I think Lynch has admitted he blew it. I know theres a TV cut of it that added in a few hours of material. It shows up from time to time when its broadcast, but i dont think its on DVD?

I liked Dune. there is an uncut version out there now.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains. The stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

Fraz's Dune is my 'Bonfire of the Vanities.' Perhaps the best book I read in JHS turned into an unrecognizable mess on the big screen. It has jaundiced my opinion of De Palma [yes THAT De Palma] to this day. It hardens my heart against Bruce Willis more than any other shitty movie or Kevin Smith diatribe I've come across to date. It's like if you told all your friends that XXXyyy had the best pizza on earth, and finally cajoled them into trying some. Then, when you get there, their only pizza has seagull shit laying in piles on top of it, and you're like "well obviously I wasn't praising seagull shit pizza, but you've GOT to believe me . . . "

I'm finishing up a "book" right now (actually the second Walking Dead compendium...don't laugh...it's actually pretty good) and I was wondering what to read next. I could read Dune....why not? PS - what's up with the fridge comment??

I watched Love last night. I liked the styling of it, mostly because they seemed to have copied 2001. But overall, it was just 'meh'. Not terrible, but not exactly 'good'. A lot of it is stream of consciousness that I'm usually just not into (unless it actually builds to decent payoff).

Then, unfortunately, it started. From Irulan's opening, monotone, "Oh I forget" monologue, I knew something was amiss. But Leto and Paul were okay. But the dude from Excalibur (Patrick Stewart) as Gurney Halleck? He's not lumpy and ugly! Did these idiots even read the book? Then they had the ****tarded blocky shields, which even by 1985 FX standards were awful. Seriously? And who is this ****ing clown playing Baron Harkonnen? He's not sinister, there's no deep, rumbling base voice, and HE'S NOT EVEN ALL THAT FAT. Holy shit. And it just kept getting worse. And worse. AND WORSE. Weirding modules? WHAT IN THE BLUE **** IS A WEIRDING MODULE????? Sound weapons? That shit wasn't in the book! The Fremen didn't just blindly accept Paul and Jessica because they wandered along. And who casted this turd? The guy playing Stilgar is the worst actor I've ever seen. Whole sections of the book are missing - principal characters are missing. And after all that bullshit, at the end.... it rains? IT ****ING RAINS? IT DIDN'T RAIN ON ARRAKIS FOR GENERATIONS IN THE BOOKS! **** YOU **** YOU **** YOU AAAAAAAAHHHHHH I wanted to throw myself in front of a bus when I walked out of the theater that night. I would have never dreamed it was possible to so totally and completely **** something up that much. To take something so good and make it into something so bad. GODDAMN YOU LYNCH THERE ARE NO EXCUSES BURN IN HELL. And that's why I hate this movie. Last edited by Frazod; 01-14-2013 at 12:55 PM..

If I wasn't a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, I would have turned Tree of Life off pretty quickly. It's not for everyone, that's for sure.

If we're going to allow comic book movies i would add several, but there is a difference between them to me.

I enjoyed Melancholia...for more reasons than Dunst's boobs even.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes kinda counts. Doing a search to jog my memory and saw this, never heard of it so just throwing it out there. Is It Just Me... Or Is Sunshine The Best Sci-fi Flick Of The Century? http://www.totalfilm.com/features/is...of-the-century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_%282007_film%29 Last edited by KChiefer; 01-09-2013 at 07:57 PM.. |
