I didn't like that book... the movie was awful


The David Lynch version was fairly good, the second version by John
Harrison sucked pond scum and there is soon to be a third version by
David Berg because Hollywood seems to have run out of original ideas
for movies.

"Dune" was a pseudo-intellectual's dream book. Thematically, it was a
freakin' mess, but because it was so bad, everybody thought it was
good. And of course it spawned a whole series of pre/post quels if
you will all written by his relatives trying to keep the franchise
alive.


I think that was my feeling at the time... it wandered about and I got tired
of the wandering/wondering.


Hebert is L. Ron Hubbard, only nobody spawned a religion off of
"Dune".


Don't bet on it.
