Not at all. Lynch got the general atmosphere right and spent good money on
costuming and set design. He picked some halfway decent actors... who then
proceeded to ham it up, especially the idiot playing the Baron Harkonnen. By
contrast, the miniseries spent about $1.98 on sets and costuming (they
actually played up the notion that using painted backdrops and stage lighting
was a good thing -- I couldn't fucking believe it), picked a bunch of
nobodies as actors, but walked away with, I think, the better product.

Also I realize now I accidentally conflated Lynch's movie with the miniseries
in another reply in this thread. :/

 jp> I admit I have a soft spot for the David Lynch movie. My brother used to

A giant geek? For how can this be? FOR HE IS THE KWISATZCH HADERACH!
