We were all saying this weeks ago. 

No, I blame Fred Trump failing to properly use a condom without a hole. 

The folks who thought Rey had too many powers

The folks who thought Rey had too many powers at a young age are gonna absolutely hate Paul Atreides.

Paul was the outcome of a very long term breeding program that was deliberately aiming to produce a person of great power, so it’s not like he’s a surprise (although he did show up a generation early). And he was trained by the best fighters in the Imperium since childhood.

Disagree on all counts.

Jodorowsky hired Floyd to score his abortive 1970s version, so it’s a kind of full circle thing. (Also the French band Magma.)

I grew up when the movie came out so Dune is very much set in my mind as that. Their uniforms in this remind me of anime like Last Exile, which I like too. Dune 2049 a bit, not totally but I get that vibe. I love 2049 so I’m not upset. I hope it’s really good. I hope the Floyd is just for the trailer, it was weird…

A lot of the hero worship that sprang up around George Lucas in the ‘70s and ‘80s was based around the notion that he had created an entire world. The reality was that he’d pieced Star Wars together from a variety of sources —including comic books and strips and SF stories (both “low” pulp and “higher” forms like Found…

I’m still disappointed in the split to two movies. Mainly because I’m concerned we will never actually see the second one. And now with Covid here as another way to keep audiences away.. ugh. I wish they filmed both back to back. 

It took 45 years, but Pink Floyd is finally in a Dune movie. Or at least, a cover version in a trailer.

you consider how much they did on their own show. they wrote every episode but one. they directed, edited, and starred as half the characters. Doc even composed some of the music when Thirlwell wasn’t available for something. There has NEVER been another show like that.

I would like a little resolution to the whole Monarch/Venture overall storyline, i.e. “Did that asshole just call me Malcolm?”, or who is in the scary bear suit, but on the realistic side I will always treasure that complete insane genius of this show for the past 17 years. The shit it included and got away with is…

I’m in the middle of a rewatch of the series, and it never gets old, the jokes, the world building, the details, everything is smart and funny to this day. It is such a good show that it ruined other shows that people and this website told me were good like Bojack Horseman. Rick and Morty only exist because of Venture…

Not that I’m happy about this news, but honestly, having 7 seasons where the quality never wavered is an amazing way to bow out. Also, I sincerely doubt this is the last we’ll see of the Venture family. 

So does that mean The Monarch won?

If anyone else picks this series up they have to keep the randomly long gaps between seasons, it’s tradition now.
