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!

    I've only seen the 3-hour Spicediver edit but I really liked it (pirate bay has it). The first half felt like watching the book, the second half was noticeably rushed and would have been hard to follow if I hadn't read the book. Yeah it lacked a lot of the political stuff but I was still surprised how many of the major notes were covered.
