Oh, don't get me wrong. I LOVE Dune. (I'm trying to read the sequels now, though, and am having a hard time getting through them) And Sting is awesome in it- him & creepy Harkonnen are my favorite parts of the film. In fact, the extended "Alan Smithee" cut is On Demand right now and I think the bf & I have watched it about four or five times in the last few months. But I'm sure to Stewart & Andy, who just wanted to tour and make rock music, watching Sting prance around in a glorified diaper on film was not something they had a lot of respect for...
