Sam Peckinpah and David Lynch, two of the most recognized
directors of their day, were each in their mid-30's when they
embarked on their third feature film: an epic studio movie to be
shot in Mexico (headquartered at Estudio Churubusco). In both
cases, the resulting film was a commercial disappointment and a
critical disaster. What went wrong? Who's fault was it? Do these
maligned movies deserve reappraisal?In tribute to the legendary Sam
Peckinpah's 100th birthday and the recent passing of the great
David Lynch, the Pink Smoke has recruited artist David Lambert and
filmmaker Martin Kessler to revisit these two films. Lambert takes
us through the history of Peckinpah's 1965 debacle Major Dundee,
including how star Charlton Heston almost murdered his hellfire
director, while Kessler walks us through the production of 1984's
infamously derided adaptation of Dune.  Exclusive "Major
Dune-dee" art by David Lambert. Hey! Look! It's our Patreon:
