Morel does not make me happy.  Transporter, War Inc, Unleashed?  And now.....Dune?  I'm very curious to see why he was chosen. 

As far as it goes I've never seen the Lynch version and I don't really plan to either.  The miniseries I felt betrayed the character of Paul so, so much that it became hard for me to watch.  The point is that he is incredibly intelligent and very strong but he's lived a completely sheltered life.  The showed that very early in the book and in the miniseries Paul was very....naive and was stupid in ways he wasn't supposed to be.  The scene very early in the book where they have a dinner bothered me very, very much.  I had a couple arguments with my friend, who's never read the book, over the miniseries.

BeoPuppy:
The Lynch version was okay. Maybe a little more than that but certainly not earth shattering. The sci-fi thing was a drag to get through. I'm sort of hoping for a verson of the book that actually has the same quality of the book because it is really excellent. the whole series is excellent in my view. Except the new ones of course. There is just no excuse for the amount of violence done to the legacy of Frank Herbert.

Wow this is going to blow.

It's Romanek ditching The Wolfman all over again.
