I liked the Lynch flick, too. Haven't seen it in a while but it's one of maybe 2 movies I've seen twice in a theater. I might have to find it and see how it holds up now.
[rant] The trailer for this one looks cool, but there was something visually real before they let the cartoonists take over the CGI. Henson days. Used to be a whole cottage industry from LA to Riverside of people who made actual things for movies. For a minute I helped some of them with CAD software and next thing you know someone decides to just skip the making things step. Ray tracing is pretty, but I don't remember Lynch's looking like a superhero fantasy. The software goons have never cared about physics or normal wear and tear--the details of reality. [/rant]
I never have gone deep into the son's stuff, but a few decades or so between readings didn't hurt my enthusiasm for the books.

Also super stoked for this. I guess I am in the minority in that I loved the Lynch Dune flaws and all. I watched it on HBO the other night and it inspired me to reread the novel again. I liked Blade Runner 2049 but like Tenet the soundtrack was overbearingly loud. I read that Dune is the same. I love Hans Zimmer but it seems like the early 2000's trend of remastering when all they did was up the volume of the masters instead of making it better is happening in movies. At least the trend of short cuts and shaky cam has faded thank God . I hope that they don't dumb it down like they do all movies nowadays. Also read that the cinematography is up there with Lawrence of Arabia & 2001 S.O. which the material certainly suites that sort of treatment

It better be better than the new Bond.
I don't think I can handle two sub-par almost 3-hour blockbusters in one month...

Then why do we use prop planes and helicopters when we have jets and rocket powered aircraft? Not a serious question. Just pointing out why I don't think the Dune ornithopters are something to really nitpick. I dunno. Maybe there's a practical reason for it in the Duniverse, but sometimes it's best to just accept certain things as being cool and not overthink it.

Dune inspired
About The Spice... some quality Psytrance
Dune's happy hardcore songs not about Dune are better than The Spice which is too much hardcore vibes

saw it has a PG-13 rating, hoping it's something my 10 year old can watch (she doesn't scare easily, it's the sexual stuff that she has not been exposed to).

I'm not a puritan, we just haven't had all of the sexual discussions with her yet. But shit, you watch Disney movies and you've been seeing people get killed since you were 5.

Yo, Summit. As a fellow connoisseur of 90s Dune-related EDM, do you remember this jam from back in our day?

Ars just did a superb review on Lynch's Dune:
Before the new version, let’s revisit 1984’s Dune—the greatest movie ever made

Make sure to read all the captions on the photo slideshows. Author, Peter Opaskar, nails the vibe. It's a fun read.
