I don’t know if I agree with foolish I never got to see it in the theater so I definitely will. I would pay to go see a lot of older movies in the theater.
Who is the bigger fool? The fool or ? I would definitely watch this in a theater. Same as I have watched the re-release of a bunch of Hitchcock and Miyazaki movies.
Dune is fun and a special kind of weird.
I had lots of friends with massive crushes on Kyle McLaughlin, so I’ve seen most of what he was in.
The rest of my friends had weird crushes on David Lynch
there was some crossover between 2 and 3
And then we’re not considering the whole Patrick Stewart thing. I can’t even remember if he played Gurney or Duncan (how is this a name and how much crack have you smoked?) Idaho.
I think Duncan was supposed to be the attractive one… leading to his weird immortal future as a resurrecting ghola so he could keep impregnating people?
The whole thing is bonkers. And I don’t mean that in a bad way.
Personally, I think that the original Lynch Dune did a lot to set the tone for sets and costumes for the next 25 years. And it was better than it gets credit for. Jodorowsky… yeah I’ve seen the drawings.
I have a love-hate relationship with David Lynch’s adaptation.
I first saw it when I was about 13 on TV, dubbed in French with no English subtitles. So I barely understood a word of the dialogue. But the pure epicness shone through those challenges and I vowed to see the original English version.
When I saw the original English version a couple of years later it was everything I hoped it would be, and then some. It was amazing.
Then a few years after that I read Herbert’s novel, and that movie was forever tarnished. Reading the meticulous way he forged the plot really shone a light on the movie’s plot shortcomings that I had been ignoring.
So now I see a deeply flawed movie, but also one that is still epic and beautiful and revolutionary to the industry. They really should have made it as a real miniseries from the beginning, so they could give it space to breathe. Trying to cram that incredibly dense novel into just two or three hours on the silver screen was doomed to fail.
His cell sample was saved by the Sardaukar because he was such an impressive fighter. Later he was repeatedly resurrected by Leto II partly out of nostalgia and partly for his breeding program
Ok, but… why?
For the same reason movie theaters will re-show anything. Because foolish people with money will pay to go see it. Like me.

It can’t be that bad a name, there’s an entire US state named after him
He played Gurney Halleck. “Great” movie. (Ok ok I get the hate, but I like it so deal with it! Lol)

Tbh I’d rather go see a rescreening of most movies than a remake. Or, god forbid,
MaddenMarvel '24.Dune should be an exception. Villeneuve did it so much better than Lynch it’s ridiculous.
You call that money?
You’ll have a lot more fun in life if you ask “Why not?” instead.
Why not, not release it again?
