Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Don't know much about Dune, but I do plan on checking it out. That said, I'm not sure how anyone can touch Tolkien's world building. Story telling and character development, sure, but the guy developed his world with its own languages and maps for shits and giggles.
Have D-Box tickets for this afternoon, heard it is fantastic but has a cliff hanger at the end to setup 2nd movie
Wife and I r holding off watching it so we don’t gotta deal with the disappointment it will likely bring.
Was good leaves you waiting for the 2nd movie hope it gets made

Every character in his books are nearly completely asexual. Just don't find it realistic
Good movie, but it's very slow in the beginning. Lots of great scenery and the cast does a great job. Not everyone is going to like it I get that and it's understandable. Like others have said it ends with a cliff hanger and the second movie isn't due out until 2024 ish..
Appreciate the breakdown.
The other half watches Dune like once a month so all the minor changes will have her melting.

Villeneuve is also making a DUNE series about the Bene Geserit called The Sisterhood. I believe the book was wrote by one of the sons of Frank Herbert.

Great movie, if you have read the book. First half is huge on character building and world building.....important stuff if you really want to know what is what.... Acting was good and the special effects where excellent. I saw it at home and will now go to the movies to see the special effects on the big screen.
Unfortunate that the movie company is going to take so long to put out the second one if @PleasureMoose is correct.

Peter Jackson filmed all three LOTR and Hobbit films consecutively so the actors remained under contract and didn't age drastically. Studios wont do that anyone because actors jump ship at the first money grab that appears. DUNE Part 2 is announced for 2024 but I'm not getting my hopes up. This current DUNE was finished filming almost 2 years ago and has been in the editors hands ever since. If DV doesn't begin filming in the next 2 year it'll never happen.
The time frame to the seconded part is my really only issue with it all
This... Unfortunately... Is spot on.
I watched the 1st star wars, dune, star trek and never gave a fuck til I saw my pops tiddy mags. That was the game changer. I'll see it at some point. I will monitor the thread bc um weirdo1stAnyone watched the new Dune on HBO MAX?
pretty awesome. is Villeneuve currently the best director?
Whos universe is best? Herbert, Tolkien, Martin
If it is good that shit won't matter. I mean Friday Next Week got made. Some ninja make that shit in his moms yard. And we will watch it.
They need a non mormon to direct it and do the screenplay.
CGI was cool but not very well done.

I love Dune. Always have. Books and 1984 movie. I rewarched the original movie a few days ago and watched this one last night.
I will now be going to watch it again in iMax.
Outstanding. I need the second movie. Now.
For those who think the first half of the movie was slow, it was, yet wasn't. It was vital. No way would anybody who had not read the books,or at least seen the first movie, understand who was whom and what the hell was going on. This was never a star wars/star trek/flash Gordon/Scifi/blowing up shit in space story.
I loved it. Beautifully done.

Just finished Dune. It was very good.
Mistborn series was phenomenal. I’m about halfway through Words of Radiance. Sanderson is the man.
