This copy of the NME came out on 5th January 1985. I was about to head off to Switzerland on my gap year experience. Meanwhile the NME emblazoned obscure Australian band The Triffids on the front cover and wodered whether 1985 would be their year.
Dune is reviewed inside. Richard Cook, a fine writer, slags off the book; 'no more profound on questions of life, death and the universe than any other pulp junket.' He comments on Kyle Maclachan's unfortunate resemblance to Terry Wogan. The film is entirely staffed by cameo roles and David Lynch has undersold the vast acting talent at his disposal and comments on the oedipal nature of the earthwirms that populate his Fremen desert.. He writes it off as 'a project littered with misjudgement.... a terrible, tumultuous folly.'
