In our continuing series Summertime Sadness, your Auntie Ruth suggested that Auntie Jeanna watch all 2 hours and 15 minutes of Dune, the 1984 version. So what would happen if you took a saga with as much material as Game of Thrones, and tried to condense it into one film? Wonder no longer, because Dune took on that challenge. While David Lynch was not given full control, hours of footage were cut, and what we are left with is some Lynchian fever dream with the earnest Kyle McLaughlin trying his hardest to shoulder this beast with a little Spice, the adventure is worthwhile. And while no one could quite tame this sandworm of a film, its contribution to the fantasy/sci-fi landscape is undeniable.
