"We're white hat wearers!"

The short answer is no, not really.

Well, he could also be crazy.

Ed Harris might be an early associate of Anthony Hopkins who's just disappeared into the game. Hopkins rattled off the names of some early programmers. He might be one of those people.

That store had a bunch of Barons and the little Sardaukar guys.

Nobody bought that stuff.

There was a discount toy store in Orlando that had all kinds of marked down stuff that hadn't done so well at Toys R Us the previous Christmas. A while after Dune came out they one day had an aisle FULL of Dune toys. Big stacks of the shit. Action figures were absurdly marked down, like 25 cents a piece. I bought…

I saw it the opening weekend, and it was pretty packed…at the beginning. About half the audience left before it was over. People booed and wadded up those little glossary things and threw them at the screen. I've never seen an audience so seething with hate.

David Lynch was an arthouse guy and he had no earthly idea how to shoot a big epic Lawrence of Arabia In Space-sized film. He was in way over his head and it shows. It's just a terrible movie.

I honestly forgot about that Seinfeld episode.

I don't think anyone on the Empire side actually says the words "Death Star." I think they only ever refer to it as a a battle station. I always thought "Death Star" was a Rebel code word for it.

The cantina band should have been the performing act that Palpatine and Anakin were watching at that big venue on Coruscant, instead of Space Cirque du Soleil or whatever that was. They go from playing big arenas in the prequels to crummy backwater clubs 20 years later.

The Sith are referred to in the 1977 novelization of Star Wars.

"Seven Days in May would be more enjoyable if we spread it out over 40 or so hours, wouldn't it?"

Would Kevin James be cheaper?

Burrito Drone would be a good name for a band.

The trailer certainly makes the movie look more fun than it was.

I thought that, too. "What are people doing jerking off to a book about a skiing accident! It makes no sense!" I thought. My 8th grade English teacher had a poster of that movie for some reason.

I'll grant you, the guy playing the Baron seems to be having a good time. Von Sydow & Stewart are good, but there's not much of them. Stewart has what, three lines?
"Moods are for cattle and lovemaking!"
"You young pup! You young pup!"
"I see a Harkonnen animal!"

Watch "Lawrence of Arabia" instead. Dune is basically "Shitty Lawrence of Arabia in Space Made by an Arthouse Guy Who Doesn't Know How to Make Epics."
