I've never forgiven David Lynch for the abomination that was Dune. cussing: cussing:

Post by: Grumpmeister on July 09, 2008, 04:11:21 PM: Its low budget but the version of Dune that the Sci-Fi channel commissioned is pretty good and far more faithful to the novel.

Something I've always wanted to know about the David Lynch version, where in the hell did wierding modules come from? rubschin:

Are we talking about the same Howard Phillips Lovecraft here Nick. Actually it would make sense, I can see a lot of his stories being influenced by being around Captain Calamity. point:

Post by: Nick on July 10, 2008, 11:38:42 AM: It was something that happened in a job interview in Mexico years ago.

The interviewer was keen on Lovecraft, but pronounced it to rhyme with Hovercraft.

I was baffled. There is no word in Spanish for hovercraft, so I spent part of the interview cruising around his office semi-stooped making a sort of raspberry noise in an imitation of an SRN-5. He was also baffled

I got the job anyway eeek:

It was never mentioned again!
