    watched the new dune, was real good

    i like how they took their time and focused on setting the vibe rather than desperately trying to cram in every plot point, especially cos it looked and sounded reeeeaaaall pretty. glad it was split in two parts, though i didnt realise going in so halfway through i was panicking about how much shit they still had to cover. looking forward to the second one, hopefully thats when they finally introduce sting in space underpants

      wait, so the second half is being released as a separate movie?

        yep its coming out next year apparently

        pretty bold call since i reckon its a tough sell to people who havent read the book to sit through a movie that just kinda ends halfway through the story, but i think it was the right call cos its really too long a book to do in one go

      After half a century of Dune leaving its fingerprints across science fiction, it was fitting to see all the other franchises leave their fingerprints all over Dune.
