Yup, thought I'd take it out for a spin sometime soon.

Tonight we watched the first six episodes of Devil in Ohio. I think my sister is enjoying it more than I am. I feel like they are horror-baiting. They promise spooky things, which never materializes. At least not so far. We'll finish the series tomorrow.

Is this the one with the Deschanel sister?

We've also decided to watch the new version of Dune tomorrow whilst having dinner (cheese fondue). I've seen at least part of the original movie, but can't remember much besides that the desert scene(s) were very orange coloured.

I will say that the new movie of the first half of the novel Dune is really quite good and faithful, by and large, to Herbert's work. Far more so than Lynch's version and most others.
I'll be interested to see the rest. Of course, then again, I'd love to see the entire "real" series (through Chapterhouse) done...but I don't expect that. for one thing, bless his heart, Herbert was woefully inconsistent about the powers or abilities of the Kwisatz Haderach...which wreaks havoc particularly through the first 3 books. Oh, well.
