Thread: Dune

Lead singer of the Police and a fellow Geordie.

No-one else see the TV version? Far more in the spirit of the books although they still left a lot of the more gory bits out. Liked the books but found they got a bit predictable - got very sick of Duncan Idaho. The TV version also went further on into the story with Children of Dune.

There are some prequels too. I liked Jurgen Prachnov who played Leo in the original film. He was the Captain in Das Boot.

Ok, kinda feeling like I got caught with my fly open. Didnt expect sting would be in dune.

Fair enough, Sparta. Think it was the beginning and end of his acting career. Anyone able to prove me wrong?

Sting also has made appearances on the stage and television, including guest spots on The Simpsons (episode "Radio Bart"), Saturday Night Live and Ally McBeal. He also provided the voice of Zarm on the 1990s television show Captain Planet and the Planeteers. In 1989 he starred as Macheath (Mack the Knife) in the The Threepenny Opera, the classic 1928 German musical work by Bertholt Brecht and Kurt Weill in New York and Washington. He most recently appeared as a musical guest on the fictional comedy serial Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

Oh well, quite a bit then - haven't seen any of those myself though.

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

I seem to remember this one being half way decent. I don't know how much of it would translate to British humor though, a lot of what made it funny was the British version of english- if I'm even thinking of the same movie.
