Most of 'em so far have been of the "Plan 9," or "Glen or Glenda" variety. A subject that was weird to begin with, and may never have worked in the sense that, if done differently, people would have said "Wow, what a great movie." There was never any hope for films like "Eraserhead" or "Naked Lunch."

David Lynch's "Dune," however, had potential. Well, maybe not Lynch's "Dune." Once it became known he was going to direct, it was a given that the "what the f...?!?" factor was going to be high.
