How sad. Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive (the IMO under-appreciated pilot), and yes his Dune even though he didn't like it are some of my favourite movies of all

Blue Velvet and Elephant Man. Discover them or help someone else discover them.

  Of course I know them (actually watched Elephant Man as a kid on the big screen!). Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive just sting harder as unspeakable reflection on who we pretend to be to ourselves vs how we might look in the eyes of a cruel society IMO if my interpretation isn't totally nuts. I think I'm going to watch MD right now in memoriam!

We discovered a cut that was about three hours that people who hadn’t read the book seemed to understand. Had a different intro and flowed better. I’ve seen three versions of this movie. The theatrical and the longest one both sucked for anyone not a Herbert fan. I thought the longest was the director’s cut but he never did one. Perhaps it was the TV movie cut. But I don’t know what the “good” one was called.

  My best guess is that you're thinking of the Spicediver edit, a fan edit which runs about three hours, and is highly regarded.

    Do you know when this was made? The version I am thinking of existed at least as early as 1995, possibly 1993. Someone else hosted us so that removes a lot of the clues I would normally use to figure out when exactly it happened.

  This page on IMDB has all the "legitimate" versions I'm aware of, but I'm sure there are unauthorized cuts out there: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/alternateversions/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/alternateversions/ A non-theatrical "director's cut" is a Mandela Effect moment for me. I don't know what I watched. It wasn't the TV version, because that was the first version I watched. I can only guess that it was a common mistake to call some version "the director's cut" among viewers (or maybe just my friends) in the past. The list I've linked to certainly wasn't illuminating for me, but maybe it will be for you.
