You either like Dune, or you don’t.
I wouldn’t disparage anyone that didn’t.
But damn… The books are amazing. Once you read them, seeing the different takes on the story from the 80’s movie, to the miniseries, to the latest interpretation.
It’s amazing.
That series tried to be so true to the books, but just didn’t have the acting muscle behind it to really shine.
I do love it though.
It’s the first non-marvel move other than Oppenheimer that I’m truly geeked for.
Like, I’m a huge Ant-Man fan, (we do exist) but even for Quantumania, I was… Rightfully cautious…
But I don’t feel that way about Dune and… Christopher Nolan movies.
It’s a nice change of pace to not have the trepidation.
Sometimes I feel like that…
But then I watch an hour long video about a man trying to improve his refrigerator, and I decide it’s not worth worrying about.
Seeing the Sega-CD with a retail price of $49.99 hurt my soul.
I bought mine on release day and specifically remember selling my entire pewter figure collection and just barely having the $311.99 (after taxes) for my Sega-CD at “Best”… Not “Best Buy”… Just “Best”.
Still don’t regret it.
