Haven't seen it, probably won't. I've heard enough to respect that he was taking a swing at high melodrama as overpriced soap operas, but I don't want to watch a satire any more than I'd want to watch the real thing. I find it fascinating that Japan adored his comically heightened view of small-town Americana, but King Of The Hill has a similar distinction, and I don't watch that either.

I liked Dune. Completely ridiculous, and an absolute tragedy we didn't get Jodorowsky's version, but he understood just how bizarre and uncomfortable the story got, and had a reasonable level of disrespect for his audience. I've had family express confusion over the Villienenneuuve version and unironically recommended the Lynch version as a low-intensity explainer with crazier character design.

That's not how I would describe it

And it's not really a satire at all
