Can we talk about how drastic a shift Dune: Messiah is from the first book? Since it was suggested to me by my sperglord neighbor and not some drippy cheesecake review in anticipation of another screen adaptation (and before anyone calls me out yes they are all the same fuck you fuck "review journalism" and the virtuous bait garbage that comes with it, I did not ever think I would have to witness people taking a story of a clairvoyant cracker going full eco-Jihadist as a MITEY WHITEY PROVINCIAL TRACT. how far flung from the world of mankind do you need to be to fail to distinguish between pro-aristocracy literature and a crack guerilla team of sand people charging a shining turd palace symbol of PURE IMPERIALISM spoiler ALERT) I read it as if it were a normal book and not the "scifi masterpiece" some retards trot it out to be. It is dreamlike and lovely. The Harkonnens have more character than a thousand Stalin/Hitler/Henry Ford knockoffs. Or the sneering wannabes I don't even care to describe that pepper modern fiction with their "omg emotional tooorture", cuckwank shittakes, and complete void of real motivation because everybody knows how DRIVEN nihilists are. fucking go

anyways what I meant to say is that Paul going blind and other stuff made me sad but the writing was the real killer. you do need to take a protag off a pedestal if you power them up extremely like the first book does with FATE, and the idea of a sole clairvoyant having to "share his FATE" with other clairvoyants is a very clever way to do it - so what exactly went wrong? I haven't read it in a while and I stopped reading during the third book because the Baron Harkonnen hallucinations and the Duncan clones made me feel like Herbert was having dry sadcums. but my memory of not enjoying Messiah holds me back alongside my compulsion to shitpost even though I was like 17 last time

I want to reread but idk if I'm gonna keep going since I just finished the first Dune again with the intention of revisiting it all properly since Dennis Villelelevue made the Blade Runner remake pretty slick (only criticisms I've seen of it are TOO LONG and MUHSOGGYKNEES since it was fucking GORGEOUS and they used a composer at a similar point in his career as the original guy) so if the rumor of him getting the Dune remake are true he can't possibly fuck it up right hahahaha please christ as long as Jared Leto isn't Piter or something….

It is by a desert image I set my thread in motion.

It is by much ambiguity that replies acquire speed.

Autism acquire strain, and the straining becomes a warning.

Is that the second book? I couldn't keep on reading it, got bored with it quickly. Recently started the prequel to Dune series and those have more of the same feel of the original Dune. Gurney Halleck's backstory and the Ixian resistance story are pretty good. The baron is an out and out monster who keeps on getting away with it. I don't understand how everyone turns a blind eye to his atrocities when he does it all in plain sight. I think it shows how everyone in the Dune universe is evil, except maybe Alucard & Emmi and the Ecazi rebels I read about who didn't accept the house system (and whom the Atreides helped to crush).

Destined to play his namesake.

That is to say he'll play either the 40-50 year old Duke Leto Atreides in this new movie or Paul's son; the twenty year-old Leto II in a Dune sequel that may roll out in 2040.

Dune managed to put me off 80 pages into the second book, in no small part due to the preface written by Herbert's son. The guy seemed to have minimal understanding of how Dune played out, and hearing that he actually wrote shit after his father died was a guarantee of infuriating mediocrity. The first book had its moments (dinner scene in particular sticks to mind) but Herbert drops the ball repeatedly, and I got shaken out of the story by this particular moment:

>The Emperor’s smile was calculating. “Anyone accepted into the Imperial company is a member of my entourage.”

>“You have the word of a Duke,” Paul said, “but Muad’Dib is another matter. He may not recognize your definition of what constitutes an entourage.”

And then I couldn't continue even past the few chapters of Messiah. Now I'm thinking I should do what this guy >>13750 did.

Good. You already got something to try and see from some very different side.

This is a wonderful science fiction book. Written by Frank Herbert, it has many fans thanks to its rich world, interesting characters and deep philosophical aspects. Also, seeing a book adapted into a movie is always interesting. At school they told me to write a report on it, so I decided to buy an essay and found https://essays.edubirdie.com/buy-essay for this. But I shouldn't have done it. Then I read it and realized that it was the best thing I had ever read.

It's always a good idea to read such a literature and books. Books that facilitate and enhance my learning process are my favorites. Furthermore, this is not a simple process. It proved to be somewhat difficult for me to prepare a paper on a medical issue that I was working on recently https://www.nursingpaper.com/ That nursing writers might assist me with this is fantastic.

Five Nights at Freddy's https://fivenightsatfreddys2.co is a popular horror game where you play as a night guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza restaurant. Your mission is to survive five nights by monitoring security cameras and stopping scary robot puppets from reaching you. It's simple, but also very stressful and haunting.
