Random Music Talk LXVI: This is not a rutabaga song...this is CELERY SALTY CELERY!!

[cobl04]

Well correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the book came out in 65 and the film in 84. I have no interest in sci-fi, don't frequent the film and book threads here, and scroll past references in here I don't get.

Hence, I have never heard of Dune.

 

[Danny Boy]

The chick in the miniseries had a great rack, if that peaks your interest at all.

 

[No spoken words]

Dune the book is great, but dear God, that movie offends me on about a million levels.

The movie offends David Lynch, so, you're in good company.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I vaguely remember the movie being God-awful.

Is she part of a click?

 

[No spoken words]

It is. But, for me, in the best way possible. It's my favorite bad movie. So fucking bad. So awesome.

I was gonna correct him then decided to let it be, see who would be the obnoxious one. DJP FTW.

 

[cobl04]

The Room is easily my favourite bad movie. Fucking hilarious.

It's not true I did not hit her it's bullshit I did not hit her I did naht

Oh hai Mark

 

[mobvok]

apropos of little else but I have to mention it

No sweeping shots of Arrakeen tonight, as the credits are instead delivered by Christiane Gomjabbar, a Fremen reporter embedded with the third brigade of the 109th mechanized sandworm cavalry division, as she shows us a blurry, green-hued night-vision shot of Leto approaching the outskirts of Jacurutu on the back of a M1A3 sandworm.

That is from the TWOP recap of Children of Dune, and I remember just about dying of laughter at how lame/awesome that name pun was. This was in March 2003, after I'd spent the last two weeks watching the cable news live broadcast from tanks invading Iraq. (ah, more blurry desert!) I've remembered that for the last 9 years.

Alright, alright. I'll watch it. For me, this type of thing is a genre unto itself, and a favorite at that.

Would it be problematic if I watched it blind drunk before reading the book? Do they have anything in common at all?

 

[lazarus]

No more spice, Lazzy.

I said, no more spice. Maybe you didn't hear about it, you've been away a long time. They didn't go up there and tell you. I don't spice shoes anymore.

Relax, I'm just hassling your House a little, that's all.

I think in this case, you're safe to watch it drunk before reading. I mean, there's lots in common, but, still......wait, you know what? Don't do it, read it first....

The movie offends David Lynch, so, you're in good company.

Does it really?

It is. But, for me, in the best way possible. It's my favorite bad movie. So fucking bad. So awesome.

I know we've talked about this before, but see, the movie just pissed me off. I love movies that are so bad they're good, but Lynch just sucked the life out of the text and I can't forgive it that. He made a boring movie, and that bugs me, because as of late, I consider him to be my favorite director. OF ALL TIME. Taking a text I love, and a director I love and creating something not good is something I find hard to swallow.


BUT TO EACH THEIR OWN! I know how you feel about it. I was just disappointed that I personally couldn't get a so bad it's good feeling from it.

 

[No spoken words]

Does it really?

He has disavowed any involvement.....it became an Alan Smithee release, I believe.....the production company fucked with it big time and he hated what they did to it, etc.

I wasn't responding to you hating it as much as I was talking to Danny/your husband. I know it's atrocious.

I guess I had not followed that aspect very closely. Interesting, I'll have to look into it more.

Yeah, I got ya. Travis has been wanting to see it for a while. I've been trying to keep him away, but uh, I think I lost him tonight.

 

[No spoken words]

Make him stop. The film might ruin the book for him. The book will never ruin the film, however, since it's already ruined.

TRAVIS, STOP

 

[lazarus]

Alejandro Jodorowsky's adaptation would have been a LOT more interesting:

Design by Giger and Moebius
Pink Floyd soundtrack
Orson Welles, Mick Jagger, Salvador Dali acting

Coming from a huge Lynch fan, I never bought this shifting-the-burden thing. Reading about how the film was made, I think it was first and foremost his fault that the movie got so fucked up. He simply didn't understand the material, which he himself had admitted afterwards.

Not that he can't make great movies from somebody else's material... The Elephant Man and The Straight Story

 

[The Sad Punk]

I have tried to watch Dune twice and I've failed both times. Not even a young Kyle MacLachlan and the prospect of Sting in futuristic underwear can get me through it.

 

[u2popmofo]

Is Dune that game where you shoot demons from Hell on Mars?

Careful, NSW has removed people's heart plugs for less blasphemous remarks.

 

[bono_212]

Hopeless Romantic by The Bouncing Souls is an awesome album. That is all.

 

[u2popmofo]

The album after it, How I Spent My Summer Vacation, is awesome as well!

Spoiler

And the album after that might be my fav, but admittedly is a "post-9/11 album", so it might be a bit dated at this point.

Turn on your heart plug
Let it shine wherever you go
Let it make the spice flow
For all Geidi Prime to see

Turn on your heart plug
In the middle of Feyd Rautha's dream
Don't wake me up too soon
Gonna take a ride across Dune

you and me

I will keep all that in mind. Though the prospect of the third album you've mentioned doesn't sound all that palatable, given how fun this album was. I don't know what to expect from your description.


On to Blackwater Park by Opeth. I'm uh...yeah...what the fuck is this? I didn't think they were deathgrowly?

Good hell there's a lot of paperwork involved with buying a house.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Good hell there's a lot of paperwork involved with buying a house.

Someone once told me that buying a house isn't all that scary or difficult. All you have to do is just sign your name where they tell you to a thousand times.
