Dune needs to be an extended tv series backed by either a HBO or Amazon type budget and given 5 seasons minimum.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Never read the book. I went to the theater in 1984 to watch the movie and swore then to never touch anything with 'Dune' in the title.

I would prefer the Gorn Jabberwocky instead.

I did read the book.  And two or three others in sequence after it.  Wish I had all that time back.  Not a big fan at all.

I refuse to die until I've seen Dune adapted properly to film.

Of course this may just mean I'm immortal.  I haven't tested this yet.
