The 1984 David Lynch version of Dune is a terrible movie.

I might have been too nice to it. I think I was... I didn't like it, and I thought it was bad. But I like it less as time has gone on. I will definitely say that. That is the reverse of, I think, most people. What, the... It grows on them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. The David Lynch dude seems to have grown on people a lot more. Believe me, they hated it that much. I have a suspicion that were I to get deep... Deep into Dune. I might be able to revisit it and see a certain amount of charm and things that are maybe being pointed to from deep Dune lore that don't come out in the actual telling of the story in the movie as it's presented. I could see my appreciation of it growing. That direction? Sure. But that has not happened. No. And as a movie, I just think it's terrible.

The scene with the single man mopping in the 1984 Dune movie ruined the film.

I think that that scene might have been a big problem for me in the first one. It might have been too much, because it's so early in the movie, and I think it was too much. Yeah. I think it was just like, guys. Guys. I genuinely think that for... Brains like yours and mine. At this point in 2024, with our knowledge of movies and movie history and shit, you cannot have the guy by himself mopping without us being like, I can't watch this movie! It's over! There needs to be eight guys mopping or no guys mopping! I think that was a choice and it was distracting and it ruined the movie.
