Imagine the biblical story of Paul, but he is islamic, and everyone is fighting over a planet made of drugs that let you see the future.

And also travel through space.

I tried so hard with that shit.

Dune is fucking endless and boring. There I said it. Now please stop remaking it.

Well #1 you're wrong, #2 the Villeneuve movies are frickin' great and very necessary, and #3 gonna get one more and it'll be great too.

Lick my muad'dib, I waited so long for a proper blockbuster adaptation. 😘

I liked the David Lynch movie. It's proper weird. Perfectly fitting for such a weird world.

It’s one of my favorite series of books.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But the story is difficult to tell on screen. Same issue with most books: you can't see into the character's mind as well on screen as in writing.

Just get an actor with a glass skull.

They tried that with Indiana Jones and people didn't like it very much.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

Dune. Where a summary of the story takes as long as the director's cut.
