some thoughts on “Dune”:

  • you can either have no hair or bad hair
  • David Lynch cameo, waddup
  • Big Ed Hurley playing a different character, waddup (your cheekbones are unmistakeable) 
  • Kyle Maclachlan, Big Ed Hurley, Brad Dourif, Jack Nance, Dean Stockwell were all in it and have been in other Lynch projects.
  • Brian Eno has worked with the Davids Lynch and Byrne.
  • at one point there’s a pug on the spaceship? and it’s there when they arrive on Dune, but then it’s never seen again? WHAT HAPPENED.
  • really, their names are Paul and Jessica, and everyone else has sci-fi names? really?
  • it could’ve been titled “Spice World”
  • I couldn’t decide if it was riffing off of Tolkein (the signet ring (which ended up not being thaaat important)) or the Bible (space messiah) more.
  • it didn’t matter that Sting was in it. 
  • the fat flying barron was kind of cool.
  • there were still some moments that were very ~Lynch, even though he didn’t get final say/cut, and I can understand why he’s embarrassed about it. It’s really not his film.
  • Paul’s little sister was scary mostly, I think, because her voice was dubbed.
  • all the voice overs started to sound the same.
