    very minor new movie spoiler but
    the Gom Jabbar sequence takes an incredible amount of influence from the Lynch film and it's actually kinda great for it

    So a question about the books - did they ever write a book set in the robot uprising that led the Empire to ban all computers? I think that would be rad but I only ever read the first Dune

    There was a set of books on the Butlerian Jihad. It was not well received.

    Those were written by his son, Brian. Don't read Brian's books, they aren't very good

    The one Brian I know is a pretty decent guy and made a point to sit and talk with me and catch up last time we met, even though he's my parents friend and not someone I'm super close too.

    So this is clear slander on Brians

    Ideas hate it when you anthropomorphize them

    This movie is good and I'm glad I got to watch it at home because I would have likely needed two bathroom breaks in a theater.

    Bring back intermissions.

    Lasers and shields are terrifying in this version.

    Also the Sadukar are future Urukhai.

    That's too bad. Pan-galactic robot uprising should be a slam dunk to make a cool book

    It's funny that people are saying Sardaukar are Uruk Hai when they're pretty much a set of bolt guns and power claws away from being Space Marines for me.

    Pretty sure the OG space marines being from prison planets was lifted from the Sardaukar, 40k, especially old school 40k, being the creators just making references to all their favorite SciFi things.

    I mean, the Imperium of Man is one big riff/rip on Dune's Imperium, so yah, that's kinda the point.

    I'm a Dune Encyclopedia liker so don't even get me started on this "Butlerian Jihad was a robot uprising" shit.

    it was a philosophical conflict waged by reactionary religious extremists out of the fear that technology was making humanity too soft but that just wasn't sexy enough for brian and kja

    I've tried reading Dune more than once in my life and never made it more than a few dozen pages. Just watched the new movie and I think I'm ready to give it another try!

    It's been at least a decade since I last read the first two books, never gotten further in the series than that though

    Dune is weird. Dune is probably too weird to make a good adaptation.

    The sex mind control still cracks me up.

    Books 1 and 4 are great. 2 and 3 have some moments but, mostly exist to get you to 4.

    5 and 6 may as well not exist.

    Imo, of course. This is all subjective as heck.

    I wish that in one of the vid docs, they mentioned why you cant shoot shields with Las guns. I know why but going only from movie it was seemed weird why they didnt use lasers all the time

    Some kind of quantum harmonic effect between the shield and the laser causes one or both to explode in a small nuclear blast
