Nah. I’m being generous with a 5 since it’s David Lynch. Maybe a 4 honestly. Could have shortened it to 100mins. It would probably still have sucked

It's a tough book to make a screenplay from. I was pretty young when I decided it was awesome, so that may be playing a part
Denis Villeneuve’s strategy was smarter. Split it up in multiple movies.
There was a 6 part SciFi Channel series in 2000 that I liked a lot. Long episodes too, and basically the book verbatim iirc.
Nobody else seems to have seen it other than me though :/
What’s it called? Which director?
John Harrison... lol? Looks like he was executive producer on recent blockbusters, so he has that going for him
OMG love #Dune. I read the book at least once a year and pick up new things every time. The audiobook rendition of Dune is fantastic too!
Hello! Nice to know another fellow gentleman of such refined taste!
I read first book pretty young, came back and read it again plus the remaining 5 books years later. Just reread all 6 last year on audiobook!
I track all my reading here ➝ https://briangreen.net/reading
Thanks for sharing. Reminds me I wanna read neuromancer soon.
Hyperion, dune books, snowcrash, and midnight (lol) are only ones I've read from a quick scan of the list.
