Dune, with Sting!
Now this is a movie I really should have live-blogged, because dude, it is some weird ass and yet tedious shit.
There were a number of things I can recall pretty vividly, though.
-Why is there a guild navigator in this movie at all? They don't show up until Dune Messiah.
-Disappointed that the emperor doesn't have red hair.
-What is with the freaky mini-wigs for eyebrows on the mentats? I mean, seriously!
-Hurrah for Patrick Stewart, doing his best with the lines he was given! I was very happy he was playing my favorite Atreides lieutenant, Gurney Halleck.
-The puppy! What the hell?
-The actor playing Piter de Vries reminded me weirdly of Chris Kattan, and it was supremely distracting.
-Why does the Baron have a skin disease?
-I think Sting had about four lines in the whole movie. But made up for them all with his big stretch in his underwear.
-Baron Harkonnen is friggin' insane about accordion music!
-The Shaddout Mapes is Maude!
-Paul, your dreams don't make any sense.
-Weird-ass sequence of traveling through space with a guild navigator that looks like a fetus projectile-vomiting light. Yeah.
-Where did this obsession with the second moon come from? What the hell?
-Very disappointed with the "huuuu-CHA" Weirding Way. Also, weirding modules? Huh?
-He's a HarKONnen! A fuckin' HarKONnen! HarKONnen!
Trippy, yet boring. Full of things from the book to the point of absurdity, but missing entire other chunks that could have helped the plot along or developed the characters. Also, stole things from Dune Messiah inexplicably that did nothing for the plot or characters. Overall, supremely and memorably terrible.
