No, I kinda liked the Dune miniseries. Cherny was kind enough to give me the DVD set as a gift, which I cherish. But I kinda combine it in my head with the David Lynch version - - which compeltely sucked, but had fantastic production design.
Heheh, I saw Cherny reading Dune recently, and was reminded how that was a fantastic book ... but the sequels, imo, were lame. I never bothered reading any of the recent spate of heir-authored sequels and prequels. But the original novel is stupendous.
None of this has anything to do with Earthsea, except I'm beginning to look more forward to reading the book after movie-inspiration than I am to the movie itself.
How many Earthsea books are there anyway? Is there an original and several sequels?
