    Personally I liked the 1984 Dune. Would watch all 4 hours if it was released.

    Peak 80s movie moment: Listening to the weird wacky otherly world soundtrack, when all of a sudden ripping guitar solo. https://youtu.be/jzj6b2YV2aA

    Lmao someone put it on the 2024 Dune https://youtu.be/NaaJRGYSyGo

      My first encounter with Dune was staying up all night to record it off Sci-Fi on VHS. I was just a naive teenager, I didn’t know what I was in for. By the time Feyd Rautha showed up I was so tired and confused…

      It took many years before I read the books but I’m glad I did, and I’m glad we’ll actually get to see Paul’s story wrapped up for once.

      I can’t remember the moment and I have to be quiet and can’t find my headphones, so I’m going to assume the music is from Wyld Stallyns

    A true blow for film fans. Lynch was a visionary that really didn’t compromise. Pushed the medium forward. A true artist. People often complain about his approach to storytelling in films but after seeing one of his films they are rarely forgotten or thought of as “just another movie”.

      Here is a good mix by Nicholas Jaar that kicks off with a familiar tune. Last I listened was when Angelo died.

        I had the same idea and already have it playing. That opening with Angelo talking about their process is just beautiful.
