“Wooden performances” is the only way to describe the acting in Lynch’s. That movie is a confuding mess and painful to watch if you don’t know the story. A movie can’t simply assume you’ve read the book to understand it. People can only truly prefer Lynch to Villeneuve ironically. You can’t honestly think it’s better film.

I thought watching the new ones was like watching paint dry. At least Lynch's version had some personality.

Not all personalities are likeable.

I'm not sure why you're trying to argue this stuff. This is a thread about movies you can't be convinced are good. I'm not trying to convince you, I'm stating that I liked the David Lynch Dune considerably more than the new ones. Feel free to take that or leave it, art's not really objective, dude.
