      Still better than whatever garbage Jodorowsky was going to put out. That’s right, I said it.

      Dude didn’t even read Dune, and bragged about it. Could have made an awesome sci-fi film, but instead had to co-opt a classic novel

        Jodorowsky brags about not knowing how to make movies and still makes them. He does brings about interesting imagery but the intentionally naive cinematographic style gets stale and boring pretty quickly.

      I’d say Denis’ is waaaaaaay worse, they ruined Chani and added some nonsense subplot in part two as well… it’s just prettier. 😤

      I loved Arrival though, and I do feel like most disruptive changes in his Dunes were studio notes because it would be more relatable to “modern audiences”.
