<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Though, not quite as accurate as the first movie was with the first book, but understandable with the differences between the two. Dune was a 6-hour series for one book, while Children of Dune was a 6-hour series for two books (2 hours for Dune Messiah and 4 hours for Children). Really, it was just some minor changes/details that irked me a little bit, but this was no major fuck up like Two Towers was. The main plotline was not changed.
Dune Messiah was a little rushed, but this was a small book, anyway, and quite frankly, not nearly as interesting as Children of Dune, which is my favorite Dune book so far. They made the 10-year-old kids into 15-year-old teenagers, probably so that it wouldn't completely weird-out the audience. (It -is- probably hard to find good child actors with such advanced and "adult" roles, but it would have been cool to see.) However, they showed their love for each other (as well as their eerie almost-telepathic connection) very well. The last hour with Leto was pretty damn cool, too, and I liked their use of the sign language that was in the book.
They are planning on showing the entire Dune series, all 12 hours (!), Sunday. (Probably right now.) So, if you want to watch it, it's probably on right now.</div>

Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.
