Does anyone know when Roger Zelazny is supposed to release his new
book(s) in the Amber series? I am impatiently waiting and waiting.
Secondly, I saw the 1985 Dune calendar. It had stills from the movie.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG. Paul is waiting on the sand just before riding
his first Maker and is wearing *nothing* above the shoulders. No cape,
no stillsuit, no nothing. Now I realize that you can't pay an actor
so much $$$ and cover his face, but lets be reasonable. Also, the previews
I saw in the theatre had the Baron flying around on his suspensors.
Last I checked, they only supported his weight, they could not lift
nor guide him. ARRRRRRRRGGRGRGRGGRGGG.

While we may not agree with the way Dune is presented in the movies, one thing to remember is that Herbert was deeply involved with the project, and is very happy with the result. -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!milo!eric

[Out vile jelly!]
But who really cares what that dumb slob Herbert thinks anyway? After reading
an interview with him in Omni (don't flame me for reading Omni - I learned
my lesson after subscribing to that rag!) I could not beleive how pompous
and conceited he was. Most of his other books (Dosadi Experiment, Hellstrom's
Hive and stuff like that) are pure babble. By some strange freak of nature
though, (something like putting an infinite number of monkeys in front of as
many typewriters) he came up with a masterpiece like Dune.
After all his other Dune books I feel that he has totally lost track of the
original eloquence of the story. And therefore if he thinks the movie is
good, it's probably a bad omen for us all!
