Oh wow look, another totally organic cultural phenomenon that is definitely not munfactured corporate hype!

I can't wait for all the Dunecore aesthetic TikToks that will mysteriously disappear after the marketing period ends!

I thought the Dune movies were fine, and at least aesthetically pleasing, but I couldn't give a fuck less about a third movie. Of course I only ever read the first novel so maybe that has something to do with it. I'll probably catch it in theaters but only after its been out for a couple weeks, and i'll be sure to go on like a Tuesday at an unpopular theater.

Doomsday on the other hand, is going to be legendarily bad. The actors were not even in the same room for most of the shoot. The sets are almost entirely blue screens. The script was not finished until AFTER they finished shooting. There is no way this makes for a watchable movie. Normally this would be exactly the type of movie I'd have to see in theaters, but Disney will never receive another dollar from me, so i'll be pirating it to laugh at.

Messiah is unironically a great book.

It somehow reminds me of the Taliban victory irl, now they are running things, but they have to maintain a bureaucracy, and make arrangements with all these corporations and institutions, and it's soul crushing.
