quote: That choice confirmed my beliefs that the Wachowski's are simple literary plagarizers. If you compare Neo to Paul Atreides, they're practically one and the same. Neo's bred with a purpose unknown to him... so's Paul. Neo's learns to use the Matrix to his advantage... Paul learns the "Weirding Way". Neo is blinded... Paul is blinded. Neo dies for the sake of humanity... Paul dies for the sake his people.
If I look closer, I'm sure I can find other "similarities" to other properties within this series.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a really, really, really fucking in-depth story synopsis of the original DUNE novel? Maybe even an on-line database?
I've never really watched the Lynch movie all the way through in one sitting (gasp, I know), and I don't remember the end. All I remember from the end is Kyle McLachlan wearing a Sebastian Bach-like spice-contraption up his noise, eyes blue, riding on the back of a giant sandworm.
I want to know more about this book. I'm thinking about reading it.
