I hope against hope that it confuses and confounds Villeneuve fans across America.

in reply to @belarius's post:
I have a weird relationship with Villneuve, because I know him as "the guy who did the movie about the school shooting", but almost no one know what I am talking about because this was a movie made in Quebec, and most people who talk about Villeneuve kind of gloss over that whole part of his career.
Also, the new Dune movie was a big pile of "meh" and "oh boy they really are cramming the first half of this book in this thing." The David Lynch adaptation at least let the material breath a little. Then again, none of the Dune adaptation have been great. But Sting in a codpiece is nice.
What I appreciate about Lynch's 1984 adaptation is that, in nearly every shot, it makes inscrutable creative decisions, and does so boldly. Lynch's penchant for the surreal saturates the entire film with moon logic, in defiance of most science fiction's pedestrian need to explain and canonize each of its technical details. It's a mess in precisely the way a sprawling dream is a mess, and that's very much a vibe.
