milky coffee or black coffee? what colour pen do you annotate your books in? would you rather sit on the moon or swim amongst the stars? what is the first thing you remember from your childhood? do you ever bake? what’s your favourite candle scent? Do you prefer pizza or pasta? have you ever been in love? where would you go if you could pick another universe? candle light or lamp light?

Some questions will ruin you if you are denied the answer long enough.

Any Dune fans on here??

Ok so I’ve never read any of the books. I tried reading the original Dune in middle school or high school years ago but couldn’t get past the first couple pages. I just watched the movie on Sunday and now I want to read the book! Really, this time. Actually, sit down and read the whole book. 

So, I have a few questions. I’ve been reading some tips on how to read Dune. Since it’s such a big undertaking. One tip said to reread different passages if I have to and to go through the appendices as I read. So...I kind of bought the ebook on a whim for my Kindle and now I’m wondering if I should have bought the physical book in order to do this. Would you Dune fans recommend the physical book or ebook to read through it? I want to make sure I do this right. This will be my first time reading it and I want to understand as much as possible. And with an ebook it’s difficult to go back and forth, and reread passages and all that jazz. So, definitely tell me which is better and if worse comes to worse, I can save the ebook for later.

Also, are the other 5 novels by Frank Herbert worth reading? I’ve heard mixed reviews. That some of them are, and some people say it’s better to stick with the first novel and that’s it. My TBR is long, so if it’s just the first book, I’d be ok with that. 

And onto the movie now!

I was originally worried about Timothee Chalamet’s casting in this, as I’ve only seen him in small Indie movies and this was a big budget extravaganza. But he definitely did a great job and I can’t believe I ever doubted him. He was fantastic as Paul Atreides, even though, to be honest, as a newbie with this franchise, I still don’t really know who this guy is. 

More Zendaya please!! I love this girl! From The Greatest Showman to Spider-Man and now Dune, she always hits it out of the park. Like Paul Atreides, I still don’t know who her character is in this story, but I’m excited to read the book and find out, 

Jason Momoa! You’ve come so far from your days on Stargate Atlantis. Still, though, even though he was one of the weakest links in the movie, he still fit right in with the core cast. (And I hope I never see him clean-shaven again...)

Oscar Isaac was so different from the likes of Poe Dameron in this, that it took some snooping for me to realize he was the same actor. Still, though, he was great as well and really pulled the film together.

Cinematography was beautiful and the dialogue, although I didn’t understand some of it, really sparked. I can’t wait for Part 2, and hope to watch this again when I finish the book and can understand the movie more. 

So, what will it be guys? Physical book or ebook? Just book one or the whole original six?

I’d love to hear if there are any longtime Dune fans here on Tumblr.

(Edit: Also if I get the physical copy, which book should I buy? The movie tie-in cover or the regular cover? Thanks in advance! I simply can’t decide.)

Feel free to inbox or message me about this topic as well if you don’t want to write it out on the actual post. :)

Who do you think you are? S1E1 Ghosts rewatch - random thoughts 1. I’ve spent far too long studying the “family tree” from the solicitor’s and I can’t reach any conclusions... I’m going to assume it was just a prop and not actually planned out (however, if anyone does want an extensive discussion I can bullet point my thoughts) 2. Why is Heather Button alone? Sure, she may not have any living relatives, but she needs a wheelchair, and the bedroom is an upstairs one (the one the Captain takes over). 3. Why is Humphrey’s body so clumsy? Dropping his own head seems unlikely... and no-one seems to have caused it. 4. Does each ghost have a “private room” for the night? That means there’s at least 9 in the house, 8 for each ghost - and one for the Captain to move to. 5. When Thomas starts his poem (in, I believe, trochaic octameter), Fanny and the Captain are the first to leave. Kitty, after trying an encouraging smile, and Pat are the last to leave. 6. Robin plays chess with Julian so presumably Julian has to move all the pieces - so he does in fact move more than cups at the beginning (unless he means pushing things onto the floor). 7. Pat trying to remain encouraging but his voice quivers when he says “give us something to look forward to”... 8. What was the AOB for Robin and Julian? 9. Poor old Thomas - he could easily go somewhere private to do his work, but when Julian attacks him, Kitty is straight up to defend him. 10. Why do we never hear the grandmother clock chime again? I can’t imagine that Alison and Mike were happy with the clock never being right, but maybe the ghosts explained it, and Fanny continues to fall out the window every morning. 11. Alison and Mike obviously love a sing-song (in the car), so why does he randomly make an awful song when they enter the cellar? [”don’t be scared”] 12. When Fanny attempts to explain the reason for her falling, none of the ghosts seem to want to hear her explanation - which is the opposite of their interest in Mary’s witch trial. 13. WowAH 14. Before the idea of turning the house into a hotel, only Julian and Fanny seem against them. Afterwards, Robin, Julian, Mary and Thomas (only if they become ghosts and are stuck with them) are for “killing them”; Fanny (”immoral”), Kitty (”wrong”), the Captain (”stuck with them”) and Pat against. 15. However, they’re all happy to try haunting them away. 16. Mike vs Pigeon part 1 17. Jemima - lives in the pantry (and not in the cellar with the other plague ghosts?). Captain, “... your skills... huhah...” 18, Humphrey’s head has moved from the bedroom. Who is moving him? Is he moving himself around? 19. The plague ghosts show that all the ghosts can learn about the modern world just by being around and picking up words and observing 19. Am I the only one who doesn’t believe that Julian tips Alison over through the window? It’s completely possible to overbalance - she lifts both feet off the floor. 20. Answer the question, DAMN YOUR EYES! 21. So, all the ghosts (at the time), watched the manwich going on - do they like to follow the living as a general rule... or was it the activity they were interested in? Or were they nosey about the secretive nature of the meeting? 22. So, has Kitty been keeping an eye out of the window since the accident? I think so. 23. During her stay in hospital, the ghosts would have seen the surveyor, surely? And possibly the workmen if they came to quote and look at the house at some point... 24. Alison noting that Julian wasn’t wearing a hard hat, but didn’t see the lack of trousers... 25. Great final shot of the ghosts coming through the walls, and Humphrey turning up too.
