Courtesy of the folks at Sequential Pictures, this re-imagining of Dune is just so very wrong.
I’m the only one who actually liked the original Dune flick, aren’t I? sigh Also, via Fanboy.com, it’s 2001: A Space Odyssey in 5 Seconds:

Georges Méliès’s Le Voyage Danse La Lune (A Trip To The Moon) was released in Paris 105 years ago today — by any definition of the term, the first science fiction special effects summer spectacular. And now, through the magic of the internet, we bring it here to you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI0BmQaIIR4 Enjoy it before some bozo…
The Sergio Leone “Spaghetti Westerns” did not simply add a new chapter to the genre…they reinvented it. From his shockingly violent and stylized breakthrough, A Fistful Of Dollars, to the film Quentin Tarantino calls “the best-directed movie of all time,” The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, Leone’s vision elevated Westerns to an entirely new art form….

I loved Dune in the movie theater, but watching it on TV puts me to sleep. So does Blue Velvet. Kubrick, on the other hand, is a genius, even when he's not at his best.

DUNE is fantastic. Toto's best album. Lynch's best sets and costumes. This version had the perfect Feyd-Rautha.
