I have held off seeing the new Dune Movies until I could watch them both.

I am ready now. I shall begin.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Plus thoughts about the movies.

So the very first actor whose face you can see is...

Babs Olusanmokun!?!!?!!?!?

I mean Zendaya follows shortly after but that first man with the sniper rifle is Babs Olusanmokun!

<quick look at imbd>

Ah, I get it now. This could be interesting.

Part One was pretty good.

Part two is taking some serious detours though.

Seriously, Stilgar said "Trap Door Spiders"?

they gave Feyd-Rautha the Gom Jabbar test?

WTF!!?!?!!?!!?

Really, they went to the atomics???

I mean, they're using the basic outline, but whoo boy are they taking detours.

I do like how Jamis keeps showing up though.

So the little sister of Paul Atredies doesn't kill the Baron? Has she even been born yet in this version?

And what about Beast Raban? His character is nothing in this version.

Annnnnnnnd Chani just walks out on him.

Little sister isn't born yet.

If you know Dune well, you'll probably like part one. Part two is a decent space opera, but Dune it most certainly is NOT.
