“Dune” was maybe the most sleep-inducing flick I ever had to misfortune to stay awake through. The image of Sting riding the big worm still sticks in my mind.

If you think that one’s bad try “Finnegans Wake” Its complete gibberish. Joyce was drunk most of the time and almost blind. I still don’t know how “Finnegan’s Wake” ever got published.

Lynch also directed The Elephant Man.Ah...now it makes sense. I never understood the opening sequence of that film. John Merrick's affliction had nothing to do with elephants. Yet, the opening sequence depicted Merrick's mother being...is 'molested' the right word?...attacked by an elephant.
But you say David Lynch and it all makes sense now.

“Hundreds of copies of Ulysses were seized and burned as they landed in the UK and the US.”
Ugh. Book burners. >:(
