Wtf was Jodorowsky's problem? Did he even READ the book? Or understand it's subtleties?

>>11970970
I've not read much of Brian's work except for the preludes which were pretty okay, they're written in almost a completely different style from Frank's Dune

>Wtf was Jodorowsky's problem?
It would have been an interesting movie for sure, but an even worse adaptation than Lynch's (which I thought was fun in it's own way)
iirc there's a quote where Jodorowsky mentioned wanting to "rape Dune with his love" or something along those lines.

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 22 17:14:24 2018 No.11973428 >>11972295 Although I don't think dune would every be a good move id like to see a new game of it. And yeah Jodo was pretty weird I don't think he every invisioned a dune movie tho. It would have been more akin to an adult star wars.
