First of all... don't dis Omega Man. It's one of the great dystopian films of all time, and it's part of the Charlton Heston cannon of cheese.
As for Dune, the 1984 version, it wasn't as bad as all that. It was relatively faithful to the source material up to the moment that Paul and his mom crash in the desert and meet the fremen (TFP's Fremen would know this if he'd ever read Dune-- sorry I couldn't resist the dig).
I am not saying it's perfect, just that it wasn't the worst adaptation ever. That accolade goes to any number of Stephen King novels adapted to film.
