Talkie Tuesday: Dune Part 2

 

"The Holy War begins."

 

Hello everyone!

 

DUN DUN DUN.

 

As the saying goes. Because look at the quote at the beginning of the page. Huh? HUH?

 

Yeah, we're headed there baby, and despite the fact we've been actively trying to avoid it since ... well, the start of this all.

 

But some things are apparently actually predestined, so here we are.

 

I'm just a tiny bit late when it comes to the release of this movie, but not TOO late, which is just as well so I can ride the tail end of some of this hype.

 

And there SHOULD be lots and lots of hype, because we're going to be concluding the story in a third one, as already confirmed, although I don't think they'll manage to cover all that Herbert covered in his Dune books to begin with.

 

Without further ado, let's jump right into Dune Part 2.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Dune

 

"A great man doesn't seek to lead; he's called to it. And he answers." 

Hello everyone!

I am fully on board this express train right now.

Aka I've actually watched this movie relatively quickly after it's release AND gotten in on the hype that everyone and their mother seems to be feeling about it, especially given that a part 2 has already been green-lit (and why wouldn't it have been, based on the film's success, am I right?).

Suffice to say though, I was going into this blind.

See, I've never read the original novel by Frank Herbert. Oh I'd seen it, there was always one of those covers with either a big ass worm on the front of just sand dunes all over the place, but for some reason it never caught my attention enough to warrant me picking it up.

Suffice to say I will do so NOW, of course, for that and probably the rest depending on just how the story ends up unfolding.

But until such a time as that, the only thing left is to get on a ship and travel to the desert planet ourselves in this blog post. And, seriously, does EVERY epic saga ever begin on a desert planet in the middle of the universe? Dune is the new-age Tatooine!
