finished dune 1984! would i have enjoyed it if it didn't star kyle maclachlan? it's hard to say. i love the terrible effects & the score goes hard (toto?!), plus there were some delightfully nasty moments which i always appreciate. and i could never overlook that little pug. also i'm not huge on scifi as a genre, so i tend to like bad scifi more than good scifi (for which reason among others i don't ever intend to watch villeneuve's dune). overall... well i definitely was bored through a lot of it—the plot, which i had kind of a sense of due to cultural osmosis or whatever, didn't matter to me at all—but there were several moments where i was interested in what lynch was doing & i do wonder what he could have done given more freedom.

#ive also never read dune and i dont intend to (once again not really into scifi as a genre)#also there were many things that made me laugh out loud though i cant even remember what now #in all honesty i was only giving like 75% attention to the movie bc its too late for coffee and because my baseline state is chronic boredom #but yknow. i do what i can. and im posting thoughts here bc so many irls follow me on letterboxd and im afraid to voice my opinions
