I love the praise the Dune book series gets on here and on Chapo pod, and dig everything Denis V has done.

Before watching Lynch's Dune, I was hyped up expecting trade wars and discussions of imperialism and resource based economies, but the film didn't really care about that. Then the end kinda implies his godliness and Jihad is a good thing?

Am I missing something? I wan to jump on the hype train!

    I watched Lynch's Dune on a whim with a friend while I was halfway through reading the book. Great book, shit movie. I'm hopeful that Villeneuve can capture what makes the book so unique, but it's a monumental task to turn an internal political thriller into a Hollywood spectacle so we'll see.

      I just watched the Lynch movie after reading the first dune book and though it was definitely a product of its time and didn't really capture the book, I still loved it as its own thing.
