QuoteLynch disavowed Dune – it's the one movie he wishes he had never made. He wasn't alone: Dune was regarded as a baroque disaster for years: unintelligible and absurd.
But as the second half of Denis Villeneuve's slicker, sleeker take on the Herbert novel dominates the global box office, it is fair to say that the 1984 movie is no longer perceived as a disaster for the ages. Many have a sneaking fondness for it, blemishes and all. These include its star Kyle MacLachlan, who plays the Timothée Chalamet role of boy prophet Paul Atreides. "I look at it as a flawed gem," he told IndieWire in 2020. "It's stunning in so many ways."
Lynch never got over not having final cut. He had pushed for a three-hour run-time. Dino De Laurentis, mindful of the realities of the cinema business, insisted on two hours, and the movie that reached the screen in a truncated 137 minutes. It's widely regarded as incomprehensible to those coming fresh to Herbert's intricate universe. Still, Dune 1984 remains singular – only Lynch could have made it.

QuoteEighteen year old Red and her friends are on a road trip in an RV, heading to the beach for Spring Break. It's a long drive but spirits are high. Until the RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere. There's no mobile phone reception and nobody around to help. And as the wheels are shot out, one by one, the friends realise that this is no accident. There's a sniper out there in the dark watching them and he knows exactly who they are. One of the group has a secret that the sniper is willing to kill for.https://www.goodreads.com/de/book/show/61313902
