      Sure! That version from 1984 now also occupies a comfortable spot with a 6.3/10 rating according to IMDB, while the 2021 movie is longer in runtime and only tackles half of the book, while enjoying a 8.0/10 rating…

      So sure, you could have condensed the whole book into a single movie with the same runtime… But it does come at a cost when the books have so much world building to do.

      I don’t think Lynch would agree considering his attitude about that movie since release.
