"Jodorowsky's Dune (2013)" - The definition of audacity in adaptation
*Contains Spoilers for the content discussed and the wider Dune Universe**Contains spoilers for the Dune universe*Jodorowsky's Dune" is a documentary film directed by Frank Pavich that explores the ambitious and ultimately unrealized vision of filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky to adapt Frank Herbert's science fiction novel "Dune" during the 1970s. The documentary delves into Jodorowsky's creative process, revealing his innovative and avant-garde ideas for the film, which included collaboration with renowned artists like H.R. Giger, Moebius, and Salvador Dalí. Despite the project's eventual collapse due to financial constraints, "Jodorowsky's Dune" highlights the lasting impact and influence it had on the science fiction genre and the film industry as a whole.

*Contains Spoilers for the content discussed and the wider Dune Universe**Contains spoilers for the Dune universe*We watched the Alan Smithee/Extended cut of Dune from 1984! David Lynch's Dune is a wild intergalactic rollercoaster where sandworms are enormous and the eyebrows even bigger. Join us in a universe where the spice must flow, but coherent plot lines might be optional. With Lynch's signature surreal touch, expect strange dreams, funky visuals, and a soundtrack that feels like it's competing with the sandworms for attention (and is probably winning). Lynch's Dune is a one-of-a-kind experience where the spice flows, Kyle broods, and confusion reigns supreme. Strap in for a journey that's part epic adventure, part psychedelic fever dream, and all Lynch....

"Dune: Messiah (1969)" by Frank Herbert
*Contains Spoilers for the content discussed and the wider Dune Universe**Contains spoilers for Dune universe*Originally published in serial format - Dune: Messiah is the second novel in Frank Herbert's "Dune" series, and it continues the complex narrative set in the expansive and intricate universe of Arrakis. The story unfolds several years after the events of the first novel, with Paul Atreides, now Emperor of the Known Universe, grappling with the consequences of his actions. As Paul struggles to maintain control over the sprawling empire, he faces political intrigue, betrayal, and the burdens of his prescient visions. The narrative delves into the complexities of leadership, the consequences of absolute power, and the intricate interplay of politics and religion. Dune Messiah is a thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of Paul's ascension and the challenges of ruling a universe. But is, in our opinion, a brilliantly tragic love story. ...
