Ink to Film

The sand worms have been ridden, climactic duels have been fought, and the Bene Gesserit prophecy has taken shape. Ink to Film has finished reading Frank Herbert's Dune! In episode 203, Luke & James discuss how well the book lived up to their expectations, the value of appendices in novels, an all-knowing toddler, and finish up by looking ahead to the new adaptation, including what they are expecting and hoping for in the film.

Join them next week when they will discuss Denis Villeneuve’s version and cast their vote on which was the better version: the book or the movie.

Named one of the year’s best films by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Roger Ebert, Jesus’ Son by Alison Maclean tackles the surreal, disjointed narrative first created by author Denis Johnson. F**khead, played admirably by Billy Crudup, meets a woman named Michelle (played by Samantha Morton) and their romance is as kinetic and exciting as it is destructive. An impressive cast provides memorable performances, include standout moments by Jack Black, Denis Leary, Will Patton, Michael Shannon, Holly Hunter, and Dennis Hopper. Topics: The look & tone of the film, the overt symbolism, the pros & cons of using verbatim dialogue from the source material, Denis Johnson’s cameo, the meaning of a cartoon octopus, the over-the-top drug sequence, and the potential message about the author that movie may be trying to convey.

Music: "2 Legit" By Jay Man

Comics editor Jasmine Amiri joins the show to compare Terry Zwigoff’s adaptation to the original comic by Daniel Clowes. In episode 318 Luke, James, and Jasmine discuss the value of supposedly “empty” entertainment vs what’s deemed as “important," find out what studio meddling would have ruined the movie, celebrate Steve Buscemi’s selfless actions during the aftermath of 9/11, and debate the implications of the film’s final scene. They finish off by each casting their vote for which one is ultimately the better version: the graphic novel or the movie?

In part 1 (of 2), James and Luke cover chapters 1-10 of the novel, discussing the Sci-Fi’s legend’s legacy, what it means to be “real,” and whether “Andy” or “Replicant” is the better term.
