The first book is a stone cold classic. But about halfway through the second one the story got super complex and I lost interest. I hate it when stories encompass thousands of years. The scope becomes too grand and each individual drama in the story seems meaningless when you jump ahead (or back) thousands of years.

Avatar in 3D was cool as shit but being super stoned highly recommended.

(I will only see this Dune after part two comes out.)
That's really interesting about the director's cut. At 2 and half hours, this Dune movie is part one, so the final length is probably similar. One more reason this should be a mini-series.

I'm with you on the overly epic scale. I know our puny human lives are insignificant, but I don't emotionally connect with literature which reminds me of this.
