David Lynch’s Dune Hats

Maybe I’m weird, but I’ve always liked David Lynchs stuff…his TV series (Twin Peaks) and his off beat movies.  Dune, however, I didn’t see; but when I cam across this article, I now know why I like David Lynch.  These hats are bizarre.  This is not to say that I like the hats, but it typifies the David Lynch mind.  

Anyhow here is the article and hat photos.

Here’s an exclusive look at a costume detail from David Lynch’s Dune that never made it into the film. Lynch originally planned to shoot outdoor scenes in the city — and the citizens needed some protection from the sun.

Robbers or Revelers?

This stuff really happens. In my career, we were visited by the local police departmeny one time , and the FBI on another.  The police questioned me about whether we rented a gorilla costume on or about a certain date.  We hadn’t, but someone murdered someone while wearing a gorilla costume.  They did catch up with the murderer.  I wonder if he’s allowed to wear the costume in prison?

The FBI paid us a visit because of a bank robbery by George Washington.  Well, it wasn’t George Washington because as you know, he passed away about two centuries ago; but rather a guy wearing a costume of that period.  In this case, as I recall, the costume belonged to us; but I never knew if the perpetrator was ever located.  All I know is the costume was never returned.

Thrift Stores Solve Many a Costuming Problem

Ah, the old reliable backup for a costume emergency, or a costume budget issue.  The thrift store can solve many problems, by taking a little of this and a little of that and making your own.  To be sure, there won’t be any items that will convert to a Superman or Catwoman costume, but for many things, a great imagination will allow you to go far.
