Saw Concussion today for my birthday movie. A fine film. Good acting. The plot was a bit formulaic, but still enjoyable. It's somewhat of a sad, dark film. I was in tears several times while watching it.
 
i would love to see a movie that is different every time i see it

i would love to see a movie that would divide my life into before watching the movie & after watching the movie

i would love to see A Jodorwsky's Dune movie

i would love to see a movie that would make me doubt reality so much that i had trouble distinguishing between the world of the movie and my world

i would love to see a movie that is only shown once, then the film is burned/deleted

Could we call that a singularity ...

As would many of us. Alas, it will live forever in the realm of "films that could have been".

As films get more immersive and go beyond 3-D into things like virtual reality, I imagine it could happen eventually. It would take a very, very adept creative team to pull it off, though.

Would not surprise me if it has been done by some artiste somewhere but I have no evidence that it has, it just sounds like something somebody would try at some point.
 
Is virtual reality a mine set off on its own ... a great difficulty for those locked into fixations ...? Thus floating decimation point systems encountered in dark places like libraries ... di slexus ... such piles and stacks confuse the simple determination ...

I'm curious, why won't Dune ever be a film? Rights locked up or some decreee of the author?

A film came out not that long ago aboot that film that never was made; break out the popcorn n celebratory munchies & some spare time for this one

ps aboot Patrick Rothfuss -- I think he'd make a delightful Netflix movie ;3 He's got the gift of the gab, he can think on his feet, & he's so cuddlesome

I see that it is in reference to an incomplete attempt to film it by a specific director. As the director was born in 1929, i'm guessing he is past making it now.

The movie [=]< was made Pinga. I watched it a number of years ago on VHS [00].

The film history of Dune is incredibly complex.

The one @Inannawhimsey and I are talking about was a failed project by Alexander Jodorowsky about which the documentary cited by Inanna was made. It is now best known for the concept art by H. R. Giger and Chris Foss, who later did similar concept art for Alien.

The one that finally got made that @Pr. Jae is talking about was by David Lynch (who later went to direct some of my favorite 80s movies like Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and the TV series Twin Peaks and is still cranking out wonderfully weird stuff today, including a sequel series to Twin Peaks) and was an unholy mess (though rumour has it that his original 5 hour cut actually was pretty good, but it no longer exists). It looked fantastic but muddled the plot and characters rather badly, IMHO.

Then Sci-fi (before the name change to Syfy) got their hands on the property and did a couple mini-series last decade:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142032/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287839/?ref_=tt_rec_tt

I think those got mixed reviews, IIRC. I have not seen them, but the gist of the reviews was that they did a passable job and were certainly better than Lynch's beast of a movie.

Frank Herbert, the author, is long since gone and his son Brian controls the rights now (and has, to be frank, allowed some pretty half-assed stuff to be published under the Dune brand) so who knows what might yet come of it.
 
It has many cross connections and thus demands networking ... not for the stand alone isolationist!

Some see it as scaffolding ...
 
Anyone else here who likes to see movies about people handling the complexities of human life in this present time?

I'm off to see "Youth" tomorrow with Michael Caine.........

I can't help feeling that the more whiz bang technology a movie has, something else will suffer - usually the plot. :(

This is why I chose to see Concussion rather than Star * Wars.
