As for getting it, this is basically all there is to it. Frank Herbert saw the way people practically worshipped JFK. He didnt trust charismatic leaders and felt that following them could only lead to disaster. So thats basically what Dune as a story is about, but that mostly comes in after the first book. Imagine what he would have thought about the rise of the cult of Donnie. lol But yeah, really this is just what happens when you give a property to someone to treats it with respect. Just like with Nolan and the Batman movies, you end up with extremely high quality movies that touch your nerd bone. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. <cite>Heineken14 posted [p:979162946] in Does anybo...
