6. I had this link on my clipboard ready to paste it here

and you already done did it. I read the first Dune book almost 40 years ago and have loved it ever since. I ain't even mad at the previous different movie attempts. This trailer looks great so I may have to mask up and go see it in imax. If I go to a theater that sells beer that should be OK - alcohol kills covid right?

8. It takes some courage to remake a classic like Dune.

I'm excited.

9. I read the book in high school and I didn't get it.

I had friends who loved it, along with Lord of the Rings.

When I read Dune many years later, suspecting I'd missed something, I still didn't get it.

The universe of Dune would be a much better place without humans.

Is that the point of the story?

Thankfully nobody can travel "faster than light" in our universe.

Which doesn't explain my love of Star Trek; the old shows and movies, not the "rebooted" modern dystopia.

"Gritty," dystopian science fiction and fantasy is just too damned easy. It doesn't serve as any kind of "warning." We've been very well warned.

I thought twice about being contrarian in a thread with people who are gleefully looking forward to this movie, just as I am looking forward to Wonder Woman 1984 (as if the movie theaters will ever be open again) but maybe someone will, at last, tell me what Dune is about.
