@mushroom_soup 44 minutes of Star Wars take place on Tattooine, which is Dune with the serial numbers lightly sanded away. Return of the Jedi also returns to Tattooine, and includes a sandworm mouth-like sarlacc pit.

@mushroom_soup @judgedread Nobody ever had to explain to me why Star Wars was successful but Dune they do. And I’ve read Dune

@leyonhjelm @judgedread @mushroom_soup can't wait for the Dune movie that's 3 hours of a giant sandworm pondering philosophy and fate while he tries to devise a form of government that will last forever

@noyoushutthefuckupdad I don’t hate Dune so much as I met a shit ton of people who clearly have a pretentious need to prove they’re deep. @mushroom_soup

@leyonhjelm @mushroom_soup I like the first 4 Dune books. but yes, there are many annoying twats who think they are wise and clever because they can quote the "I must not fear" litany.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad I read the first one and liked it well enough. I didn’t read more out of sheer bloody-mindedness towards some pretentious twats who wanted me to read it so we could discuss it. Now it’s been decades and I haven’t gotten back to it now that those guys aren’t around. @mushroom_soup

@noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world @leyonhjelm@fsebugoutzone.org @mushroom_soup@poa.st Have read the first three so far. The Bene Gesserit are so bad; why would anyone want to emulate them? They are like if the world’s elite central planners were really an Illuminati, and all-female too, hence moved by jealousy and satisfied with mediocrity. The Fremen on the other hand…

@leyonhjelm @mushroom_soup Frank Herbert had a clunky and confusing prose style that made it hard to understand what the hell was going on on any page. but the universe he created is brilliant, and reading God-Emperor as a 40-year-old man made me question how IRL politics as a whole are supposed to work.

@CharlesSynyard @mushroom_soup @leyonhjelm book 4 is brilliant. books 5-6 were crap, then the author died. I have not read any of his son's books.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world @mushroom_soup@poa.st @leyonhjelm@fsebugoutzone.org Figured Brian’s weren’t any good, given how bad the prefaces he wrote are. Looking forward to squeezing God-Emperor of Dune into my schedule sometime, and will slog through the other couple too since I already bought them a few years ago.The best I can do to show my cred contra the litany-posters is to refer to my thoughts on what Paul did wrong in Dune Messiah (which were unchanged after Children of Dune). But I guess if Paul had solved all the Empire’s problems, then there wouldn’t have needed to be any more books. https://gab.com/CharlesSynyard/posts/112141050593305741

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @leyonhjelm @mushroom_soup Each of his books I've read the first half I barely know what's going on, and the 2nd half is gripping and exciting as everything actually happens

@Arkana @leyonhjelm @mushroom_soup he should have worked with a better writer to make his rad ideas more comprehensible.no I do not accept the Heidegger-style philosophy of hiding your point beneath layers to gibberish to drive away the less curious. writers should know how to write well.

@judgedread @mushroom_soup Dune itself is the history of the Middle-East during the fall of the Persian Zoroastrians with the serial numbers still on it, but with a sticky note reading "SPAAAAAAACE in the FUUUUTUUUURE" stuck over it.
