If y'all thought the Youtube troll-industrial complex got worked up over the Last Jedi, get ready for Dune Messiah. As a massive fan of subversive art and jimmy rustling, it's all going according to plan *tents fingers and chuckles evilly to himself.

Finally saw Dune 2…. Yeah it was alright I guess. Traded a lot of the substance for style. Lynch captured the feel of Dune better. This version was pretty literal and the psychedelia was too muted. Maybe it’s because I saw the 80s and 2000 version and read the book that I wasn’t particularly wowed. I don’t see how they match up Chani from this version to the Messiah version. But divorcing it from the book and seeing it as its own thing…. Yeah it was okay.
