I just finished reading the science fiction novel Dune. I'm gonna read Messiah next. What's the thread consensus on when I stop? How much more good Dune lies ahead of me? Is all the Brian Herbert stuff garbage?

Stop after Messiah if you just came for Paul. Or Stop after God Emperor if you just came for Leto, or Duncan, or if you came from watching Duncan climb a wall.

Apologies if this has been posted a few pages further back than I checked, but I was walking about town today and saw this advertisement.

Aw and I was JUST at the Fringe and saw all sorts of stuff at venues within a block of there. Didn't see the poster anywhere :argh:

Just finished KSR's Ministry for the Future. No horniness except for being horny for the idea that carbon coin and new social media will save us

Tune into the fireplace channel, you absolute buffoon
Ministry for the Future was probably one of his weaker books, start strong, ends with a fart.
Probably one of the less horny though so not all is lost!

As someone who works for a studio and used to work for the studio that delayed this, you are right on wanting talent for the campaign but also things like ADR and pickups are impossible right now.

In addition to this, WB brass can't just pay the writers and end the strike on their own, as much as I would like them to. I'm Team Labor as almost everyone is, at least at my level. We're powerless

During the M3GAN campaign digital brought us this idea to have Jenna Davis come in and record her voice for hours so that they could deepfake the M3GAN doll saying anything they wanted and would control that voice forever.

The second they pitched that I knew the strike was happening. If I was her publicist, manager or agent that meeting would be over the second the words came out of their mouth.

I read through the 5th back in the day, that 5th book I just remember snippets of. Isnt there a plot point that Duncan is in some sort of living situation with a smokin hot babe, who wants to gently caress him real bad, but if he gives in shes gonna throat chop/snap his neck as soon as he cums?
