Ha! Im going to call you ostrich boy from now on. Just stick your head in the sand and ignore what is going on around you.
No, it's exactly what I said, ten different times in ten different ways in a futile attempt to offer you perspective. Obviously you'll have none of that and it's all about "I'm right, you're wrong." So how is it hanging on KJA's every word? Didn't you say something about never trusting anything the HLP says?
As for the rest, the debate is pointless. If the new Dune film sucks hard, the dreaded fanboy nightmare "Norma" is uttered and all the worst OH predictions of doom come to pass, you'll go to your grave screaming curses at KJA/BH as public enemy number one.
Meanwhile, the real reasons why the new Dune film will fail is...
Because Paramount exploited the environmental subtext of Dune for a buck at the expense of everything else...
Because Paramount assigned to Dune a studio yes-man director with no real talent, knowledge or passion for the project...
Because Misher doesn't know the first thing about adapting a multi-layered story like Dune to film and won't even try...
Because the script chosen for the project (critically important but totally ignored thus far!) is written by McG hacks...
Because, because, because...
And at the very bottom of the list, because someone took KJA's advice and decided "Norma" would be a good script change.
But by all means, blame me for being ignorant of the real reasons why the Dune movie will suck. Because you know, "Norma" is gonna make or break this entire film. I can already hear the Lucas-esque cries of "KJA raped my childhood!"

They must have balls the size of church bells.
