You're eyes won't be that critical - they'll be bloodshot from the vomiting this piece of filth will produce. > I totally enjoyed the remake of Dune and Children of Dune though, so I > think they can do good stuff.

I liked the Dune mini-series, but not all that much - they took a significant license there as well. It's no secret how to do a successful mini-series based on a book: find a writer that loves the story AND TELL THAT STORY. Simple but seemingly impossible. (Did Peter Jackson teach these idiots nothing!) The best mini-series are almost always orginal works. "Battlestar Galactica" was surprisingly good (for all of its annoying stupidities). The recent FarScape miniseries really can't be counted because it was really a condensation of an entire season because the jackasses cancelled it (but it was great).
