Your posts always distract me. I think I shall go ahead and comment now to get it out of the way so I can do work. (This is not your fault, it is mine, for not being able to focus.)
Books: I read two and a half, I think. The first was awesome and wonderful and I read it my freshman year in college. I thought the second was kind of weird and by the third I was beyond irritated and put the series down. What sucks is I really wanted to like it: space opera with ruling dynasty families is one of my favorites (at least in concept).
As I did not watch the original Dune miniseries, I did not feel right in watching Children of Dune when it aired. Not that David Lynch's is the end-all-be-all of series that should never be remade (such as BBC's Pride and Prejudice) but... I just didn't feel a desire to watch it? Or something.
However, I will say that the Children of Dune soundtrack is bee-yu-ti-full. If your email on your profile page can take big attachments (I do not know what this googlemail is, just gmail) I'll send you the theme. There were some other awesome songs on the soundtrack and I listened to it often during work... until I lost the CD :(
*squint* who is that pretty boy in the last screencap? Why does he look familiar? I can't even look up the actor because I never watched it and don't know the character...
And why is James McAvoy entering my radar from every which way? GAH! I've not seen him in anything but I swear, his name constantly comes up.
As soon as I finish The Last King of Scotland I'll watch it, and see him in action.
