It's been awhile since I last posted a Hot Deal - this looked like one to me.

While at Target for another reason today, I picked up the Dune Special Edition 3 disk DVD Direcor's Cut at Target for $10.00. This is the SciFi version, not the horrid, made for theater, original version. I haven't had the chance to sit down and watch it yet, but it HAS to be better than the original.

Could you post the UPC?

darn - spent 15' looking and looking. couldn't even find a "spot" where it would be if they had it.......wasn't on the big shelf, nor any of the little "square" displays....

I'll second the request for the UPC - maybe I'll call up some other local Target's and see if they have it in stock......


===> Eh, NM...no one in the area seems to have it...shucks!

 

[pogomips]

WoW! I didn't expect this post to elicit such a response!

The UPC is:

0 12236-12529 7

Thanks for pointing out Children of Dune - I didn't know it had been made.

I found it at Target in Colorado for $7.50 + tax.

(295 minutes long?)

Most folks I know who read the book liked Lynch's version -> if you don't know the story, Lynch's version's a bit disjointed and hard to follow.

Bump in homage to a great series/story line.

Nice deal, do wish it were on the Lynch version. Actually I would love to get the "other" Lynch version which has painted backgrounds and some of the missing scenes. Mostly want it for the missing scenes which includes Paul's first fight.

As for which is better, if you discount the "guns" from the first movie it was more accurate in many ways. The rain at the end was not Lynch's idea either.

So Sting is not in this one?

i went to the main dvd area and couldnt find it.. A person looked it up on their computers and he told me he didnt have it... So as i was just walking around, found it on a small stand next to the registers. just a heads up.

 

[ShowdOWN]

omg, some of you guys think the sci fi series is good? i had to change the channel after enduring five minutes of bad acting and visual effects.

You called?

And for the record, Lynch's version > Scfi version.

I actually found Children Of Dune mini series to be superior to the Dune mini series. Everyone was pretty much recast, with the exception of the main character.

what are you talking about? Alec Newman played Muad'Dib in both Dune and Chidren of Dune

Kyle Mac. played Paul in the Lynch version.

The original movie was great, the mini-series was just ok.

 

[akugami]

Original movie was so-so. I liked Dune but Children of Dune was superior. The only beef I had was some of the effects could have been better. I understand there are constraints as this is only a made for TV mini-series so things are forgivable. One of the worse things are the terrible costume designs. Just plain...I don't even know how to describe some of the wierd things they're wearing. The other major concern is a bit of cheese in the acting but for the most part I found the acting decent. Nothing Emmy winning but not too bad.

 

[Hav0k99]

I like Dune 2 for the PC

 

[SeTeS]

I liked both the movie and the series. The series seemed sortof, uh, colorful, for lack of a better term. I preferred the darker style of the movie.

I remember seeing the original at the theater when opened... it was destined to be panned.. how many movies hand out a 'glossary of terms' to the viewers. I loved it, but the typical moviegoer was probably saying "WTF?"

I would love to see them come out with the extended Lynch version myself. Although the Sci-Fi channel version is much more true to the novels, they just didn't do it for me. The casting in Lynch's version is much better--definitely one of my favorite sci-fi flicks and a cult classic. There are a TON of songs out there with samples/lines taken from the movie.

 

[BooGiMaN]

i have to agree the original had better casting, set and costume design, as well as a better mood for the story..

the freman suits in the series one looked weird i liked the original movie ones better....thats one of the major reasons i couldnt get into the series the weird colorful costumes in the series just looked ridiculous

i also liked the voice overs in the original movie

 

[tinker]

yea i have the extra long version with the anime type front dialogue, recorded on vhs its my favorite version.

anyone got a lead on that one on dvd, or what that specific version is refered to as?


lmk thanks

It'd have been interesting if Giger's designs were used. Some of the fetishistic slickness seemed to show in Lynch's take, but it wasn't very pronounced.
