I found the ****trayal in the Lynch film to be too buffoonish for my taste
although the sadism ("a little bit of spittle on your head...ah, what a
luxury), I thought, was perfect.
I have not enjoyed some of the reworkings as done by Brian Herbert and
Kevin Anderson - especially Rabban. Yes, he's an evil SOB but Herbert and
Anderson are constantly shoving it down our throats that he's Mr. Super
Evil in gory detail. I find it excessive and hamhanded.
