 ost_uid0]Well, it's not nearly as bad as I had feared it would be, and is certainly an improvement on SFC's [iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0]. To be honest I haven't read the book for some time and my recolection is somewhat hazy, but overall I felt it was a fairly good representation. Â There [iost_uid0]were[/iost_uid0] still some plot 'redistributions' that take place (mostly in its last third), but nothing overly major.Don't worry - I still think SFC is evil. It's going to take a lot better than this to convince me otherwise.[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Someone told me a few days back that [iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0] is also a book. I didn't know that. :O I saw the movies, and I [i ost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0] is way better than [iost_uid0]Children of Dune[/iost_uid0].But that might just be me. The thing is, if I want to read a good book in English, I'll have to buy it or borrow it from someone, but the library probably won't have it.  [/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Yes, well. I saw it on tv a long time ago, and my brother downloaded [iost_uid0]Children of Dune[/iost_uid0] just recently. Besides that, I'd never heard of it.[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Which [iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0] did you see? The Lynch film (starring the likes of Patrick Stewart, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Max von Sydow, Kyle Maclachlan, and Jurgen Prochnow among others) or the Sci-Fi Channel mini-series (starring William Hurt and a bunch of people you've never heard of)?[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]It was the mini-series.Is William Hurt the one that plays Luke Skywalker? :S In which case, yes. Really, I don't know any of those acters. Except of course Patrick Stewart, but I'm certain he wasn't in it.[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]No, William Hurt was most definitely [iost_uid0]not[/iost_uid0] the actor who played Luke Skywalker. That was Mark Hamil.Keeping that sarcasm free (not Sa-ar Chasm, you nerks) was a lot harder than you might imagine. Anyway - get the book. Seriously. It's worth it even if you just read [i ost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0] rather than any of the others. I myself have all of them, includiung the prequels, but then I'm a bit of a [iost_uid0]Dune[/iost_uid0] nut to say the least.[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]If Brad Dourif dies quickly, it must mean he's Paul's father... I think.I can't see Patrick Stewart as Paul, so is he like... the bad guy?[/color ost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Actually, Dourif is one of the bad guys - he is excellently creepy as Piter de Vries. Prochnow is Paul's father Leto, and Stewart plays (again, rather well I think) Guerney Halleck. Kyle Maclachlan plays the part of Paul.[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Well, there are two movies I can remember that he didn't play a bad guy in. Well, he sorta was in one, but not psycopathic in any way. In [iost_uid0]Murder in the First[/iost_uid0] he's the brother of the main character and a lawyer. The other was some fairly lame comedy that I can't remember the name of where he played a really obtuse scientist. Not an evil one though.[/colorost_uid0]

ost_uid0]Most of his GOOD roles, anyway.Actually, his B5 role was a bit of a departure. He played a "good guy" who WAS a homicidal sociopath.  He was in Myst III, too. Playing a crazy guy who wanted to kill Atrus.[/color ost_uid0]
