I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Honestly, I'm not ready to be in a Broadway audience yet but I love going to the movies.

Care to go into detail? His aesthetic has gone with big scenery a lot, I think this story will do well with that

The only anti movie theater people I know are anti movie theater during COVID-19 people. So I get it.

I haven't seen much on the new one, but what little I've seen looks too sterile and clean and not all that oppressive. It should feel weighed down by millenia of ceremony and religious mysticism and bureaucracy, with lots of baroque architecture and faded glory. Arrakis should look like a hellish place to live. I think Lynch nails it in the original. That's just me though.
