The worst things about the Lynch movie for me -
1. its totally incomprehensible plot (given the need to depict 10000
years of subtle power relationships, but the editing made it even
worse)
2. the Harkonnens were cartoon figures HAHA! I AM EVIL! HAHAHA!
3. the intentionally gratuitous repellant scenes with heart plugs,
etc.
But at least it had energy. I'll watch part 2 tonight, but they will
probably introduce a menage a trois with Paul, Chani, and Irulan in
the name of "furthering the plot".
