Nice clip. So I watched the latest "Dune" movie adaptation,but it was Part 1... when is Part 2 due out? Anyone? I thought the new film-- Part 1 -- was quite good.
The book and the rest of the series are amazing. Books 2 and 3 get kind of dry but the rest are so good. Frank Herbert wrote some of the best fiction ever published, and some of it very pertinent to our times. "White Plague" is about a man who loses his family to a car bomb in Ireland and makes a virus in his basement that kills only women that he releases to Ireland, the UK, and Libya. The virus spreads across the world anyway and wipes out 99% of the women on the planet. "The Dosadi Experiment" is about a planet created and curated by the galactic elite to be brutal and polluted for the purpose of making the people on the planet as strong and resilient as possible so the elites can use a mind transfer technology to steal their bodies and live forever. Every series/book he wrote is mindblowing.
“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.”
My favorite film. "The worm IS the spice"
My favourite movie of all time…. My Dad took me to see it in the theatre when I was 10 years old.
I was always disappointed that Lynch's film did not get good audience. I recall seeing it and being thoroughly engrossed by its originality.
Was searching for something else "incredible" and found your post.

I read the book a long time ago, the film must have seemed impenetrable to anyone who didn't know the book. It wasn't all that good anyway.

One of my favorites was "The Dragon in the Sea" (not exactly what the title suggests).
