Due out this month on the 31st, are ya gonna get it?
Is your name a killing word, or do you hold with the recent Sci-Fi version?

i'm partial to the scifi channel version. i really did like the lynch version though. it was an experience! i love kyle maclachlan. being in twin peaks cemented my devotion.
i liked the scifi channel version because it was closer to the books, and frank herbert is one of my favorite authors. i haven't seen the lynch dune in years, however. i think i'll netflix it.

I own both the original Lynch release and the SciFi channel release on DVD. I found both didn't live up to my hopes as compared to the novel but then few movies do whenever a novel is as rich and imaginative as Dune is. I still liked both as each had their own strong points and good effects but I kinda leaned more to the SciFi version than Lynch's. I recently saw Lynch's unedited version (4hrs) that I assume is the one soon to be released on DVD and I didn't find that much extra that would make me want to spend the money. However if you're a big fan then by all means, I know what that's like, I own all 8 seasons of Stargate SG-1. Enjoy the movie!

I actually prefer his theatrical version, but the extra scenes are interesting to view within the framework of the movie once in a while (or, at least once), and in any case, an anamorphic version is what I've REALLY been waiting for...

Been waiting for this movie... yes, I'm gonna get it. And get one for my daugher as a late b-day gift,too. (Already got her "Serenity")

I also really liked "Children of Dune" from the SciFi channel.
The SciFi version of "Dune" was good too. I liked the actors that played Paul and Leto.

"Dune" the book was my first life changing book.
That sounds silly, but I hope ya'll know what I mean. I've read them all and the movies can't hold a candle to them, but they will do.
