darkling1 from pointing out to me that no less than two series I desperately want to own are coming to DVD: Voltron and The Animaniacs. Damn, but I want those.

I was returning books to the library and I picked up a couple of paperbacks at random. I'll probably just give them back, gratis, when I'm done with two of them, but I did pick up Dune Messiah. I am aiming to have the most mis-matched collected of the Dune chronicles as I can. I have a hardcover with plastic library wrap for the sixth book which I picked up at the library at home; I thinkviridian has my paperback with the strange shadows on the cover of the original and I have a hardcover edition that was recently closed-out to make way for the 30th anniversary edition or some such. Now, I have the cheesy Dune Messiah paperback version I remember taking out from the library in middle school. Excellent.

Speaking of Dune, I finally unwrapped my copy of the David Lynch version last night and tried to watch it between increasingly desperate calls toumeyard and arcfox7 about taxes. Good God, the extended version has forty more minutes to it? No, thank you. I still love the movie, but Shai-hulud, that's a cheesy-ass movie. All is forgiven, though, because of Kyle McLachlan's floppy hair ::sigh::
Also, Virginia Madsen was Irulan? Get out! She looks really model-pretty skinny as that, but I think she's more luminously pretty a tad plumper. Alicia Witt was Alia. Wow. She was really young. And I guess the snippets of hair you see outside of Alia's burka confirms that she is actually a real red-head. And the scene of her glorying in the deaths of the Emperor's Sadaukar at the end remains the creepiest thing about the creepiest non-muppet character in the film (yes, she's creepier than the Baron; he's just gross).
