Hurt was good (where's he been since Body Heat?). But, it wasn't any better than the movie. MAJOR let down! What did you think?

RE: Dune movie. There is a place movie makers may not go. It's the place a reader enters when he reads a novel. The greater the novel the paler the movie adaptation looks by contrast. That's what the makers of the Dune movies are up against. Directors are incapable of dealing with the "altered state of mind" scenes, which were so important in Dune and Herbert handled so well. These movies were no exception. Directors all use weird light effects and sounds, the actors stand there slack jawed with a look on their faces that says "What in the hell is this director asking me to do?" At the end the viewer just goes "huh?". Hurt stunk up the first 2 hours. Totally wrong for Leto. The best characterization was Stilgar. Can't quite put my finger on why but it was just right.
