Okay now for the TRUE nerd-test:

Jedi Mind Trick vs. Bene Gesserit "Voice."

I go with the Bene Gesserit and Paul, of the House Atreides. Hail Muad'Dib!

Absolutely, no question.

Luke was just a pansy farm boy who started his training too late...

Anybody else got the SciFi channel movies on DVD?

The Emperor's daughter is pretty hot!


Here's a harder bit of trivia. Who is Paul's maternal grandfather?

Pretty good.

I prefer the original movie. I know it is way off the book, which I am a huge fan of, but you just can't beat Sting and Patrick Stewart!

I have the original too but I figured hardcover Frank Herbert fans would have the SciFi versions.

Any 80's movie with Sting is worth watching.

I dunno, guys... Don't forget that Luke has a lightsaber. In a fight, I give it to the guy with the best technology.

But, voice vs. mind trick I think goes to the Bene Gesserit Voice.

I am a nerd. I admit it.

Paul's maternal granfather is the Baron Harkonnen.

I might have to back you up on that one. After all, hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side...
