If you change "spice" to "oil" and then try to figure out who is being represented by the different political factions, it makes it a bit more interesting.
I know. I've only heard positive things about the books and why they don't translate well to movies (and that much I get, so much internal thought processes that the only real solution would be excessive narration).
I literally just read Dune and suggest everyone else here too.
Highly recommend it. It is politically and conversationally heavy in the first 20% or so but it holds up so well.
And the movie is actually very very close to the book too (at least the new one).
Really enjoyed the Books. I thought the William Hurt movie several years ago was a good effort.
The one in 2000? Yeah that was good. The 1980s one was shit lol.
I don’t like the new movie.
Something special about watching the 1984 original movie that is clearly intended to be "in the face" of the cabal.
The political intrigue and internal monologs are the only good parts of the books.
The overall story is good, but only if you don't really scrutinize much of any of it.

No one should ever be afraid to field an opinion that goes against the wind,
