can't wait for them to follow in the footsteps of the Star Wars EU and write a separate novel about each one of the pugs shown being led by Leto I in the Lynch movie during the move to Arrakis

I would absolutely read these but they'd have to be written by a competent author. Maybe an anthology book, where each author goes into the details of the lives of each pug.

If it were a KJA thing then each pug will have been, at some point, custodian of the secret plans for the Death Star.

I mean, obviously at least one of the Death Stars will actually be under the control of IG-88 LORD CYBERTREX 8000.

The Harkonnen soundtrack from Emperor: Battle for Dune is wonderful and that game needs and deserves an HD remaster.

I don't like much about 1984 Dune, but that cold opener by Virginia Madsen is ace, and it's hard to imagine how Villaneuve could top it (and the cool rear end creepy weird string noise right up front)


I don't even really like the score to be honest, but the one song that Lynch commissoned by Eno is fantastic and very fitting.

Oh also I read a KJA quote the other day that made me want to puke:

“I don't like every writer's style; for instance, I have never been able to get through Ursula LeGuin, China Mieville, or Iain Banks, all of whom are critical darlings.” —KJA

Chop of his hands so he can never write another word because he is a disgrace to science fiction literature, IMO.

I kind of hated the one mieville book I read, but it wasn't because he was a bad writer.

Funny thing is Rogue One basically makes it canon that the Death Star was based on the same technology as lightsabers and uses the same components.
