Dune 2 discourse is pop(corn)ing off .
Can’t wait to see it in IMAX, and I just might buy the ridiculous popcorn tub.
I’ve been trying to figure out what we call it.
2UNE
Du2
I am calling it 2une (“tune”) to everyone I know IRL, but did not want to confuse the title situation for anyone on the thread.
Jokey memes aside, I’ve been thinking about it in my head as “New Dune - part 2” and whenever I’ve spoken about the first movie I’ve referred to it as “the new Dune.”

I just rewatched the Syfy Dune Miniseries for comparison sake after seeing Dune Part 2 in theaters.
Very interesting to compare the focal points of both adaptations. I think the Mini-series overall does a much, much better job in teaching you about the Fremen culture and the theatricality of the lighting I think really adds to the New Wave 60s sci-fi vibe of the Book.
There are individual scenes or even characters I think are done better in Dune Part 1 and 2, but on the whole I think the SyFy miniseries is the better story adaption for me.
You’re making me tempted to rewatch it. I didn’t see the miniseries until long long after I had read the books and seen Lynch’s film. I remember being pretty upset over a lot of little changes that were made when I saw it. Mostly Irulan showing up as such a major player so early.
