Dune Remake

Herbert had problematic views?

Was somewhat homophobic, yes (and for some f**ked up reason wired his kids to lie detectors regularly). Still, he made a sci fi classic that inspired millions and spawned so many new worlds and stories. But that doesn't make him a super special prophet or too ahead of his time. Nor does he say anything in his books that hasn't been said a million times before by others. He just did it better and made it more impactful which is important in itself.

"Somewhat homophobic" is a polite way of saying disowned his gay son for being gay.

I'm starting to think that everything that appealed to me about Dune is what David Lynch turned it into.  Stripped of the baroque aesthetic that gave it such a unique look in 1984, it's just so bland.

Maybe Villeneuve isn't my cup of tea.

I love Villeneuve as a director but his aesthetic is just so, so reserved.

Where's my half-naked twink fight to the death at the finale? Feyd's supposed to be dressed in nothing but his booby-trapped underwear.

Considering Jessica isn't even in the book, I'd imagine so.

Just watched Dune Part II at home. Still amazing. Pretty much the best film of the year.

Now, Dune: Messiah.. I've been going back and forth with that on how they're gonna pull it off because the whole is essentially a soap opera. Still excited, nonetheless.

I want my God Emperor tho.

In the book he discovers this even sooner, during the scene in the tent that came in the back half of the first movie when he's having visions brought on from general spice consumption on Arrakis. The films push it back as a much later reveal, stemming from the Water of Life.
