Is Dune by David Lynch worth watching?

Is anything by david lynch worth watching?

>>82482401

it's a great movie, very trippy, almost feels experimental

>>82482401

yes, but David Lynch walked away while making it and it was finished by another director, so the movie ends up a beautiful mess.

>>82482401
would you fuck a guild navigator?

>>82482401

also make sure you watch the Extended Edition 177 minutes long, it makes it less confusing.

>>82482401
Yes.

and definitely watch the Dune made-for-TV mini-series
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/

It has terrible effects but great screenwriting.

t. watches Transformers and Fast & the Furious unironically

>>82482401
It's his best movie

FATTTHHHERRRRR

Mmmmmm Shai-Huluuuuud.

It's a terrible fucking film and it makes me god damn angry that it gets shoved into top 10 science fiction movie lists constantly. Complete garbage, a total failure.

How can you not like it when its just like you?

Dune is like The Hobbit, it gets everything right : the perfect cast, the great scenery, the perfect choice for director, the excellent music, a huge budget .... yet just like the Hobbit its a pile of shit.

I still dont know how they fucked this up so badly.

>>82482976
Because I dont like myself either

>>82483111
Well, atleast you are self-aware.

Not really. Dune is his only good film and even it has some serious, serious issues. I like his Dune film just because I'm a Dune fan, nothing more.

>>82482526
Actually your pic related look more like the kind of faggots that like Lynch films. Only faggots like Lynch films because it's hip to like weird shit.

>>82482418
Absolutely

Elephant Man and Mulholland drive are 10/10s

>the perfect director
Del Toro would have been miles better.

Takes a couple of viewings then it grows on you. Also, watch Lynch's original version not the Judas Booth version.
And why it sucks was he did not have final cut (something he gets on all his stuff nowadays)

>>82483789
Usually its the other way around, non-fans love it.

>>82484083
Well those fags are dumb. Even Frank Herbert liked Lynch's film. At least his novel got made into a movie. That's all he cared about.

>>82482401
Just read the book

>>82484083
>>82484126
Im going to read the whole Dune series before I watch the movie, in case it ruins some special properties of the book.

>>82484164
Just read the first novel. The Lynch film doesn't adapt anything from the rest of the series.

>>82482401
Yes. The beginning when money wasn't an issue is great.is great. But like the book, the more it goes on the worse it gets.

>>82484150
books are for fag's like you

parts are really great parts are fucking shit
>>82482418

>his name is a killing word

>>82484164
only the first book is good

>>82483838

>>82482401
If you've never read the book, sure, it's a weird film with some nice aesthetics and a 10/10 soundtrack by Toto.
If you've read the book, you'll probably hate it for bastardizing one of the greatest stories in all of science fiction.

>>82484637
First book is good. It's like Star Wars. It introduces the characters and universe. Then 2nd book goes Empire Strikes Back on us and we learn more about the philosophical side of things. The only catch is, the rest of the series is literally the Empire Strikes Back. There are no more high points like the first book. It's all depressing and spirals down further and further. By book 4 you just want to die.

>>82482401
lolno

For the visuals alone, yes.

If you want the Dune story (and have no prior knowledge whatsoever), no.

If you want the Dune story and know the basics, yes.
