A new ‘Dune’ movie?

I’ve no idea if it’ll be any good but I seem to recall enjoying the previous book ‘Hunters of Dune’ so hopefully. Oddly enough then, after going and buying this book I see on Whitechapel that apparently there’s a new ‘Dune’ movie planned. While to be honest, I doubt anything will ever live up to the planned version by Alejandro Jodorowsky, the art for which would have been by Moebius, I’ll be quite interested to see how this version of the movie turns out…

Smoke on the Yangtze

A version of ‘Smoke on the water’ by Deep Purple by some Japanese (?) musicians which according to the comments should be ‘Smoke on the Biwa’ because of the ethnicity but… Thanks to Eugene for this.
