A few B movies that battle for the worst movie Ive seen:

Battlefield Earth - so bad its almost good

Battleship - so bad its just bad

Birdemic - so bad it has to be on purpose

The movie" battleship" is not bad. It needs another half hour added to it.

I actually liked all three. Not a lot but at least a little bit.

Crash...very good look into racism
Momento.... Oddly good, very strange
Mulholland Drive...... just NOT good..... maybe I should watch it again.


I want to see the Wizard Of Oz.... at the Sphere. Been in the Sphere Once....Awesome. Vegas.

The Girl Boss thing is from your side of the aisle, not mine.

Not everything is idealogical, Marty.

I'd have no problem with an original character who was a girl boss.

I have a huge problem when it is an established character with a defined role in the story.

You see, again, I have to disagree. I think the two-parter movie they did dragged on too long, particularly the desert scenes in Part 2.

They also completely ruined Chani's character by turning her into a Disney Girl Boss.

The Lynch version got all the key plot points in, and moved it along rather nicely.

As for the voiceovers, in the original film they were done by Virginia Madsen as Princess Irulan (which is consistent with the book, where each chapter began with her writings) or by the actors defining their thought processes, which again is consistent with the book.

Now, is it a perfect film? Hardly.

Did it tell the story effectively? For the most part, yes.

It’s been a long time since I watched it, but I did not like the Lynch version. The more recent movies I thought were ok, at best.
My favorite is actually the mini series the Sci-Fi channel did. It may not have been the most faithful to the books (I didn’t really enjoy the original book all that much and never read any of the sequels), but I found it to be the most engaging adaptation.

For me it was A Clockwork Orange.....It's enough to make you want to gouge your eyes out.



The sad part is I really like Malcom McDowell.

I've watched every episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000...You don't know diddly from shitty movies....You don't know what real cinematic pain is.

Have to disagree, I think it's a great movie. Has a lot of people in it who went on to do bigger and better things.

I tihnk it mostly captured the spirit of Frank Herbert's original novel. (And Herbert himself praised it.)

The only bad thing I will say about it is that if you haven't read the book, you'll have a hard time following the movie.

i remember thinking - wtf is this? when they handed out sheets of paper with definitions or some such shit...

but to be perfectly honest, it was a toss up between DUNE & this pos:



but that one had no homework.

I thought the Sci-Fi version was the closest of the three to the book, but it also had six hours to let the material breathe.

I've read all six of Frank Herbert's original novels, but not the awful "prequels" someone ghost-wrote for his son.

Any movie that was featured on MST3K could be a contender for the title

Mulholland Drive was a classic

David Lynch was a genius

You don't think the change in this case was ideological?

Please.

I think that some screenwriter thought he was smarter than the original creator, which often happens.

Pretty much how they've destroyed Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who in recent years. These shows were always "woke", but some screenwriter twit thinks she is so much smarter, and then you get Lesbian Space Witches.

They weren't "woke", they were thought provoking.

woke doesn't provoke thought, it assumes the answer before the question.

Star Wars was an allegory for the Vietnam War.

Star Trek had a racially diverse crew when segregation was still a thing in this country.

Um, yeah, those shows were woke.

They just weren't badly written.

Not woke. progressive maybe, but not woke.

And that is 60's to 80's progressive, which isn't what we have today.

So you came up with a buzzword to make being a decent human being sound bad.

Good for you.
