reminder that if you shoot one of these with a laser, it explodes with the force of a nuclear bomb

and the only reason people don't do it is because nukes are forbidden

They do it anyway though. The shields are the excuse for why everyone in the Dune universe is still using edged weapons, and the reason nobody uses lasguns generally is because if they do hit a shield then they'll blow themselves up as well.

I read Dune but never watched the movie should I give it a shot or is it terrible? I could see it making a really boring movie. Book was good but was starting to get a little too weird in some ways by the end.

Its not a good movie. Its both weirdly accurate to the book while simultaneously taking huge liberties with parts of it. Also having most of the plot explained in internal monologues doesn't work well in movie form.

The soundtrack kicks rear end though and Sting plays Feyd-Rautha so every part of that is awesome.

The internal monologues killed it. Also the nostril plugs look weird on camera.
