evil Dead Junkie]

If they had another hour they wouldn't need inner monolouges.

[crappertay]

Well I like it. At least he had the balls to try something a little different from the norm, even if he didn't pull it off.

Can never accuse Mr Lynch of playing it safe.

[Josh]

You could say the same thing about Gigli.

At least they didn't play it safe!

I like the inner monologues, they add something extra.

[crappertay]

Has Hobbit seen Gigli yet?
