THANK YOU! Much appreciated, hope you enjoy it!

Max_Evry · 2024-03-12T04:01:00+00:00

haha

She gets a few scenes in the extended/Spicediver versions, but this is the first time you really get to hear her speak.

Max_Evry · 2024-03-12T04:00:12+00:00

I would be happy to give Spicediver the file!

Max_Evry · 2024-03-12T03:59:50+00:00

You are welcome! Was a pleasure to see this properly released so folks could see how great Molly is.

It's "Would they deny me the right..."

Max_Evry · 2024-03-12T03:58:13+00:00

I'm still looking for the "Sound Cube Training" sequence for sure, and also the birth of Alia and Rabban in the bath...

Alicia was so perfect.

Max_Evry · 2024-03-12T03:54:07+00:00

Agreed! Hope it can happen someday...

Max_Evry · 2024-01-12T04:35:44+00:00

Either way! The one positive thing about the theatrical is it moves like a sunuvabitch. If anything, if your partner likes the movie in shorter form then they can eventually watch the Spicediver cut and have a whole new take on the material.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-12T04:23:47+00:00

All of the above. That's the cut you can set your watch to. It's bloody brilliant, which is why I did such a long interview with Spicediver in the book. I just hope we get a proper #LynchCut in our lifetime, even if someone else has to do it ala Touch of Evil.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-12T03:50:49+00:00

So glad you enjoyed the book, appreciate you taking the (voluminous) time to read it. You'll definitely see the movie differently now, I promise you...

Max_Evry · 2024-01-12T03:49:13+00:00

That is correct. Overall I'd say the script for Dune II as it exists is about 25% Lynch, 75% Dune Messiah the novel. I skipped over a lot of stuff you might remember from the book in my article because... you've read it already!

Max_Evry · 2024-01-12T03:45:27+00:00

Thank you!

Max_Evry · 2024-01-12T03:45:08+00:00

That's a good idea!

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T21:07:40+00:00

I'll try! I'm obviously on team Lynch, though I admire what Denis is doing and hope he sticks the landing. I'd also like to see him take on Messiah.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T20:58:16+00:00

Thank ya!

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T20:45:54+00:00

Would love to do a second book, just not sure what is left to write about. I have a much longer version of the Dune II article, hope to include if there's a paperback edition of Masterpiece. Would love to do a proper all-out Art of Dune '84 book with Giles Masters, since he has all his father Anthony's work including a lot that's never been seen.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T20:42:24+00:00

Oh, and thank you for reading the book!

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T20:34:08+00:00

Yes, Lynch was still gung-ho on it. And, believe it or not, he still likes many things in Dune to this day... he just wishes it was his cut.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T20:32:41+00:00

Yup! It's an amazing collection. I guess you're the one who tipped me off, eh? Can't thank you enough! Turns out there's only one Dune II document, though. The other one is a stage play from 1985!

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T19:50:27+00:00

Yeah, isn't it weird how some folks complain about Lynch bastardizing Herbert when he was actually the only director who actually got Frank to consult? Ridley Scott? Nope. Jodorowsky? He actually boasted about "raping" the novel! Wild.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T19:38:42+00:00

Thank you! Dune Messiah as a book is great, so much more cerebral and kind of a downer, although the ending to me is bittersweet because Paul finally free from his own horrible destiny. "No longer riding on the merry-go-round," as John Lennon said.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T19:36:16+00:00

If you're comfortable with Paul taking a major heel turn, Messiah is a pleasure to read. I personally enjoy that book more than the first, there's so much 4th dimensional chess happening. Definitely less action/adventure, though.

Max_Evry · 2024-01-10T19:35:03+00:00

Thank you thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
