For more than a decade, I’d given up all hope of getting a good adaptation of one of my favorite books. I still can’t quite believe we now have a fantastic one that made a ton of money and won several Oscars.

The 1984 film is utterly horrible, which is a real shame because it has one of the greatest ensemble casts ever put together, and you can easily imagine every one doing a great job as their character in a better movie. David Lynch reportedly didn't take it seriously at all, and only did it so the studio would let him make Blue Velvet.

Once again, Denis Villeneuve proves most impressive as this film was phenomenal. The only meaningless quibble that I had was that past a certain point, you could tell it was a part one, though as you observed, the film warns you about that in advance. Beyond that however, I had no complaints. I’d say that you said it very well that you can tell there was a great deal of authenticity and care put into this. The cast was very impressive. I particularly enjoyed Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Harkonnen. Hans Zimmer delivered a superb score as per usual. All throughout the film, I’m listening to the score, and it becomes readily apparent as to why Hans got the Oscar for this. It’s funny how every time that this movie brings up the Emperor, I subsequently kept expecting Ian McDiarmid to pop up in this film. And each time it happened, a voice in my head chimed in by saying, “Tom, wrong sci-fi franchise.” To which, I kicked myself saying, “Ah, nuts! Happens every time!” You’re correct in that the film was unclear as to the fate of Josh Brolin’s character. It’s been some time since I’ve acquainted myself with the source material, therefore, I couldn’t say with any real degree of certainty one way or another what his fate was. All in all, this was a great reaction. I was impressed and relieved for you that you had the good fortune of being able to film it all and there weren’t any interruptions from the work being done on your neighbor's roof. I’m also happy to hear that the new format of voting for the movies three months in advance has been proving to be beneficial for you. Like I said, great reaction, Jess. Thank you.
