I watched a David Lynch movie called Lost Highway, I thought that they should have called it Lost Movie Viewer. I had a friend explain it to me (3 times, even) and I still dont get it. Have never read Dune or watched the movies however, that and the Wheel of Time series are some books that I am saving as a treat for myself when the urge to read some loooong fiction returns...JFK

Dune is excellent. However, there are some cop-outs in the sequels. The Lynch movie is visually beautiful, but sorely lacking in content and coherence. The miniseries is very good, IMHO. It is not perfect, but it gets a great deal of the actual story on film. Back when we Dune fans were first hearing about the miniseries, there were people who wanted the original cast of the movie to be cast in the miniseries. They wanted actors in their 40s to be cast as teens! After the cast of the mini was revealed, they criticized the fact that a 24 year old actor looked too old to portray a teen. It was pathetic.

Watch the 1950s movie Kiss Me Deadly (a gritty Mickey Spillane "Mike Hammer" movie) and you'll at least pick up on some of the framing of Lost Highway.

Yeah David has been off in his own world for awhile now. And he doesn't seem particularly concerned in letting his audience in on his secrets.
