Man you are bringing up a bunch of lines I forgot from the 5 or 8 readings of the book and the dozen viewings of the original movie (back in the ‘80’s /’90’s).

Jorgen Proknow(?) was Duke Leto embodied. Hurt sucked and ruined that version of the movie for me. Only the ORIGINAL Blade Runner had the same type initial and lasting impact on me. But I digress.

See I thought you would refer to the Hurt movie and I could have gone back to remembrances. Now you did it and I am going to have to watch both this weekend.

Thanks. Have a great weekend.

Children of Dune (DVDs) and Sandworms of Dune (last book) are great.

JSteff, you certainly got me thinking about the books and movies.
Great opportunity to check them out again. Thanks.


The Stolen Journals: "Most civilization is based on cowardice.
It’s so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice.
You water down the standards which would lead to bravery.
You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites.
You fence in the horizons.
You make a law for every movement.
You deny the existence of chaos.
You teach even the children to breathe slowly.
You tame."

The Amtal Rule: "To know a thing well, know it limits.
Only when pushed beyond its tolerances will true nature be seen."
