Honestly, this video ramped up my excitement even more than the final trailer. Holy fuck, I need this film now!

I don't think she meant classics like Dune, Asimov's works, Bradbury etc. and more the TV/movie Science Fiction, which more or less sacrifices a good story for spectacle and action ( which sells way more tickets/books than cerebral works). Let's be honest - the Stargate franchise, which she was part of, was mediocre from the writing point as well as some Star Trek episodes ( while others were absolutely brilliant).

I remember years ago you getting on my back because i said that the Star Wars Expanded universe books were mediocre when you get down and really read them objectively. However that doesn't mean i can't enjoy them, it's just that they are not that memorable and won't be read in the decades to come unlike Asimov or Herbert's Dune series.

Well, I've actively loathed the Asimov stuff I've tried to read, he was a very boring writer and extremely overrated in my opinion. Same with bradbury, I couldn't be paid to read their stuff. The vast majority of Star Wars (Old) EU books I've read I really enjoyed and I'll still remember decades from now, even if I don't reread them. So, that is definitely subjective. That said, in my opinion the worst Stargate episode is still better written then anything fucking Asimov ever wrote, unless the judging criteria is the ability to put someone to sleep, then shit like Foundation is top of the category.

Regardless, my point stands. She's insulting the stuff that is the only reason she's been able to have a career as an actor. The fact that I think she's also an idiot and completely wrong about the quality of the stuff aside, she's still biting the hand that fed her and it makes her look bad.

But, we are talking about something she apparently said to someone else, not a public statement she made, so its more about how she's an ass as a person. She was apparently not stupid enough to make these comments herself publicly, so she is probably smart enough to know to keep her opinions on her work to herself.

It's nonsense. No reason to take it seriously.

Moving on, I'm really liking Issacs' portrayal. Which will make viewing hard.

Man, I wish I could think of a clever Halloween name. I am having a complete block on it. Even my current user name is just my initials .

I actually used to post on here as Mahdi 20 years ago because of Dune, before I found out it was a real religious term. #ignorantteenager

Fights Like Demons?
 
I started re-reading Dune tonight. Beautiful evening, sitting in my triplexes back yard. Couldn't find my folio edition - probably packed away in storage some where from my multiple moves. Bought the book at least 10 times, can't find them:rolleyes:. Reading an EPUB version on my Kobo.

Where do your books go? :vulcan::wtf:
 
A little late on this (because I only just got to watching it myself), but Denis Villeneuve was on Colbert a few nights ago:

It's a lot fun watching the two of them fanboying over the novel. :D
