I like that it took Frazod only 21 minutes at 1:30 in the morning to all caps warn a Dune n00b to not watch the 1984 version. It's like he has a sixth sense when people are curious about the material. :-) [Reply]
My wife and I finally got around to watching it on Max, yes after all this time, very unique and interesting world he's built. Haven't read the books, only heard about the movie when I was a kid that my parents watched back in the day so never saw the original film adaptation, but I'm glad he's split it off into multiple movies like this, seems like a vast story with alot of details that need to be given time to breathe. Casting was spot on, really well done, score was great, effects were great, can't wait for March 1st. [Reply]

It opens Thursday. I plan to see a midday matinee the following week. No rush, I guess. I've known how it ends for over 40 years. :-)
Yes, I will wait for it to settle down a bit before I go. I don't go to theatres often and prefer my venue to be a little less crowded. [Reply]

Only a bit over 30 years for me.
Not sure when I'll make time to go and see it. I very, very rarely go to the theater these days. [Reply]

The Dark Knight is the best Batman. At the very least was much better than Batman Begins. [Reply]
