When the movie of ''Dune'' was premiered, the studio contacted [[WSFA]] asking for names to people -- both [[fans]] and [[pros]] -- to invite to the DC opening. There wasn't room for all of the people who felt that they had a claim to be invited, and there was vigorous resentment between some of the not-invited and the president of [[WSFA]], [[Alexis Gilliland]].
