I understand your disappointment. A while back Michael, John & I were having a movie night & were debating what to watch. The first movie is non horror & after I fall asleep during the first movie they move on to horror. Anyway, someone suggested Dune for the first movie. I had a vague memory of enjoying the movie & said sure. After re-watching Dune I surmised that the vague memory of enjoyment must have been seeing Sting with most of his clothes off.

Yeah, I like me some sci-fi, and I was pretty 'mehhh' about Dune. Too much hype might be part of it. To me the book reads a lot more like fantasy than sci-fi.
