Wow, looks like ol'Big Ears finally took a hint and did what the consumer REALLY wanted, and not what it's corporate goon squad of canabalistic necrophiles would do, which is force whatever The Big Cheese wants down the throats of little children.
As a matter of fact, the original movie was intended to be 2 hours longer than it ended up. When Lynch ran out of money and the studio got their hands on the project, they chopped it to ribbons and the result was an abridged and less cohesive theatrical release. The Fox network acually broadcast a "Directors Cut" version of Dune that contained an additional hour of footage. This version was way better than the theatrical version and I was disappointed that it was not the version released on DVD.
