Video Watchdog is GREAT! I have those very issues, and that is what I used as a guide for building the FanFiltration edit of DUNE.
Sean Murphy also did a similar article on the "Highlander 2" variations.

So, I got my copy of the new DVD release. First off, I am not very excited with the deleted scenes. The only parts I can see including in the FanFiltration 2.0 Edit are the ones from the end of the movie, the Shadout Shouts bit, and some of the death of Jamis. I would not change the intro to the film at all. Most of the out-takes are just not good production, sound, or acting wise. Based on this DVD's selection of out-takes, it seems to me that most of the cuts that had been made to the prolog and rest of DUNE were a very wise move. Also, I still think they are holding some good un-used footage back.

The new DVD extras are nice, and the DVD keep case is great! I think the keep case is the best part of the re-release, and I have a good feeling it had alot to do with the hold up of this release. There was rumor that the set at one point (due to some type of technical problem) was going to have to be a two disc set. Now I could see that leading to problems with that style of keep case.
Not to take away from this set, but it would have been nice if it had a small booklet of production art included. Kind of like the one included with the U.K. set.

If other people want to take on an edit of Dune, please go for it! At some point I do plan on making an anamorphic version of my edit (including some of the new out-take footage), but it's not at the top of my list.
