I, too, love Dune.
Yes, but your superhuman ability to love bizarrely crappy movies of many stripes is more an indictment than an endorsement.

It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh, dude. If you're talking the Stallone/Hauer/Wiliams/Wagner movie Nighthawks...I just don't know you anymore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sting was in some horrific movies in the early 80s.
None of them were as bad as the Three Penny Opera production he was in in the late 80's.

Yeah, yeah. Really, Tango and Cash is better ammo. I mean, I don't OWN Nighthawks. I don't try to make other people WATCH Nighthawks. I'm just sickly fascinated by it, and by the fact that Stallone is actually attractive in the fucking thing. [link] (In a slim Kevin Smith way.)
Dune, however, I saw in the theatre when it came out. Frank Herbert was there. It was An Event (it was one of two official premiere showings). I am not able to be entirely rational about it, because I was 10, and it was a Big Deal to go see it.
Plus, my father watched it every few years. So I saw it often.

Oh my. This was one of the most significant first dates of my life. We were so excited and Sting's wee voice was totally lost on the stage under the other projecting singers. Sad.

I LOVE Nighthawks. But I freely admit that I will watch Rutger Hauer in ANYTHING.

I saw (500) Days of Summer today. I have not laughed that hard at a movie in a very long time.

It really was quite funny. We missed some lines, we were laughing so hard.
