	Speaking of DUNE.  I wonder how many people liked the movie?
In my humble, naive opinion, to say that it didn't do the book justice
may be the understatement of the Millenium.  Let's just say that if 
Herbert was dead, we just might hear subterranean vibrations (like turning).

	In fact, when the movie started, everybody clapped REAL LOUD.  But
the giggling started 1 minute into the movie when Princess Irulan said all
those profound things.  The thing that really cracked everybody up was Paul
repeating over and over : "Dune, Desert planet...  Spice, sandworm".

	It was only at the end, when Paul Muad'ib captured the emperor, etc.
that we really realize how much the audience enjoyed the movie  (REALLY).
Paul said that his battle was fought in the name of Justice.  Then, Feyd
Rautha (Sting) said,"Justice" (say it with sarcasm).  Almost everyone clapped.
I almost did too.  It was the most disappointing night in my life.  (Maybe
my hopes were too high.)
