    I really enjoyed the first installment of "Dune." Although some stuff was cut (the background to Dr. Yueh's treason), it was pretty faithful to the original work.

    Some liberties were taken with the timeline, which I found perplexing. For example, we didn't see Emperor Shaddam IV in this part of the story, and he's only alluded to.

    But, Shaddam is going to make an appearance in the second half of the story.

    Oh, and why doesn't anyone proofread any more?

    Walken, who won an Oscar for best supporting actor for 1978’s “The Dear Hunter,” most recently appeared in the Apple TV+ series “Severence” and the Amazon Prime Video series “Outlaws.”

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

      A horrific movie, where he sought out little old ladies, and then shot them with a 12-gauge.

      I was only joking

        I find crap like that every single day in articles I read. It makes me shudder.

          Well, the second verse...

          [Verse 2]
          Walk without rhythm
          It won't attract the worm
          Walk without rhythm
          And it won't attract the worm
          Walk without rhythm
          And it won't attract the worm
          If you walk without rhythm
          Ah, you never learn, yeah
