because it's gooooooooooooooooooood *NM* Jessie Send a noteboard - 04/10/2009 07:50:20 AM
In 1984 I saw the film "Dune", I'd never read the books beforehand.

It seemed to me that the film was a lot of chopped up shots with little to connect them.

I couldn't figure out how the different shots were related, I found it totally over my head and thus very schnooze-worthy.

Can anyone convince me I should read the books?
