How sad. Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive (the IMO under-appreciated pilot), and yes his Dune even though he didn't like it are some of my favourite movies of all time. RIP

We discovered a cut that was about three hours that people who hadn’t read the book seemed to understand. Had a different intro and flowed better.

I’ve seen three versions of this movie. The theatrical and the longest one both sucked for anyone not a Herbert fan. I thought the longest was the director’s cut but he never did one. Perhaps it was the TV movie cut. But I don’t know what the “good” one was called.

My best guess is that you're thinking of the Spicediver edit, a fan edit which runs about three hours, and is highly regarded.

Do you know when this was made? The version I am thinking of existed at least as early as 1995, possibly 1993. Someone else hosted us so that removes a lot of the clues I would normally use to figure out when exactly it happened.
