Dune
I've become a bit obsessed with the series. I'm on the second/fourth book currently. I liked the D. Lynch movie, but so far.. watching the TV series, I'm not impressed. After watching Children of Dune, I realize that it was the second and third book all mashed into one. I did think that series was pretty good. I hate the fact that the cast of the TV mini series of Dune and Children of Dune have different casts. Not all of them, but enough to make a difference. Thankfully, at least Paul, Chani and the Princess are the same. Stilgar, Lady Jessica, and Duncan are all different. Blech. It'd be like watching the Tolkien films and having different actors play the main characters. It sorta sucks. Oh well.
The books ROCK, the series... I've liked and the movie, well.. in my mind, it'll always be the original.

I haven't read the books and have only seen the 1984 movie with Sting in it ;-) I watched it *years* ago and to be honest, I think I've forgotten the crux of the story. I'm thinking that I should probably get around to reading the books at some point.
I remember seeing the original and not really understanding much of it, I just remembered bits and pieces of it. Mostly the blue eyes and Sting (of course!). ;)
Now that I've read the books, I gotta re-watch the movie.
All this, thanks to James McAvoy! I watched Children of Dune, then read the book..and realized I had to or I should actually read the series from the beginning.
