DId anyone see the Dune movie on Sci-Fi channel a few months back? Thought it was really beautifully done! Of course if I hadn't read the books I woulda been a bit confused, but the cinematography was great.

I saw it on video several years ago. It WAS beautifully done. I hadn't yet read the books, and it WAS rather confusing. I've got the series now, though.....all I need is the time to read them.

I loved the film bott the books are way better...they do go a *bit* strange though esp. God Emperor of Dune where the guy turns into a worm. Anyone who has not read them will be thinking *real wierd* !
It's interesting how Paul Atraides is the hero in the first and turns our to be not-so-much-the-hero in later books and Duncan, with a bit part at first, becomes the centre of everything.
I think it's about time I re-read them... -

Long live the fighters!
Read the books, saw the movie, played the PC game, and am now reading the histories of the major houses as intepreted by F. Herberts son (derived from F. H.'s copious notes). I'm with Simon, the books kinda got a little wierd towards the end and I need to reread them. -

Hi all! Did you all see the NEW movie though? Not that David Lynch garbage..But There's a new one. Has the same cinematographer that did The Last Emperor...William hurt plays for The Duke. It's a 3 part miniseries. I also read the later books, and didn't care for them...especially the last one in the series. He turns Alia into a real fruit loop
