Been there, dune that!

Dune remade again? There still hasn't been a great version - Lynch's didn't feel or look quite right to me (but it wasn't the nadir of movies either, as some seem to rate it) and the two Sci-Fi channel mini-series just didn't have big enough budgets to look right - but were much closer to the books in feel.

Let's hope this version gets the budget and director and script to become the the definitive version.

Watchmen still sounds good

Dave Gibbons' report from the set (part two) continues to make me feel positive about this movie. It sounds like they have really tried to get the feel right. It doesn't seem to have skipped the Black Freighter story-in-a-story at all - I was sure that would be the first casualty of the transition to movies. Mind you, I am starting to wonder how long this movie is going to be if they do get everything in there - 4 hours? 6?
