Dune is a 1984 American epic space opera film written and directed by David Lynch and based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel Dune. It was filmed at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The soundtrack was composed by the rock band Toto, with a contribution from Brian Eno. Its large ensemble cast includes Kyle MacLachlan's film debut as young nobleman Paul Atreides, Patrick Stewart, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Virginia Madsen, José Ferrer, Sean Young, Sting, Linda Hunt, and Max von Sydow.

The setting is the distant future, chronicling the conflict between rival noble families as they battle for control of the extremely harsh desert planet Arrakis, also known as Dune. The planet is the only source of the drug melange (spice), which allows prescience and is vital to space travel, making it the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe. Paul Atreides is the scion and heir of a powerful noble family, whose inheritance of control over Arrakis brings them into conflict with its former overlords, House Harkonnen. Paul is also possibly the Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure expected by the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.

After the novel's initial success, attempts to adapt Dune as a film began in 1971. A lengthy process of development followed throughout the 1970s, during which Arthur P. Jacobs, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Ridley Scott unsuccessfully tried to bring their visions to the screen. In 1981, executive producer Dino De Laurentiis hired Lynch as director.

The film underperformed at the box office, grossing $30.9 million from a $40–42 million budget. At least four versions have been released worldwide. Lynch largely disowned the finished film and had his name removed or changed to pseudonyms. The film has developed a cult following,[4][5] but opinion varies between fans of the novel and fans of Lynch's films.[6]

Prepare for a wild excursion into the heart of Belizean jungles and the ruins of Laminai as we recount an adventure that's part comedy, part thriller, and all real-life in this episode of Sounds Awesome Patreon. ??

Join us as we navigate the twists and turns of a spontaneous journey with Fatty and his wife, Lisa, as they set out to explore ancient Mayan ruins. It's a tale of rum, unexpected detours, and a quest to uncover the mysteries of a civilization long past... but with a twist that's pure Sounds Awesome Patreon. ??️

From the sweltering heat of the tarmac to the eerie calls of the jungle, every moment is an unpredictable ride. Picture this: a couple, slightly buzzed and high on life (and a little something else), suddenly find themselves face to face with nature's rowdy teenagers - a band of juvenile howler monkeys making a ruckus that would make any horror movie proud. ??

And just when you think it's all fun and games, we pivot to a camping escapade with Desmond and Kelly, where a night under the stars turns into a heart-pounding dash for survival... or so they thought. What's lurking in the dark? A bear, a moose, or perhaps something a bit less... ferocious? ?️?

So, buckle up, dear Patreons, for laughter, suspense, and the kind of stories you can only get here on Sounds Awesome Patreon. It's an episode that reminds us that sometimes, the greatest adventures come with a side of the unexpected - and a good dose of humility. ?️?
