1. My dear Orrex!

I've seen Dune and survived...

I could do it again, if it meant my life would go on...

:shrug:

[rcrush]

2. I would much prefer KRULL.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

[Orrex]

[RandomThoughts]

6. are you joking?

I learned from both films.

Although I got more from the dune books then the movie.

[leeroysphitz]

7. Could you tell me a little of what you learned from Krull?

Here is some of what I picked up from that film.

1. Swords vs. lasers= FAIL.

2. skin tight striped pants is teh sexy.

3. Never trust anyone with solid black eyes.

4. Gooseberry pies are delicious.

5. Never visit you Ex if she happens to live in the middle of a giant spider's web.

8. Krull

There are things to be found in the river. :)

But more importantly, it follows a common story line. It is finding that story line, its consistency and its repetition in so much of culture, that can give an insight to the deeper streams in mankind. What they are depends on belief. Some think they are just the common thoughts of most people, the desire and hope for a few good people to make a difference against what could be seen as an impossible foe. Some are cascades of ideas, or resonance of theme finding order throughout the telling from many people, either way, I do believe in patterns in the static.

Note the commonly of plot in story after story, it is this consistency that is really important, because it, in its synergy, is a reflection of a common thought or feeling that spans culture and the years.

It is a window into the hearts, souls, and mind of man. Although on its own, it is but a drop in a stream, or a single tree in a forest. And unfortunately their are many similar things with different concepts that are not reflections of the best of men.

Personally I liked the fire lions from mount thunder better then the fire horses.
and the quicksand in princes bride, Starwars, Thunderdome, was better, but many movies warn of being stuck in muck.

With only a quick review of the film, I quickly find a couple themes.
"Allow me to see through your eyes."-- could any statement ever be more significant?
Or maybe how the smallest handful of the sands of time can stop the spiders.

And the search for a princess, try and tell me that is not a common thought through time.

(Many people believe the supernatural is alien in origin. I do not prescribe to that dogma, it tries to bring supernatural back to natural, but as a symbol for some force or entity, it works as a symbol of the supernatural in many stories.) Tripods, Day Earth Stood Still, many others.)

9. I don't have a single problem with either choice

so I picked Krull, even though I loved Lynch's Dune! :D

[Lucian]

10. Wait, how would watching one of those movies prevent my death?

I don't get it. Will the doctor shoot me in the head if I don't watch one of those movies? I'm lost.

:shrug:

[harmonicon]

11. I love Dune!!

I was thinking of watching it in a few hours.... mmm.... Dune.

[Rhythm]

12. Saw Dune when it first came out... i could sit through it again...

Especially with Sting in those rubber undies... *L*

[Fenris]

13. Fuck it, KRULL was awesome.

Good, old fashioned fantasy that revolved around a sharp object.

[kentauros]

15. lol! I like your answer

:D

And I agree. Here's another great fantasy revolving around a sharp object:

22. I'll second that!

[ashling]

14. Hope your insurance pays

for second opinions

[Starry Messenger]

16. I actually like Dune.

:D

I'm saved!

[orleans]

17. who comes up with these crazy polls? n/t

[Deep13]

18. Krull. I've seen Dune.

I don't think I could go through that again.

[nuxvomica]

19. I loved Dune

The book was better but the movie was only slightly disappointing. Imagine that, a movie based on Herbert's Dune that was only "slightly" disappointing. It's just that I found the ending a little bit too wet.

[sarge43]

20. Well, I've survived both.

Krull was what it was - bargain basement fantasy. Dune was doomed going in. No way in hell that story could be told in a feature film time limit. Lynch could have done the job with a LOTR multiple films or a TV series.

My "just shoot me now" film is Pearl Harbor - an insult in every way to everyone who was there 7 Dec 41.

21. Music by Toto and Brian Eno, Kyle McLachlan as Paul Atreides, a truly disturbing Baron Haarkonen...

Yeah, I'd have to say it's David Lynch's Dune hands down. I liked the videogame version of Krull much better than the movie.
