Wellll it basically birthed modern sci-fi, changed world building forever, and was the main inspiration for Star Wars. In fact, Star Wars is just a rip of off Dune. I'm reading it right now for my Lit&Film class, it's epic. There's been a lot of crappy movies and reboots and TV shows, but they all suck. The new movie is coming out later this year, I think, and the teasers look good.
Still not a fan of book to movie adaptations, but I'm hoping this one won't let me down.

Bruuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Why have I never heard of this?

Unfortunately the library is closed.

Big oof

Dang C.

Dune? I've watched a bit of the movie. I was cut off for some reason and never got to see the rest of it. It's on my list though. I've heard a little about the new one– with Zendaya and Timothee Chalamet? From what I've seen, it looks promising.

Yee² My sentiments exactly

Recently watched Driving Miss Daisy. It was sweet, funny, and had multiple powerful scenes. However, it didn't really have a discernable plot line (rising action, climax, resolution, etc.) from what I could discern. Still, I liked it, except the ending. Has anyone else scene it?

Nah. Unfortunately I surprisingly don't watch a lot of movies.

Has anyone seen Silence with Andrew Garfield?

Hmm no, maybe I'll see if my streaming services have it

It's R I'm pretty sure, btw. But I liked it because of how good it was. Though if you really question one shot then tell me 'cause I did. I feel like it didn't do a good job of showing Christianity and the impact it has on thinking about death and being killed but that's the one thing.

Do you guys have any favorite musicals or plays? I don't know of many, but a lot of film nerds tend to like a few.

Les Miz!

Though the book was better.

And Dear Evan Hansen is also pretty great. Though the script is meh.

Have yet to see Le Miz, but I've heard a lot of praise over Dear Evan Hansen.

Dear Evan Hansen is great! I saw it a little while back. While I felt the story itself could use a bit more work, the songs are powerful!

Les Miz is amazing. And the 2012 movie is pretty great.

Dear Evan Hansen is great! I saw it a little while back. While I felt the story itself could use a bit more work, the songs are powerful!

Big agree. Aspiring film nerd?

Nope! I've just always had a love for musicals and music in general. I used to want to be on stage but I don't think I could ever sing well enough to be cast for anything, not to mention my general anxiety of being in front of large groups of people.

Do you take any musical theater classes? They help with all those things

Nope. My school might offer them but I believe in taking the classes you're also made to participate in getting on stage and I'd legitimately cry.

oof my guy

It's one thing to do something from your seat, it's another to go up in front of the class.
