 "just watch this two minute long trailer for Dune Part Two” they said.

“it won't lead to rewatching Part One on Netflix, followed by tens of hours of YouTube explainers and the Dune wiki and ordering all the books on Amazon," they said.

 What a nice desert planet. It would be a shame if it became covered in forests and grassland. https://image.nostr.build/68541780446cfe2658890df31ab5e91d58dcefb498aab0b31d53a09e061315a2.jpg

 My goat series, book 1 is really just setup for the whole series. The 4th book is a fan fic but really good too

 I read the trilogy. There were some interesting ideas, but it wasn't my favorite.

 The books are incredible.  At least the first 4, never read later ones

 What explainers are necessary? Just read the first book and watch the movie...

 And just like that, Allen destroyed an otherwise productive day for a hapless pleb... I was so secure in my enjoyment and understanding of the movie based on reading the books over a decade ago. Reality is harsh.
