Dune (2021) Review (LINK) This Dune (2021) Review Tells You What the Extra ‘E’ in Chalamet Stands For!

Dune-troduction

Do you like sand, even if it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere?

Do you like opened ended 150 minute adaptations of novels larger than engine blocks?

Do you like actor and parttime assassin Timothee Chalamet?

If you answered yes to all of these questions then it stands to reason you will like director Denis Villeneuve’s long awaited version of Frank Herbert’s science fiction classic.

In the 70s Alejandro Jodorowsky tried to adapt Dune. His failed attempt was turned into one 2014’s best documentaries, Jodorowsky’s Dune. You’re left to wonder what Jodorowsky would have done with the material, but the “If only” makes for a fascinating movie in its own right.

In 2000, there was a miniseries made which no one saw. I hadn’t heard of it until about 10 minutes before I began typing this up. Did any of you actually see it?

I have no f*cking clue that this ever existed.

The internet says it did, so it must have.

And of course, the 1984 critical and box-office failure of David Lynch’s adaptation that causes Lynch PTSD every time you mention it. So don’t ever say the word to him even if the sound is embedded into another word (Brigadoon, cardoon, lardoon, bradoon). I don’t think it’s an absolutely terrible movie, even if the only thing you really remember is Sting in his underwear.
