On the other hand, Dino has done the excellent "Ragtime" adaptation (if
ANYONE could truly have adapted it), and THE DEAD ZONE, which is one of the
most underated movies of last year  -- much better than the book.  So it
looks like a toss-up to me.

Oh, Frank Herbert says it's great, but then he also has contracts for the
options on the next score of Dune movies, and is in trouble for back taxes
in our ol' state of Washington (talk about the White Plague... the Worst
Plague is tax people :-) ).  Also, he keeps hinting that Lucas plagarized
from Dune in the STAR WARS movies.  Frank should be so lucky.

                                                "Hi. This is God."
                                                "Uh-Oh..."
