Sand is sand.

The SyFy miniseries was pretty faithful to the source material, and they covered the first three books.  That nothing was filmed on location (entirely CGI) was interesting in its own right, even if the CGI was Babylon Five level stuff.  Sarandon really chewed the scenery as Princess Wencesia Corrino. My only quibble was they were asking James McAvoy to play what was, in the book, a nine year old boy.

Frank Herbert's Dune on SciFi is the stick by which I judge all other Dune incarnations. Ian McNiece as Harkonnen spewing couplets is peak nerd for me. Loved the costume design which more than made up for the cheap looking CGI. The longer format allowed proper character development.

Never heard of that one. Must send a hunter-seeker.

Oops, I have that on disk. Andy Warhol's "Dune".

The movie is obviously retarded and unwatchable, but I've set it up on double speed and it was goofy.

What seems clear as I watched the movie is that it was written to be about a wealthy Manhattan gay couple who adopts two kids who turn their posh life upside down. But somewhere on the way, the script was changed (maybe Travolta didn't want to play a gay guy because of his homophobic religion, or maybe when Disney bought the script they didn't want to make a movie about gays) so that they are just very good, lifelong friends who get stuck with two kids from Williams' ex-girlfriend whom he didn't even know that he impregnated - and thus the idiotic premise.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
