To be clear, I have never read Dune. I think it is a bad film completely on its own merits.
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's a pretty bad book on its own merits too. And they only get worse.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
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.

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!!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Disney animatronics. Horrific enough.
