Authorized or not, their "work" does a greater disservice to the "real" Dune than the crappiest possible movie adaptation.Jack Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347116217773724467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-78747146609342082822009-08-20T16:15:16.505-03:002009-08-20T16:15:16.505-03:00Ha! i thought the "other thing" YOU were...Ha! i thought the "other thing" YOU were referring to was the more internet fitting GooglePorncardboardjudashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304767289920454896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-65817023232204476802009-08-20T07:31:23.743-03:002009-08-20T07:31:23.743-03:00I want to see GoogleTrantor.I want to see GoogleTrantor.Doc_Lokihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235425789990008074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-29738113775569417212009-08-19T13:00:45.369-03:002009-08-19T13:00:45.369-03:00I'm still waiting for a Dragonriders movie.
