This is my favourite film so I'm pretty tuned in to these phrases, and I've never heard anyone use any of them. I'm also pretty sure there's no "wheels within wheels" in it.
- gamblor956 7y agoDune is a book. The movie is just a horrible adaptation of that book.
- hanoz 7y agoAh, sorry. I'd somehow got it into my head that we were specifically talking about the movie. I do love the book too. But the movie is better.
- sgt101 7y ago>I do love the book too. But the movie is better. there must be other people who believe that, but I've never met any of them.
- johncoltrane 7y agoOne more, here.
- rolltiide 7y agoand another one My dad also liked the movie and I’ve tried to be relatable to people his age, only to notice that I missed 1980s newsgroups and conventions where people dissed the movie adaptation. maybe I’ll read the book.
- ekianjo 7y agobetter in what ways? Even Lynch does not want to say he was attached to the movie after it came out.
- toupeira 7y agoThat was only the horrible TV cut, his name is still attached to the theatrical version.
- cgriswald 7y agoI'd like to know, too. I can speculate about people being turned off by the shifting POV, heavy internal thoughts, and dry style of it. But I'd rather here it straight from the horse's mouth.
- eikenberry 7y agoYou should listen to the audio book of it. I've read the entire series, seen the movie and mini-series and listened to the audio-books... and the audio-book is by far the best. They are the voice acting type, with multiple readers for the different voices and they do a wonderful job. Just talking about it makes me want to listen to it again, such a good rendition.
- hanoz 7y agoThat's a good call. I have listened to it a couple of times and it is indeed very good. To any Dune fans who are not normally audiobook listeners I would say it would make an excellent use of a free Audible trial.
- thordenmark 7y agoThat is the first time I've seen anyone even suggest that. The movie has some memorable qualities, but hardly compares to the book's greatness.
