In reply to Iza.

Yeah Iza, perhaps Dune was more for the whole event of it … going out & seeing a movie on the screen. But it was pleasing enough and has some grand sets. The planet is just one big sandscape …. Enjoy.

Willow looks so happy there 🙂 I didn’t think I would watch Dune but you made me want to ^^

In reply to Lark.

Hi Lark: I agree … I’m curious to also read Larsen’s debut novel called Quicksand … that’s her only other book I think. Cheers.

I loved the book Passing! It’s such a good book. I wish Nella Larson had written more.

In reply to Mareli @ Elza Reads.

Hi Mareli, having a 11 month old pup is new for us once again. Holy smokes. We are weary … but managing. I walk the doggies in the morning, hub walks them in the early evening … and they are with us during the day too. Ha.
See what you two think of Dune. I thought it was quite good.
Cheers – enjoy your week too.

In reply to Sam Sattler.

Hi Sam, the new movie Dune is also streaming on TV … I think it’s HBO but not totally sure. You might check for it. Still it was sort of fun to see it on the big screen and the theater was not crowded etc. I’ve been jabbed three times with vaccines and still wear masks everywhere so I feel okay & keep distance. I’ve gone galactic ha. Have a great week.

Aaaaah Willow is growing up beautifully! My labbies are so old, I don’t even want to think of a puppy. But it will happen….

My husband is very excited for Dune, I’ll probably watch it with him.

Hope you are well and having a good week, Susan!

I’m so out of the loop these days when it comes to new movies that I didn’t even know there was a new Dune movie. Sounds like it’s worth seeing, especially on the big screen. Like you, we haven’t been inside a movie theater since about mid-2019. We’ve been reluctant to go back because of having to sit too close to someone for at least a couple of hours…still not sure when we will feel comfortable enough to go inside again, but I really want to see this one.

In reply to Carmen. Okay. Perhaps they needed to do more early on with Paul to get viewers more invested in the boy who's supposed to take over. Hmm I dunno. I think Part 2 will see a stronger Paul. I think the big screen experience enhanced it. I'm sort of looking forward to going back to more movies at the theater. It wasn't crowded. Cheers.

Dune was not too predictable, I just wasn’t into it emotionally, which is the way I assign ratings. I gave it a 3*, but I see how seeing it at the theater can make a difference, for it is a movie meant to be experienced in the big screen. My rating may change once Part II is out (if), once I see how both stories connect.
