Re: Jodorowsky's Dune
Jodorowsky's Dune is fantastico!!!
The 85 year old director of cult hit El Topo is on fire as he describes his Dune. What a pitch! In fact, it could be argued that he has already made the movie in the form of the enormous storyboard book he created with Mœbius (of Heavy Metal fame). Those interviewed in this movie who saw Jodorowsky use it to pitch the film in the 70's say that they felt that they had already seen it - - and in a way, the same can be said for viewer's of Jodorowsky's Dune.
Sadly his original mad vision starring David Carradine, Mick Jagger, Dali, and Orson Welles, featuring a Pink Floyd soundtrack, set and character design by H. R. Giger and Mœbius, and special effects by Dan O'Bannon will never be seen. However, hope remains in that Jodorowsky challenges animators to take the 3000 panels of storyboards and complete his film in the future.
I hope I live to see it.

Re: Jodorowsky's Dune
It's fine. I'm not in love with it like everyone else seems to be - the documentary is pretty straightforward outside of Jodrowsky and the animated storyboards - but Jodorowsky's overwhelming enthusiasm forty years later at the age of 86 ultimately won me over. I'm not sure if I ever want to see one of his films (if I were to try, I might start with his most recent one, "The Dance of Reality"), and the film in question, though a beautiful piece of art in book form, seems like it would've been pure incomprehensible shit if it ever became a finished product, but his love of film is just addicting, even if the man himself seems a little...creepy (how he treated his son).
