Dune - A mystery science theatre movie waiting to happen

Sigh. So I watched the movie Dune Monday night with my brother. Made in 1984, I heard only heard about the movie because of one of my favorite comedians, Dane Cook (I hate it when the movie Dune is in my drink). I figured it's gotta be entertaining. Well it was entertaining, entertaining to make fun of! Now yes I realize it's 24 years old but Star Wars (Ep IV-VI, we won't speak of the other Star Wars episodes here) is older and a much better movie. Now the special effects were great, especially for the 80's, and the story was okay, but it has mystery science theater written all over it. My brother and I made our own mystery science theater comments through the whole movie, which was the only way to make it bearable. Even Patrick Stewart wasn't able to save this movie. I think I'll go watch The Last Starfighter about 5 times to try and get this movie out of my head now.
