Recently, I revisited the old Twin Peaks television series, more for its X-filesy type plot.

I also watched the movie "Twin Peaks, Fire Walk with me."

Now, I have but one question.

Is Lynch completely mad or is the symbolism in both those endeavors way too cerebral?

I don't think that's an either/or question, as both cases can apply.
(Though what he did to Dune does argue for the former case, I'd have thought.)

What he did to Dune amounts to a complete rewrite of the damn book, IMO

Never watched it - did they remake it it - or remaking it....sherilyn fenn was tidy I seem to remember.

Dune never read the book(s) or watched the film....mind you is there not like 10 different versions of whats it mccalled - ah Blade Runner ( had to look that up as i am growing more forgetful and senile)

What do they call them on those super hero films - Easter eggs or something...i never see any i just sit there thinking this film is fuking shit And dont get me started on all the recent glut of those films they were all garbage, some were actually untreated effluent.....and all the Star Wars ones ffs - all abominations save A New Hope - Blue Harvest was good too :) Family Guy Presents Blue Harvest: 'Save The Couch' Clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao5wiaze1TQ

I tend to go easy on the metaphysical wrtings these days

The nonsense about magic weirding rayguns towards the end?
I'd say it's more a massive dumbing down of the book rather than a rewrite, myself. Jodorowsky's sadly unfilmed version would have involved a huge rewrite and expansion of the book if it had ever got made, whereas Lynch just chose to dump a load of stuff and play up some other bits. Sadly, he had most of the wrong bits in each list, so the film doesn't really work as a story very well. The best thing about it is some of the batshit design, and it's almost worth watching for some of that alone. Most of the actual changes that Lynch made are either cosmetic, or an attempt to avoid explaining why any of the social and political stuff in the story works the way it does.

I have no life, 3 cats and an Illness - my options are limited ;)

But surely you saw Steve Austin best big foot? may have been my all time favourite episode that a 2 part scorcher...bigfoot, aliens - whats not to like?

Bionic Bigfoot Fight Scene - Featuring Andre The Giant - Six Million Dollar Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SZMn_711s4

twin peaks - i have a vague recollection - some perceive that as a work of art.
dune book(s) - are seen by some as works of art

let me think lynch must have done something I liked let me look -

“ I am not at animal” I think John hurt was in that and he was jack the ripper you know…heh was the Elephant Man lynch who knew, not I – fine work …any more let me look….

Dune – shrugs

Blue Velvet –was that him too – nods.
