    How long before we see the first "I hate sand" joke, do you think?

    Those jokes are coarse and irritating and get posted everywhere.

    It's going to be tough coming up with "Kwisatz Haderach" puns.

    That is the new term for banning someone due to their infractions. We will be shortening the way off the forum.

    How long before the new Dune move leads to a chorus of disapproval, A Chorus of Disapproval?

    I mean, this is the Internet, after all.

    They made one character who is male in the book, into a woman for the movie.
    The fun with the usual people has already begun.

    When the shortest person says "the shortening of the way", we listen.

    I'm confused. Why Dune?
    Why today?

    The Dosadi Experiment is another very good one by Herbert; someone similar in that it is a desert survival planet setting. Recommend it; .
    Why is the sky blue?

    What's the confusion? Didn't you sign up for Dune 2020 discussions?

    I do not understand the confusion at all. You click on a forum labeled "Future Films" and discussion therein is about the future film.

    The moment we get concrete, official information on future movies apart from release dates that do not appear to be reachable at this time, we will revert to discussing Serious Spaceballs.

    On that note, anticipate discussing Dune for the foreseeable future.

    I'm glad someone else said it. [:D]

    But seriously... has the rules for April Fool's changed or something?

    Since so many people are home with little to do, and since LFL doesn't seem to want to give us anything to talk about, and since Dune has just started releasing images and articles about the film, and since it looks AMAZEBALLS, we decided to use this discussion forum to actually discuss something. Something that is actually happening. Something that seems like it will be life-alteringly good. Please, join us. :)

    And as pointed out on Twitter, the movie does seem to star Big Daddy Poe Dameron, his son Young Ben Solo, Rey Palpatine and Jyn Erso.

    (I'm too lazy to go find images)

    So it's a completely legit Star Wars movie.

    It's a sci-fi/space fantasy movie set on a desert planet with magic telepathy powers and a boy with a messiah complex. If it looks like Star Wars, if it walks like Star Wars, etc.

    Originally I was planning to re-read the book (which I first read years ago and remember virtually nothing about) so I could appreciate the film as an adaptation, but maybe I should just watch it as a Villeneuve film
