I think it's more about the jihad and religious fanaticism.

You mean from the perceived "good guys?"

No and that's a fair point that I indirectly acknowledged in my original post.

Paul is going to try and deal with this as the books go. He acknowledges the issues

Cmon man this is TexAgs, let it fly. If you're for committing genocide on native populations just let it out.
I assumed it was going to be a water rights debate, but genocide will sometimes generate some backlash as well.

CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

I'm sure this has already been discussed, but I haven't searched through the other pages. Does someone who doesn't know anything about the plot of Dune, need to read the book? Been discussing the idea of reading book 1 with some friends, but have heard conflicting reviews.

Obviously would plan on seeing the movie, but is the book worth it?

Haha this is one of those "tell me you haven't read the last two pages of this thread without telling me you haven't" moments.

A few posters just got done discussing this and I think the general consensus is the movie should be clear enough without having read the book but you might find it more enjoyable if you read it. So leaning towards recommending reading first.

ETA: my brain skipped over your first sentence where you specifically said you hasn't read the other pages. Whoops.

If the movie is going to be successfull, then no you don't need to read the book. Just like reading Harry Potter or LOTR wasn't required.
The movie can't cover everything in the book, some characters will be omitted or combined. You won't get the full history of people, places, or items. For example, similar to the history of the main characters' swords was glossed over in the movies, but is a bigger deal in the books of LOTR - there's a lot of history and lore around Crysknives that probably won't make it into the Dune movie beyond "They have cool special knives!"

Go read Dune. It's amazing. Probably the best and most influential science fiction book ever written. One of my favorite books that I think I've read around 6 times. I've read the entire series around 4 times. I pick up new things everytime. It's got politics, religion, action universe shattering consequences and actions.

Thanks for the spoilers IGN. The main characters are the heroes?
IGN also spoiling that Leto II isn't in the movie, because he's not exactly a hero.

Please keep spoilers to the spoiler thread. It's not polite to write on this topic otherwise.

You could parse that statement. Those are the heroes of the House, but not necessarily heroes as in good, upstanding people.

Who would be the outstanding people then? Are you saying you're on team Harkonin? Certainly not with a name like Dunkin

Look, all I'm saying is that Shaddam IV is the Emperor and can do no wrong.

If another delay means it's released exclusively to theaters and not to HBO max simultaneously then I may be for it in the interest of increasing the possibility of a second movie.

Does anyone want to see Venom though? I might rent that in 2027.

Dune has a built in multi-decade scifi base.
