I remember it being a rat unless we’re discussing different parts but that’s just the reality of what you were able to get away with in 2000s media. The movie would have been NC-17 if all of the violence from the book made it in

I mean, no? It would defeat the point of the story. The monoculture of white men destroying everything around them was what Brett Easton Ellis was talking about and making clowns would have made that a different story

It’s not pointless, it has a very clear point: centralize the police in the single territory free from the federal/state devide, where the entirety of the government that controls the country functions, and place it under the direct control of an autocratic ruler who has previously used control of this territory to avoid consequences for his crimes

The primary difference is he’s doing it in year 1 in preparation for what he’s about to do instead of retroactively in the last 20 days to try to save his ass. If that doesn’t scare the shit of of you then it should

If anything he made Chani less of rug to be walked all over and gave her a personality outside of “wife to the messiah”. If you were going to bitch about anyone in the Dune movies I’d think it’d be The Lady Jessica because she is an entirely different character in the movies. I don’t think that’s a criticism because she serves the plot well, but that one is a more grounded argument

I blame Don Quixote personally

In America we have trees you can drive through:

AAA Delivery is accurate in this case!

If you’re paying that much to fly you’re not waiting in regular security

In her defense if you’d rather be porking that ball of anxiety who causes every man in her orbit to experience full on ego collapse than your wife, she has every right to divorce you. And Jeph can pay her legal fees, god knows he has the patreon money for it

The golden rule of money making tips: if this was a successful way to make money, why are they selling it to you instead of just using it to make money?

The two most likely answers:

1. They’re making more money selling the idea than the idea generates
2. (Far more likely) It’s a scam

Why are they introducing competition to their scheme? Why did they waste time building a sales deck and presentation when they could have been making money? If selling you money making tips is more profitable, how much money is there to be made?

I usually feel like I have an intuitive answer to “what ifs?” This one really surprised me to find that the answer is basically “nothing”
