Ah, 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.

      and 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.

  better in what ways? Even Lynch does not want to say he was attached to the movie after it came out.
  • toupeira 7y ago
    That was only the horrible TV cut, his name is still attached to the theatrical version.

    I'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.

  You 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.

    That'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.

  That 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.
