People love to imagine Jodorowsky's Dune as if this batshit version with Dean Stockwell, Patrick Stewart, Sting, and music by Toto and Brian Eno isn't enough for this world.

For a film so heavily edited from its original cut, there's a lot of unnecessary repetition in the first 15 minutes. As if the producers and editors were afraid that the audience wouldn't pick up the names of all the planets involved. The audience must know about Calaban!

Oops, it's Caladan. Maybe De Laurentiis was right!

As far as Villeneuve's version, I'll admit to being interested in how, in a modern context, you go about adapting the story of a white saviour emerging as the Messiah of an indigenous people who goes on to lead them on a violent jihad across the universe.

Bizarre to think that DUNE contains Lynch's first depiction of atomic weaponry in film when he would go on to depict it so memorably and pivotally in TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN.

Oh cool, he /was/ the Kwisatz Haderach. Great to end your film on a term that was mentioned very briefly early in the movie and not fully explained even then.
