no great answer. they have had speed of light travel for awhile, safe speed of light travel is something spice provides with navigators. later in the books it's not just speed of light travel, it becomes space folding, so whatever. best not to think of it.

not weird, sometimes you just want something that works in the background. no step 1, step 2 etc.

wonder how many scientists at other companies had to endure accusations of being incompetent due to Theranos' claims. "these people can do it, why can't you."

i like what WIndows does in some places and what the MacOs does in some places. and that's just on my non retina display.

i have a lot of Apple products, this will never be one of them.

Google wants to prop up Android or Google Phones with this ? Samsung and others takes are what with the news?

Twinzies. Seemed expensive at the time but turns out it was a deal.

answered previously but i love talking Dune. they didn't want to do space kung-fu which the book does. and keep in mind the book spends one second talking about this and is never brought up again. because in Dune, the sci-fi stuff is unimportant, it's just there to give flavor to Herbert's...

They were always apps on the Mac. Because the App Store became popular other people became accustomed to Mac parlance. When Windows started up they went with “programs” instead for their nomenclature.

right, so it's not about the vaccine. it's trying to appeal to a certain demographic for whatever reason. probably trying to raise funds in the name of a fight.

if i remember correctly Ebert was of the opinion the info dumps/exposition of the film was too much work for him to get into the movie. i can see a person coming to that conclusion, but for my 14 year old self i wanted more. tell me about everything going on in this universe. if you buy in...

Whoa. This is wrong, navigators do indeed fold space. Space folding is brought up in the last 3 books as how the guild operates. I’d like to point out Frank Herbert worked on the original script for the movie as well. In the first Dune book Herbert talked about speed light travel then changed...

Not really an insult, Footloose is also a great movie.

Yeah it’s all there, the movie is certainly not lacking in exposition, there are TONS of exposition explaining everything.

Was able to see Dune 2021 at NYFF, preferred the ‘84 version. There was just so much filler, cutting out some things I wanted to see for things I felt were unnecessary. Felt if he borrowed some ideas from Lynch’s he could have made a better product. Mentat lore is absent from the film, unless...

They didn’t want to do space kung-fu. All that needs to happen is for the ousted Atredies to provide some value for the Fremen. Modules or kung-fu doesn’t matter. Considering action of the time period modules were probably a better choice. And as always in Dune, the sci-fi mumbo jumbo does not...

Why does it need continuity? I don’t get the problem but maybe for milking money out of a franchise. Never needed continuity in graphic novels don’t know why I need them in film.

These dermatologists seem superficial…

Any laymen using the word “psychopath” or otherwise is likely name calling a behavior they find awful. I wouldn’t take it as a diagnosis.

thanks. was conflating the two.
