Comment Re:Can't we just have the directors cut (Score 2, Informative) 482
They released the "director's cut" on DVD last year. It is quite a bit longer, and in my eyes, improved. But there are still many horrible inaccuracies. Lynch took far too many creative liberties with it, and the lack of Giger's art/design made it less than it could have been.
I believe you're thinking of the "Extended Edition" Dune DVD. As far as I am aware there has not been Director's cut done by David Lynch. The Extended Edition is the version they showed on TV a long time ago with some extra scenes slapped together. Though they did fill in some gaps that were in the book.
