Yes, there is a new Dune, but it doesn’t mean we have to throw the old one down the toilet.

How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Bryan: Disowned by a director who didn’t get final cut. Hated by fans who thought it strayed to far from the book. Brushed off as a faiulre and a mess by those who haven’t even seen it. I love this movie and Lynch fans should embrace it as opposed to dismissing it. The Lynchian stamp is all over this film from the design, the themes and the actors. Grab a cup of spice and let’s go the weirding way.
