Unless, of course, the sentence, "And Patrick Stewart, with Leto's pug stuffed into his jacket, charged ferociously into battle uttering a stirring cry, 'long live the Duke!'" is included.

It truly is jam-packed with awesomeness. The Blu-ray looks amazing.

The ending is maybe the second greatest thing ever committed to celluloid.

Dune is like Cabbys mom, heavily overrated yet somehow everyone just keeps going back for another round.

The book is better than the film by a wide margin.
Bait not taken.

Dune is an awesome book. David Lynch didnt even read the book. The production of of the old Dune movie was very troubled and the Lynch version even if the most innaccrate to the book is still the most entertaining.
