I first saw Lynch's Dune in theaters and I first read the book when I was ten. I'd had no media production experience whatsoever when I experienced it. The movie was cringe-worthy when I saw it; not even being nine was prophylactic against "for he is the quizat haderach!" But the book is no better. The basic bones of Dune are the basic bones of Le Morte d'Arthur; they match Campbellian monomyth as well as anything. I've never heard of The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. That's okay. Most people have never heard of Dune. And not to twist the knife or anything, but those who have heard of it know the David Lynch version.
