I was like "wait, isn't William Hurt dead?" then I realized I was thinking of John Hurt.

It is 2020, not sure how you've been mislead.

And the 18th this year is a Wednesday, which would be a really weird release date.

I always saw CHOAM as more analogous to the various East Indies companies of Europe in the 1600-1800's or perhaps the Oil companies that raped the middle East since ww1, sometimes called the seven sisters.

It is ostensibly separate from the government, yet the directorships are controlled by the crown.

Exploration is ill-advised.
CHOAM kinda comes off to me as what once might have been an East India Company style organisation but has since become pretty much completely absorbed into the galactic power structure. The Navigators seem to have more meaningful independence.

So I know it’s been like 3,500 years by the time God Emperor takes place but it really just feels like 1 decade of Frank Herbert getting older and more reactionary and way more obsessed with Egyptology

lads, patience just imagine in the next two years we will have not one, but two movie adaptations for Dune that will definitely not suck

besides the trailer is already in your mind, but i'm sure for now it's just all the best bits(without the lovely Fyed) from lynch's version with TOTO theme cranked even higher

i also just really wanted repeat a general mantra of gently caress YOU BRIAN HERBET, you ginger oval office

i am hard pressed to think of another case of naked opportunism like it in lit or other creative media...of a son/daughter just churning out hot garbage under the name of the parent's legacy work, did owe people money or something? or realized that writing non-derivative science fiction is way harder than he thought and he probably shouldn't have just blindly followed in same extremely difficult to make a living on profession like his father?

i am confident that since villeneuve is committed to a faithful adaptation and is a legit fan, he saw Dr.Steve Brule as the end to a mean for the adaptations rights

but Dune2020 will inevitably induce some confused new fan to buy one of his works by accident and should give everyone in this thread full body shivers

I guess eventually youll find that some failsons are eventually confronted by material need and like, he was 100% never gonna make anything unique or interesting. Him being born under the shadow of bad-dad, good-author Frank Herbert was probably just lucky for him

Ive speculated itt that it might be malice because seriously frank wasn't a great dad based on like quotes from Brian and iirc Bruce, or maybe second hand stuff abt Bruce said by Brian, but most likely it was Brian being the average son of a guy that happens to be a giant in science fiction, faced with a dillema of make less money or cash in on the dead fucker you're still crying about in therapy.

I'm saying like, me and most of y'all itt would probably do it too lol

Paul of Dune wasn't a really terrible book but resurrecting all of the main characters and parading them around in Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune makes those two final books straight up unreadable.
