Julie Cox was so good as Irulan.

You are not alone. Of every Dune fan I know we all prefer the mini-series as an adaptation of the book. As a piece of visual storytelling Lynch’s film has its place being... well a David Lynch film but as Dune it is inferior to what came later. I also say Children of Dune was superior to Dune in several key ways such…

Yeah, I’m annoyed that there was barely any mention of either of the Syfy miniseries.

I’ve played the original enough times that I can rattle off a good portion of the story beats even though it’s been more than a decade and a half since I played the game. I’m only at Chapter 15 right now and I can tell you flat out, this game is blatantly fucking with people that played the original.

Does that make it a Shazame? 

This. A squadron of random ships? Just make it a cartoon series and sell the toys to kids while you’re at it. Jesus Mary-Magdalene-Fucking Christ, the concept is so goddamned stupid on its face. Is Wes Jansen in these books? No? Then why the fuck should anybody be interested?

OK, this:

when they do come back to her character we will find a bitter, jaded wash-up who is addicted to spice and lived secluded on a desert planet

I don’t have any respect for any one who tell other people how to have fun and spend their own money either... but whatever.

Right there with ya. I can’t believe the amount of time and energy we collectively spend tearing apart our entertainment and nit-picking every little detail. Can’t we just enjoy stuff once in a while? 

Seriously, how was this not included at all?

#0: Anakin vs. Ahsoka. Somewhere near the top 10 moments in Star Wars as a whole, as far as I’m concerned.

Tolkien did a lot of great illustrations of his own work, like the lovely “huts of the raft-elves”

To me it is - I love his writing, any of his books are an auto-purchase for me. His other stuff - GI JOE Resolute, Hostile Waters etc are also usually a cut above the usual fare.

This. The movie isn’t Birds of Prey it’s just some attempt at using a brand name to make money. My wife refuses to see it as it in no way resembles the Birds of Prey comic or characters she loves and as she literally owns comics statues trades toys etc losing her is a big loss as she’s a multiple tile viewer had she…

Words can not express how much less cool “Alphabet Squadron” sounds compared to “Rogue” and “Wraith.”  

Yes, this times one trillion. This movie feels as close to current comics as the Joel Schumacher movies did to the Batman comics of the day.

Making a large, complex piece of software from scratch is VASTLY, VASTLY more complicated than making a movie or TV show. Even the biggest, most complex movies are child's play compared to the enormity of the challenge of releasing an average video game.

It was because J.J. Abrams couldn’t make money off it, and even worse, might have to pay someone else for their ideas.

But in this case, it’s also a dig at its predecessor, a repudiation of Johnson’s attempt to break free of the past and take the narrative in a new direction
