I have never been able to watch more than 15 minutes of Dune. Ever. I suddenly become 4 years old and must become distracted by lint on the floor, a sound outside, my own toes, whatever else is around.
It has that effect on a lot of people.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

I watched Dune four times over one weekend. Or, lets say, it was playing on the TV for much of the time. I was very drunk and very stoned.

I love Dune for the soundtrack, Jady Jessica, and having to explain the Holtzmann shield to people who have even weaker science understanding than me.
I am not sure that I even like the movie at all, I just enjoy it's circumstances.

Dune was one of the handful of movies we saw in a theatre when I was a kid. Some sort of benefit thing. I'm sketchy on the details. Though I think we'd have gone anyway, it being sci fi.
It's safe to say that almost ALL the things we saw in theatres as kids were sci fi/fantasy. Krull, Flash Gordon, Star.*.

It seems that way for me too, Plei. I wonder if it's because most of the movies aimed at kids were scifi/fantasy genre.

Could be a LOT worse. In my day, they were all by Disney.
Although I still miss Fighting Prince of Donegal.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I watched Dune four times over one weekend.
Just watching it once felt like watching it four times over a weekend. Perhaps longer.
The book? A lifetime.
