One could even suggest the Terminator films as a prequal. Not in the canonical sense but the whole point is a total rejection of AI and a deep suspicion of computer processing and automation in general. Except on IX of course

That was missing from the Guild Navigator scene where the Emperor is trying to do small talk and he nervously asks about IX in the same way you'd blurt out "what about this weather, eh?" to a paranoid schizophrenic as he sharpens his machete...

Actually Herbert did a story about it and his son finished off the story arc returning to the theme after he died based on notes he wrote.

Edit: On checking THe butlerian jihad was written by his son as well.

I just watched this scene break-down by the director, it's pretty amazing to see how much thought went into all the little details about the scene even down to how the needle itself was held and designed:

Dune wasn't as good as The Phantom Menace
it needed more Jar Jar type characters

I watched it the other night. I loved it. I do remember the book years ago and I wasnt a fan of the David Lynch version.

It seemed to dumb the book down a whole lot, On the plus side it cut out a lot of the waffling (if only they done that to the LOTR series, both of them) And made it a lot more simple to follow. It seemed to pander to the generation we are in now where the attention span is oh look theres an explosion instead of the story.

But as they said at the end, the story is just beginning. Lets see how well they get on with the fremen side of things next.

Teflon-Mike:I think I agree with just about all Pinky has said.

In fairness, there is a whole section of waffling from a future narrator at the beginning of every chapter of the book.

I made a mistake. I should've waited for the concluding part to be released, and then binged it. Now I've got to wait aaaaaages

If you know the story, the lynch one is epic. Not so much if you don't.
