Baron Vladimir Harkonnen's horrible skin disease > Lena Dunham's horrible skin art

I almost died when it was announced he was at the helm. He's fucking awful.

I am a fan of all the books Frank Herbert wrote (will not bother with his son's trash), and I too love Lynch's version. It's totally bizarre, and it's easy to spot where the studio messed with it, so I've learned to overlook some of its glaring flaws. The performances are superbly over-the-top and the set design is…

Great villain. And his scenes in Jaws 2 with Roy Scheider are fantastic. "Did you ever stop to THINK about that?"

Thank you for the LOL.

I can't believe I bothered to read this.

Yeah, people talk about how hard it is to adapt the first book. Try adapting God Emperor of Dune, a book in which 2/3'ds of it is a half-man, half-worm pontificating about the fate of the universe. Still, I'd pay to see it.

I liked them, too.

I like you better when you're painting than posting.

Then I'm just happy he's back attending classes in Reboot High!

OH GOD I LOVE A GOOD ORIGIN STORY ESPECIALLY THE FOURTH ONE

He probably also hates that when people think of The Shining, they think axe-thru-door/"Here's Johnny!". No one thinks of the book. I love the book, and it's one of King's best. I just think the movie, as an art form, is more memorable.

As others have stated, it's less of an adaptation than a jumping-off point. He liked the overall story, but tore out 2/3'ds of the book.

And he/Garris did, big time.

Stephen King is still moaning and groaning about Kubrick's version, even making a sequel to the story in the hopes that everyone will shut up about it. They won't. King's original book is great, but Kubrick's version of THE SHINING is one of the rare cases of the movie surpassing the book. It's deeper, more…

Also, in the scene when it's raining, he mutters something in German about it raining like drunken soldiers. I think director O'Bannon had a bit of a German WWII fetish and subtlely wrote him as a Nazi. I mean, the guy does operate a giant oven.

Well, don't laugh, but there are rumors he will show up in Episode VIII…..

Sardines on ice cream is a perfect analogy. I like Lou Reed, and I even like a lot of the new Metallica material. But LULU is absolute fucking garbage. Sometimes I put on the track "Pumping Blood" when I need a good laugh, but really, the only reason to put that album on is to clear out a party faster than a bad fart.

He's been on the last several seasons of Grey's Anatomy. He's doing OK.

I had to look her up…it's Shirley Henderson, who played Spud's GF Gail in the original. My head sort of exploded.
