I love the praise the Dune book series gets on here and on Chapo pod, and dig everything Denis V has done.

Before watching Lynch's Dune, I was hyped up expecting trade wars and discussions of imperialism and resource based economies, but the film didn't really care about that. Then the end kinda implies his godliness and Jihad is a good thing?

Am I missing something? I wan to jump on the hype train!

    Are you talking about the book or the movie? Because Starship Troopers the book is very different from the movie. Based Paul Verhoeven turned it into a satire. To quote him "I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring … It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book."
