Availability update:

The 8.5GB double layer DVD has been released on Rapidshare. Check at Info soon or just PM me.

PS. Because my upload speed is pitiful, I'm looking for a few volunteers to help me initially seed this DVD as a torrent otherwise its about 15GB initial seeding data for me which would take nearly a week. Please PM me if you'd like to help (you would need to be able to download it from Rapidshare first).

Spicediver - I'm really keen to see your new edit as Dune is a flawed favourite of mine. Unfortunately I cant seem to find it on any of the locations you've listed, I'm not a Demonoid member (and it seems to be offline sadly) and h33t isn't showing me anything. :-( Is there any chance of uploading it to IP Torrents as I can easily help seed it from there?

Rebue, posted in IFDB:

Lynch's film can never be the Dune I imagined from my reading, but this has to be the best cinematic version yet. The division into chapters, the choice quotes, the lack of rain at the end (um, belated spoiler alert), the addition of numerous deleted scenes—all these enrich the viewing experience.

The film still contains dialogue explaining the obvious, but that's a shortcoming I attribute to Lynch—ironic, given his usual and usually effective method of having all sorts of funkomatic stuff on screen without corresponding verbal exposition.

I also appreciate the "anamorphic" resizing of the video (I watched the mp4), which looks great on my TV. It looks sharper than the Alternative Edition v2. The version I watched was supposed to contain some a/v divergences, but I didn't notice any.

Paul's eyes didn't turn blue until well into his stay on Arrakis, but that can be corrected in the Ultimate Alternative Edition Full Circle Kwisatz Haderach Reducttape v4.

Seriously, I think Frank Herbert would have raised his cup (of spicy worm juice) to this version more than any other that has come before.

I want to re-watch my theatrical and extended versions before providing a detailed review, and I also want to watch the Alternative Edition V.2 to see SD's evolution of the material, but I just wanted to drop in a note and say just how amazing this edit is and that it now my go-to version of the film.
Spicediver's passion for the source material is plainly obvious and the results, for a fan of Dune, are spectacular. I suspect that had Lynch been given proper control over final cut, it might have looked something like this.

Congratulations Spice, the sleeper has finally awoken.

Thankyou to everyone who voted this Dune edit as Fanedit Of The Month for July.

I'm so very happy that it has rocked your collective worlds.

I watched the old version like two years ago, and I loved it. I’m going to do a little bit of end-of-the-year marathon of movie-watching, and I thought I should instead do it with just fan edits.

The only thing I might not like about this version is the deletion of the dwarf kicking scene; I mean, I enjoy even the small things, but oh well, the rest should be beyond perfect (with the improvements).

Getting it right now...!

Thanks a lot, and keep it up!

PD: By the way, what does the Extras package have?

Yes, unfortunately I was petitioned by the Anti-Dwarf Kicking Guild who threatened to bite my kneecaps off if I didn't remove the shot.

Lobby groups. Sheesh!

Just noticed the Spanish subtitle option! Now I can avoid watching it just myself.</foreveralone>

Thanks again!

I have a favour to ask!

Do any of you have my Dune DVD9 download from Rapidshare (not Usenet), intact in its original folder with no changes to the file datestamps, etc?

If so, would you please help me this week with a Bittorrent upload at h33t? Its a huge upload at around 9gb so I could do with some help because my upload pipe is tiny. (eh...)

Just PM me and I will set you up.

Thanks in advance,

Spicediver.

Big props to Neglify for helping me seed the Mother Of All Torrents, ie. the DVD9. :)

Available now at H33t and Torrentbox, along with the AVI and MP4 formats too.
