It should have been a no brainer for me since his film "The Holy Mountain" was based on Rene Daumal's "Mount Analogue" which is where my user name comes from.

Because of your mention of it here I checked it out, somehow knew nothing about any of this. Haven't seen the movie yet, just added it to my Youtube watchlist, may read the book someday, anyway thanks.

I watched practically the entire movie with my hands over my eyes, peeking through my fingers; saying to my friend next to me, "Well, the worst is probably over." It is a very intense movie, I can't imagine what he did to Dune.

After seeing that, I can't help but wonder if Frank Herbert incorporated some of Jodorowsky’s ideas into the subsequent books.
