I'm so sad OSC is a tool

I feel like he flipped a coin on every possible political issue and then just went extreme radical in that direction for each one individually.

The original Dune movie with modern special effects would be really sweet.


Watch Jodorowsky's Dune. A pretty cool doc on what could have been.

Jodorowsky's Dune would not of been good. It's spectacle for the sake of spectacle. That's not what Dune is in my opinion at least.

Dear Wave, I haven't finished reading the Jihad books but from what I read I rather enjoyed them as well. Also I still rather like the Houses trio.

Muwahahahaha.

Hmm.
Actually the fact that you didn't read the jihad trilogy changes things just a little. I read those books before Sandoworms came out and I knew immediately what they were going to do with it, so I was angry already starting the book. On its own the jihad trilogy (if you forget they deliberately attempt to link it with the main series) is OK, just a mediocre piece of SF.

I read a review after the original 'discussion' we had that sums up my feelings perfectly but I doubt I'd be able to find it again.

Some the comments are actually better than the review itself. The violence wasn't a problem for me.
My issues can be summed up pretty well by comments 18 and 19.

Especially 19.

I haven't and won't read the book or see the movie, but from what I've gathered reading about them it sounds like some hilariously cliche/stereotypical female writing that affirms everything red-pill type dudes say about them.

So ya, basically what Teut said.

No it wasn't.

It was pretty standard of every TSM v CLG game. CLG wins the first 35 minutes, and then insert random stupidity from both teams for 10-15 more minutes and then one person wins.

aka, NA LCS, where everyone sucks, and you may as well flip a coin to determine the winners. It would take less time as well, and be less cringy.
