Ditto for me. I enjoy it for these reasons. I love it's lush pustulence. That it is a failed conventional space opera and Not The Book is not a worry for me.

I still have the glossary of terms they handed out when I went to see it in the theater back in the day (I think - must go digging in archives).

He really did do just about everything in the book, but he ended up having to do it by shorthand (against his will, I believe).

To be clear, I have never read Dune. I think it is a bad film completely on its own merits.

It's a pretty bad book on its own merits too. And they only get worse.

I loved the books, but you're right they were pretty bad.

Dune had Sting in metal underwear.

That was good enough for my $5. (Or whatever it was when I was 13.)

(Hey, I was *13.* Sting in metal underwear was AWESOME.)

Sting was in some horrific movies in the early 80s.

I saw them all.

Ooh, Brimstone and Treacle, so f***ed up.

I think his best role was as the little seen dad in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, and possibly his little seen role in Stormy Monday. Basically as an asshole thug.

I'll forever be grateful that David Bowie was the Goblin King and not Sting.

Sting was in some horrific movies in the early 80s.

I saw them all.

I can't even remember how many times my girlfriends and I watched The Bride, or how many times we replayed the scene where he ALMOST PETS HER HAIR OMG BUT THEN DOESN'T!!!

Hey, I liked Dune!

Why yes, I just had "KMH" put after my name on my business cards, denoting Kwisatz Motherfuckin' Hadderach.

weren't they robots or clones or something that required tech to create?

Disney animatronics. Horrific enough.
