Shows and TV

I think it was partly because I had just finished reading the books, and the first movie did a spectacular job of honoring those, while the second movie just kinda forgot the book existed. Actually, at times it felt like the movie was trying actively to forget about the book, which defeats the whole purpose and message of Dune. It also, ironically, makes the movie into almost exactly what Frank Herbert was trying to critize, which is the idolatry and corporatization of shallow things (without all the religious stuff, which is a whole different/ same thing). Idk, I guess it felt more Disneyed and a big money grab than a real story. Otherwise, it was a technically good movie.
