Dune
Boooooooring
I really enjoyed them because I really enjoyed the books as a child.
A combination of nostalgia and a great portrayal of a very familiar story.
Having said that, I certainly appreciate that they're actually crap for everyone else: and that's perfectly fine.
No movie makes everyone happy, that's probably for the best.
This is true: I have seen the first half hour of every Dune... But I ALWAYS pass out around that point.
Even the miniseries from 2000? It's been awhile but I remember that one being pretty good.

Oh yeah, that's where it started. My dad loved it and he'd put it on when I was younger and I'd start sawing logs.
Ah well, I recommend the first book if you're into sci-fi because it has some cool world building. Book's always better than the movie, right? But I get why people aren't into that world.
Dune without Patrick Stewart or any other Xavier actors just doesn't count.
But for reals, I honestly did find the two newest versions way more boring than the older ones.
Hmm… I think it’s too early to tell if Timothy might be a Xavier one day.
Honestly I can get behind three Xavier generations and all three dune generations having overlap. Feels right. Need to make this happen.
I would also accept Jason Momoa as Xavier. Better than fucking Aquaman.
