As of the minute I am writing this, I have been awake officially for 24 hours. Because I wanted to see the next chapter of Dune, to see how a person like Denis would handle what is the most difficult part of the book to adapt, the end.

And partially I'm exhausted but that's right now, because not for one second during the runtime was I tired, bored or disengaged.
When I heard Denis was going to adapt the book into a movie, a book I've loved for a very long time, I was still concerned.
Not because of Denis or the crew of people he brings with him.
Not because of the casting.
I was worried that some part was going to be missing, misrepresented and for another 30 years we'd have that clear divide of the people who read the book and wanted this epic to be visualized in a complete way and those who see the movie and think it's story mediocre.
And maybe some part of me was also scared that if it worked it'd no longer be mine.
But what a stupid, selfish and cynical thing to think, having now seen it in it's entirety please, enjoy this. Love this.
There is nothing I'd change, it captures relationships and traits of characters with history dating thousands of years without missing a beat.
It captures the grand epic feel of the fights big and small through every technique that makes films, film.
It's never disonent in it's themes and aesthetics and gives a tangiablity to a world I rarely saw realized the way I pictured it.
I'm sorry for ever doubting that something this big could never be done, and for thinking I needed to hold onto it as if it should only define me.
Please watch two masterpieces in adaptations, and obsess over every detail big and small because this is what going to the theatre is for. This is an experience meant to be experienced and will forever be a triumph in science fiction storytelling.
Now excuse me while I get some well deserved sleep.

P.S. I did indeed get myself one of those buckets.
