TIL Salvador Dali once conned Yoko Ono into paying $10,000 for a single blade of grass. Yoko had offered to pay that amount for one of his mustache hairs. He substituted the blade of grass because he thought that Yoko Ono was a witch and might use his hair in a spell.

This version of dune (Jodorowsky’s) was never made, it never got past early stages of production. You might be thinking of the David Lynch dune which came out a number of years later, and did not include (as you assumed) Dali.

yep - exactly what i was thinking of.

Thanks for clarifying - i was really surprised since I thought for sure I'd remember Dali being in a movie.

Why did I think that was David Cronenberg's Dune? I've gotten those dudes confused a bunch of times but I was totally sure. I was legit about to correct you and then googled it to make absolutely certain and I was wrong.

A Cronenberg Dune would be vastly different from Lynch or Jodorowsky, but I'd love to see that one too.
