Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

Another thing about Lexx is I must've seen it around the same time I read Dune for the first time, because I always default to picturing the guy with the absolutely ridiculous hairstyle whenever reading the parts with Duncan Idaho, especially when he's a Ghola.

The Yo-Way-Yo thing seems more Gurney Halleck or maybe the Fremen pre-Jihading.
Is Zev an Honored Matre? :thinking:

(STAR TREK)
Cardassians should have that hairstyle as an option in Star Trek Online

Poor David Lynch. It's my understanding that he wanted to be credited as "Alan Smithee" for that film, which is an industry signal for "the studio destroyed my movie."

He is in the Extended Cut that has a 10 minute intro explaining the history of the Dune universe. If he hadn't directed Dune there's a good chance he would have directed Return of the Jedi, he was on the short list of directors for it.

The super long Smithee cut is fun in its own ways
A lot more b roll of spaceships and shit is cool
and the opening narrator isn't the chick, it's the same old guy who narrated the Mormon Jesus cartoon

Lynch talked about ROTJ. George Lucas asked him to direct the film and Lynch liked Lucas (who was rolling out the red carpet for Lynch), but Lynch saw the Ewoks and shit and wanted to get out of it without hurting Lucas's feelings or causing a scandal of some kind. People are petty and shitty in Hollywood to the Nth degree, everything is fake. The problem is Lynch's agent was like "David, this is the last Star Wars film, you're going to make a bazillion dollars, I cannot in good conscience tell you anything but to do this film." So Lynch said "George, why don't you direct the film?"

The funniest part is knowing Lynch hates exposition, and the book is literally just pages and pages of lore. So the movie keeps stopping so some voice can be like, "This man is Doctor Yueh, he is a traitor, but also a very sad guy". You can feel Lynch smoking off camera in a depressed state.


Harkonnens look like Captain Planet villains who discovered ayahuasca. There’s a real question of whether it’s absurdist or just a director trying to get fired on purpose.

Sean Young being the worst character in a David Lynch movie is ironic because she’s normally so eccentric. If Lynch had full control, half these characters would be gone.

My father always said David Lynch's Dune is so bad that you want Paul Atreides to lose.

The only decent Dune adaptation I've seen is the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series from around 2000. Dune was never meant to be anything more than a book.

It's definitely one of those things you cannot easily adapt. It would require several movies or seasons to do it any justice without it being a lot of boring narration.

Ian McNeice is not cosmic horror fat, he’s like regular British guy fat.:story:

He's always gonna be Bert Large in my brain. Just this lovable scammer. Casting him as the Baron is like casting John Goodman.

Honestly though, the game is cool. It's obviously very faithful and aimed at huge Trek nerds. I never actually finished it though. I kind of want to beat it just so I can have an actual opinion.

the point and click games were better in every way

It wasn't a good movie, but it was interesting. I went to a screening of it a year or two ago and had a blast. The Sci-Fi Channel miniseries is supposed to be better, I remember watching it premiere and enjoying it quite a bit, but I can't remember anything about it.
