Ben ,'The Killer In Me'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
So far this month, luck is a lady who's got the hots for me.
I'm happy to hear that. I think you're bogarting the good luck from me.
Would it make you feel better if you knew he was baricaded in Fort Beagle plotting slaughter?
Yes. And no. Because I picture him unshaven, unbathed, going all unabomber saying, "no more happy! no more happy!"

I think you're bogarting the good luck from me.
But if my good luck results in a lottery win, you could get a house so then it's good luck for both of us.
ETA: When, exactly, did I turn into a glass half full person?

Yeah, well who doesn't. Tell her to get in line.
I have some huge fondness for DUNE, because it was David Lynch in over his head, and flailing (and failing) with it. He can do coherent, heart-touching/breaking movies (The Elephant Man and The Straight Story) with Lynchian touches that generally feature amazing acting, and he certainly can do the full-frontal Lynch weirdness (everything else but Dune), but DUNE was just...a mutant, distended baby that I wanted to protect and yet was still repulsed by (shades of Eraserhead, indeed). If only for the fact that it got Blue Velvet made on a promise (thank you, Dino), it was worth the trauma.

When you started bogarting the good luck I'd say.
Though honestly, I'm hard pressed to think of someone more deserving of it.
Love everything Dune without reservation. IJS
You are a patient woman, Tamara.
I thought the movie was fascinating, but I had no idea what was going on. I thought I would re-watch after reading the book, but it's never made it to the top of the list of things to do.
I read 3 of the books and decided I really didn't need to continue. Third cousin (once-removed) of Dune just doesn't have the same punch as the original.

Half the problem with the movie is that a lot of characters have about two scenes - their introductory scene, and their death or final scene. So you have all these semi-familiar (or in the case of Patrick Stewart, later very familiar) faces who are gone before you can figure out why they were there: Jurgen Prochnow, Max Von Sydow, Brad Dourif, Freddy Jones, Dean Stockwell, Virginia Madsen, etc.
