Who?

Who?

[betiko]

Awesome!
I heard a rumour about it but didn t research.
Twin peaks was such a great show, so many shows were inspired by it. I got to say I only watched it the early 2000s, but I m a great fan of his movies.
I think i probably watched mulholland drive like 8 times or so, and each time it s a new experience with new thoughts. That movie deserves its own thread though.

And f*ck you for the "he s dead" joke!

Note that I did take the time to identify each broadcast station in separation. I used to think like you exactly the same but then Banshee happened

I don't think I'll watch the new Twin Peaks. Ten yars ago I would have been thrilled to learn that there was gonna be a sequel but now I feel like I will only be disappointed in it; it can't be as good as the original.
Well maybe if the music is as good I'll give it a try.

The original has always seemed overrated to me. Not trying to pull a hipster here, but it really wasn't great. Groundbreaking, sure, but not great. I think he's a better director now than he was back then though. Maybe more in control of his ideas.

That said, Dune is a guilty pleasure.

I haven't watched it with 2010s eyes; I just remember it fromwhen I watched it in 1999 or 2000, and it was already an old show; and I think it was really captivating.

You don't really need to use the same characteers or anything, just keep the athmosphere, and probably move on to another crime in that same small city and use references to what happened.
I don't know, like the show fargo that managed to re-use the athmosphere in the movie, and to do 2 seasons that have nothing to do with one another in terms of story or characters... but that are keeping the same athmosphere.

He butchered Dune.

Except the Baron Harkonnen, that was great.

Of course Baron Harkonnen was great. Patrick Stewart too. The syfy series were more accurate, but kinda dull. At least I felt something about the "My name has become a killing word" stuff.

Blech. Filthy heretic.

The problem with adapting Dune is that it's unadaptable, as was said about it for years. It's a dense series that relies on pages upon pages of the reflecting, introspective thoughts of the main character, which doesn't translate well to film. How does one convey the weight of prescience attained by first Paul and then Leto into a ~2 hour movie without reading? I mean seriously, read the books, try to comprehend the power of the Kwisatz Haderach, and then try to make that into a movie with Sting? I recall that the miniseries was a bit better, but it's been while since I've seen it so I don't remember how good it was.

Instead you're left with something like a bastardization of the Voice to a mere blunt weapon instead of the implication of suggestion and control that it was. It'd be the same for the Foundation series. There's no way you could put to film the mind games that the second Foundation use without reducing it to flashy sorcery.

The problem with saying that Dune is unadapatable is that it's been adapted. At least twice.

The rest is just bitching about how far the experience of reading a book adapts to the experience of watching a movie.

Turns out they're not the same experience.

It's almost like you should....
