    "I can get a better deal from the Harkonnens."

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I'm hoping to get to it this weekend. I loved the first movie - I've watched it three times already.

        Be sure to do IMAX.

        We're off to the Providence IMAX for a date tomorrow. We may even dine extravagantly at the mall food-court beforehand.

          "Dune Prophecy"

          Currently expected to arrive on Max in the fall this year, Dune: Prophecy will serve as a prequel series to Denis Villeneuve's critically acclaimed movie adaptations of Frank Hebert’s novels. Set thousands of years before the rise of Paul Atreides, the upcoming spinoff show will chart the origins of the mysterious and influential order known as the Bene Gesserit.

          While the original Dune author Frank Herbert only penned six novels set in his expansive science fiction universe, the franchise has since expanded to include a total of 23 novels and 13 short stories spanning some 15,000 years of history. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and intricately detailed science fiction properties, current and previous film and television adaptations have only begun to scratch the surface of Dune’s true potential.

          While Villeneuve is adamant that his plans for the Dune franchise will end after Dune: Messiah, Warner Bros. may want to continue exploring Herbert’s sci-fi universe long after his departure. Moreover, with Dune: Prophecy introducing a corner of the Dune universe that existed millennia before Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides ever set foot on Arrakis, it could also potentially pave the way for countless potential spinoffs to follow.

            Are they going to base it off the Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson books?

                MUCH better day today. Out to lunch with my bride, down to pick up a case of wine in the city and all the while listening to my favorite NPR show, Science Friday.

                One of today's topics was could Arrakis exist? Where would the oxygen come from on an all-sand desert world? What creatures could exist for the sandworms and humanoids to eat? How did they not need water?

                  Pro tip: springing for the extra spring roll is fine but avoid the temptation to supersize the soda even if it looks like a good deal. Dune is a long movie and you want to reduce the probability of needing a bathroom break during the movie.

                    Sand is silicon dioxide, so there is an abundance of oxygen on an all-sand world.

                    What creatures could exist for the sandworms and humanoids to eat? How did they not need water?

                    Can probably make up some story about microorganisms too small to be seen by the naked eye, and make them he bottom of the food chain in the desert much like plankton is the bottom of the food chain in the sea. :man-shrugging:

                      Is that from the “Schools of Dune” trilogy? I can’t say that I read those or the House books. Are they set about halfway between Vorian and Leto?

                          Wait, it’s only 80 years after the end of the Jihad? So Vorian’s probably still active?
