<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Hey I just saw a movie called Dune with my Dad last night. And thought I recognised one of the characters, a crazy looking "doctor". Come to the credits, and it was Brad Dourif! Very strange without the Grima makeup, but same sort of character. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Ah yes! Mentat Piter DeVries, the 'advisor' of sorts to the outrageous villain Baron Vladimir Harkonnen! "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion...." I still quote a few of his lines from that movie, a rather odd, David Lynch take on the science fiction classic. I saw this in the theatre in 1984, and they handed out little booklets with a vocabulary so you would be able to follow the terms in the movie--it was THAT complicated. Luckily, and unluckily, I had read the book and instead of reading the booklets, my co-filmgoers asked me questions all through the film! <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Alright, is it just me, or has Ian Holm been in everything?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think he has, actually! He is just too much fun to watch though! I might add him to the "men who can't say no" list (Michael Caine is a notable member), but I've really enjoyed every role I can remember having seen him in!Cheers, Lyta
