Anybody else here fall asleep every time Dune comes on the TV?

Unpopular opinion I'm sure - but I don't seem to have much say in the matter

It is just unwatchable to me....and I'm a Sci-Fi fan.....

I loved the original Dune, in 1984.
Have not seen any other Dune. Is there a tv series or summat?

@bookerdana Yeah that's a real sleepfest!

@fun4us2b I liked the book and have heard great things about Dune 1..2021?
I didn't fall asleep but thought it long

I can fall asleep without Dune!..LOL 🤣😄

I think with kyle maclachlan....?

I fell asleep for that one too - and couldn't read the book while all my freinds were raving about it in the 80s....

🤷‍♂️ I dunno....

@fun4us2b The David Lynch version from 1984 — or the Alan Smithee version from 1984, as it was reedited without Lynch's input at one point and he disowned it.

@DunningKruger I think it was....

You read the book?

@SW-User I tried - same effect....couldn't get through it, and I read the LOTR and many other very long books and series - but can not get through Dune. I don't know what it is!

@fun4us2b just not for you then! It’s very different. Understandable to me how it’s not people’s thing

@SW-User I wonder why - I do like Sci Fi....hmmm 🤔

I can’t get through any of them.

1984 or 2021?

The new movies are good
I had to force myself to watch Dune decades after it came out

I knew it was going to bore me to death, and I was not wrong, which is why it was never a high priority
I Love the 1984 classic

@fun4us2b I could not get through the book either. That is why I bought the DVD. Brilliant movie.

@NativePortlander1970 That sounds like a plan!
@fun4us2b The first time I saw it stoned in my early 20's over 30 years ago I saw things I never saw before in it, despite seeing it at least 10 times before that.
