I watched Lynch's film on Channel 4 one afternoon once.
Well, I tried to. It was impenetrable and incoherent, so I gave up.
Then I borrowed the book from a schoolfriend, thinking that it would make sense if I read that first. It didn't. I found it to be even more impenetrable and incoherent than the film, with added fucking footnotes and appendices.
Years later, I watched the film to its conclusion. I was glad that I had, and I thought it was slightly less impenetrable, but still incoherent. I haven't attempted to read any of the books again, because life's too fucking short.

I think it's the longest sci-fi novel I own.
Only managed to wade through it once and never dared to revisit. And Herbert somehow managed SIX of the bastards.
