    Started reading "Dune", Man it is good.

    “Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”
    Difficult to get into at first. But it is really good.

    Just got through reading "Sandworm", about Russian hackers that referenced characters from "Dune".

    With all due respect I've always found Dune a little bit faggish . . .

                I was a lynch fan and loved dune the movie as I also remember what else there was to rent on beta or vhs.
                I was always encouraged to read the book by a friend I can't remember if I ever did.

                    There is a new Dune coming out this year (movie). But the original book is one of the best science fiction books ever written!

                    There are a ton of sequels and they get progressively worse so stick with the original Dune.

                      I started reading Dune after old tv series (the show was on air ten years ago or more) and couldn't stop until finished. But tbh it took a while :D

                          It's still in must "to read list". As a Soviet kid I was grown up in 80s basically on the US sci-fi, which was very popular in my country. I mean Clifford Simak, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Sheckley, Roger Zelazny and many others. These were the most published authors during the USSR era. We even had movies made by their novels.

                              A Soviet animation from the Cold War era. It's based on Ray Bradbury's novel:



                              Another one:



                              And yet another one (it does not need a translation):



                              Many Soviet kids like me grown up on the US sci-fi. We still known it as the golden age of fantastic. We had our own fantastic of course but it was hard to find the movies and books here. For example, this is one of the Quentin Tarantino's favorite movies:



                              It's fully in English, but the youtube copy does not look good. Maybe there is a better one. It was very popular in the States and Tarantino had no idea it was filmed in the evil Soviet Union. There are better versins but only with English subtitles. Perhaps something with copyrights...

                              And yes, Aquaman as a character was created in the Soviet Union

                                The frank herbert sequels are actually really interesting, they go in a totally different direction than you'd expect based on the first novel and can be hard to get into on the first read (I certainly couldn't get into them at first) but herbert's prose and the complexity of his ideas...it's incredible.

                                And even though they're not what you'd expect they make sense in context. He wanted to subvert the "hero" archetype and argue how dangerous it is for humanity to rely on any kind of centralized messiah or god-type figure. In retrospect it doesn't seem like that was his original intention when writing Dune, but its pretty damn interesting nonetheless. Its the work of a genius.

                                Don't fuck with anything written by his son Brian Herbert. Cash-grab bullshit that reads like young-adult fiction.

                                      Because we lived in two fascist countries. Yes, I said it clear: the Soviet Union (now Russia) and the USA are police and fascist states. Both countries think they are special ones and they are blessed by God for a super-duper mission. Fuckin' crazy idiots...

                                        The soviet sci-fi movie that was re-made in Hollywood in 2002 and it was a total shit. This is the original movie fully in English (I have no idea where you can find he 2n part however... maybe on torrents):



                                        As I said above, the American copy was not good at all. The old Soviet movie was like digging you brain. It really was there - inside your mind. That's something you really have to see. It has no happy ending, BTW like the US version. However you have to watch it.

                                        It's a story about a planet which sends you the people of your most saddest and scary memories. And all of them are physically real - they are not imaginary (they are real people of flesh with real memory from your past) The guy have to see the death of his lovey woman again and again and again, because in his life she has committed a suicide.
