I got Gyo the same holiday. I really enjoyed Uzumaki (or really anything by Junji Ito), though I don't know if manga counts as books.



~TAF, who always enjoys weird surreal horror

The movie's gonna be in two parts. This one's pretty much gonna be the first half.

I feel like this can only be answered in song....

I love Dune. I'm not sure there is enough for a series, unless you bring in stuff from other books. There just isn't that much that can happen on screen. That said, there is a lot of complexity, and it is going to be interesting to see how it is done. I think the saving grace is that the director is a fan of the book, and I think he has a better grasp of the depth of the book, more so than the previous movie and miniseries. Definitely more than Jodorowski's abortive attempt. I'm so glad that was never made. I need to go back and read it again.

I never read Dune or know anything about it , but I did just see that Modiphious Entertainment is coming out or has already come out with a Dune rpg.

They have have already done and still pumping out content for both Star Trek and Conan rpgs. Working on a Fallout rpg. They have done excellent work with their Fallout and Elder Scrolls miniatures games, which I own a lot of and play.

Sorry for the commercial �� I saw Dune mentioned here and had just seen it on Modiphious website.

That is pretty cool. Based on what I could see of the system, this could be a lot of fun. Makes me wish I had a rpg group. And the time to be in a rpg group...
