I first saw it in 2010 lol

Then again I've always loved cheesey old movies

[–] huf@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i think i first saw it on the scifi channel in 1998 or so. around the same time i saw dune (the funny one).

Is that fucking Patrick Stuart firing a gun while clutching a pug? I am so in.

We need to see it on the hextube sometime, it is a wild and amazing ride. The battle pug is just the tip of the iceberg. David Lynch also gave himself a small cameo role in one scene.

Fun fact, Lynch's bad experiences with executive meddling led to him turning down another potential directing project: Return of the Jedi. Lynch was Lucas' first choice for director, and Lynch said no after one meeting with Lucas.

love that clip where Lynch says he had a massive headache after Lucas talked to him about wookies

LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

It's a great film, gorgeous set design, and it doesn't shy away from letting the weird spacefuture stuff be weird. You can feel where it deserved to be a trilogy - or maybe just have a ten hour runtime.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

yeah, it's better than the new dune until around the middle, where it just falls apart completely, not just as a re-telling of dune but as a movie.

[–] Nacarbac@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

If you've ever played Xenogears, it's an amazingly similar trainwreck.

[–] huf@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

sting is also in it.

[–] Arahnya@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

its actually the best dune imo

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I've never seen it. Our reruns were jumanji and the back to the future series (feels like every other weeknd was one or the other). I've never seen logans run but only know of it mostly through boonta vista bits and the Jude Law Scarjo movie The Island which is a spiritual successor, I think?
