I sure do.

In fact I have just made a pot of tea with a pinch of ginger as The Hound of the Baskervilles (http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=10&channelId=1959&programmeId=38141223&jspLocation=/jsp/prog_details.jsp) is just about to start on More4 (http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsServlet?event=2&channelId=1959&jspLocation=/jsp/channel_details.jsp&jspError=/jsp/error.jsp).

Dune is one of those films I have always missed and never seen for one reason or another so I am looking forward to seeing it too.

Its a very good film that I enjoy watching over .. but its a bit disjointed sometimes, and seems to take great leaps ( youll see what I mean) but then again, the books were fekin huge things, so I suppose they had to do some cutting.
Like I said, good film, but it aint no 'holy grail' or 'life of brian'

You should (or is that "should not") check out the "Alan Smithee" version that David Lynch had his name removed from. It's got a hillariously awful 20 minute segment complete with hammed up Hollywood voiceover and truly terrible painted backdrops tacked onto the beginning to explain more about the universe that Dune takes place in.

I absolutely LOVED the TV series.. way better than the movie I think. I got both Dune and Children of Dune on DVD cos it's so ace.

Eeewww .. that sounds shite !! Glad I missed that one, it might have swayed me from the version that I have seen/own, things like that at the beggining of a film can just so kill it.
