any dune fans out there?ive just fiished the book dune :messiah.great book one of the best.what was everyone's opioin on the new dune,with william hurt?i thought it represented the books more than the first but it didnt have the element of mistery that the first dune had

I fell in love with dune the first time I saw it when I was a kid. I only watched a little bit of the new one and I didn't like it. I have never read the books even though I have always wanted to. I need to get up off my arse and stop reading the usual heavy dramatic drivel I read and get into some good ol scifi. my friend is lending me the sci fi book spares if anyone out there has heard of it. just started it really but it looks like it could be interesting.

I think it would be interesting for jeff mills to do a soundtrack to dune,
since the one he did for metropolis I thought was quite good.

HARDCORE VIBES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i´m joking.

i like dune very much too.

I don't know....have been reading all 6 dune books last year and must say, they started to bore me very soon. The most interesting one was the second, because Paul Muad'dib knew from the beginning his power had to end at the end. That made him a melancholic and almost tragic character.

has anyone seen the special edition of the movie? imdb says it has 190 min, but someone told me about a 7-hour version that is only screened in some museum in ny.

A 7 hour version?? Fantastic.............
This is absolulty my favoryte movie!
I like the and the actors for example Jürgen Prochnow and Max von Sydow. Sting is great too............

i have not seen the 7 hour version but there is a two hour version out there,and the 4 hour version of the first movie,awsome,so much uncut stuff,i havent found it to buy but there is a country video shop in the middle of nowere,that you can rent the 4 hour version.one good fact that most people dont know is that the sound wave stuf with chaaaaaaaaa,moabdebbbb.you know in the movie where he uses his voice to destroy shit!well its was not origanaly in the books,it hollywood made up.but its still cool.

ha ha.... Dune has to be one of the most totally fucked up the arse by hollywood of all time...

There are so many versions of that film, and its such a shame because it has just turned into a total merry go round between Lynch and the studios...

There's even version where Lynch refused to be credited so its Directed by Alan Smythee (the name hollywood uses for Directors and Producers who refuse to have their name on the film).

Its such a shame because you can tell from the sets and the grand cast that it could and would have been a trully epic production. Imagine War & Peace or American Civil War in space. Its one of my biggest dissappointments in science fiction, and you just know that its never going to get shown how it should - and they have the bloody film to make it...

Any way I'll stop whinging now, haven't seen this new version. I hope its even halfway decent I'll be happy...

As to the rest of Frank Herberts stuff, absolute rubbish. IMHO Herbert just proves the theory that everyone has at least one book in them - cos his was Dune, the rest is nonsense...

have you ever played dune? just try this old dos based game.
it's fantastic. eventuallly you should play dune 2.

this is funny. yesterday I saw an issue of maxim magazine (a mag in the us that centers around sex, sports, and gadgets for guys) and they listed the 50 worst movies ever made. they listed dune as being number 20. seems like some bull shit in my opinion.

[pille'ocheoni]

yeap that mag sucks,i like stuff better.
