Intro
Hi, I'm new at Jacurutu and I heard that this was the premier place to vent my anger at kja and express my love for the Frank Herbert saga. There is a lot of hot air going 'round on Dune these days( ), so I figured my name was particularly appropriate. Just saying hi and getting to know the group.
ps. sorry it took so long for my first post. College is a bitch.

Re: Intro
Thanks guys. I have to admit though... I have sinned! I admit it. I read Hunters, Sandworms and RTD. I was expecting something... I don't know what, in hindsight. I wanted to see how it ended and I wanted to read an inside look at the making of Dune and Dune Messiah. What I got... *silence*

Re: Intro
Sin? Absolved...you recognized the new books as the shit they are.
You read them and felt empty, and realized that you wanted more and rather than accept them as a quick read-fix, you came here.
Because Dune is more than that. Its not fast food for the masses. Fuck em. There is a place for mindless reads, and Dune represents as far away from that place as you can get.
There are six Dune books and Frank is their author.
Oh, and Welcome Welcome.

Seriously though, Are these "authors" really all we have left of Franks legacy? Tell me this is just a bad dream. I think I'll just pick up Dune again.

Not kidding.
That was pretty funny. You're not kidding? Join the circus? What the hell for? I thought he never left Caladan. Was it on Caladan?

The truth is worse than you could possibly imagine.
Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.
