There is no magical director's cut that would make it better. What we saw on the screen was truly terrible. Adding more terrible footage would not have made it better. Whatever problems Dune had, "not long enough" was not one of them.

Even if Jodorowsky's version was terrible at least we'd have gotten a good 70s Pink Floyd score out of it.

Dune is far and away the worst movie I ever saw in a theater. It was just a spectacular failure on virtually every level. The acting, the effects, the murky dimly lit sets, the dreadful narration. It's everything that can go wrong on a movie. David Lynch was an art-house guy who was clearly in way over his head and…

I always liked that Danny Elfman score.

Oh, vice president murder doesn't seem unrealistic. I could totally picture Cheney or Agnew or Aaron Burr murdering people for sport.

I used to work with a guy who really loved Stryper. What a jackass he was. Wonder if he's a Ted Cruz voter now.

Apparently we bought a victrola.

Which episodes of Star Trek?

I guess I'll listen to that album when Powell dies, if you insist.

David Lynch's Dune also works in the Fantastic Four sense.

You're right about the chicken or the pizza, but as gas station hotdogs go, they're not bad. Sometimes.

After hearing Keith Emerson died, I listened to a bunch of Emerson Lake & Palmer.

Oh, I don't work there. I'm just curious how it compares to gas station hotdogs, which I guess is the main competition for this thing.

Linda will never learn, Colonel. We just need to let her go.

How does it compare to a 7/11 hotdog?

Obama went to Nelson Mandela's funeral.

That was good practice for when Bill becomes First Lady next year.

Reagan didn't go to Bess Truman's funeral. George W. Bush didn't go to Ladybird Johnson's funeral. It's not a thing the president traditionally does. The First Lady goes to those.

James Doohan did have a nice beard.

Everything in 1976 was hideous.
