I just finished reading Dune. I've heard bad things about the sequels, but I'm not sure which ones that applies to, or if it's all of them. So, what do you say? Should I read the sequels?

I am also watching V for Vendetta. Heaven.s

Dune Messiah (erg, posted wrong book title first time) is worth it, after that, not so much.

Hey, it's on TV! Everyone should enjoy the free terrorist violence.

(No worries, LJ's not sending me comment notifications, for some reason, so I haven't seen it.) That does seem to be the general opinion.

I haven't seen it since it got sick, so it's tripping me out.

I saw it in theaters, and then never again until tonight, so I'd forgotten how much I'd liked it.

Yeah. I was floored in the theater. But I grew up with that comic. The comic was how I came to come out to my friends, and the movie, my parents.

Wow, really? That an inspirational way to do it, though. I still haven't read the comic, though I know, I know I should, and I've read other comics by Moore.

Yeah, well pop culture owns my soul. But seriously, it's hard to pride yourself on not being a coward and watch that and still justify, if not cowardice, avoidance and complacancy.

True. It does feel a bit awkward to watch it while lounging around and eating, or playing on the internet, or whatever.

What surprises me most about it is that it still hits just has hard. I thought it was just a moment in political time, but it's turning into one damn unfortunately long moment.

Sadly, yes. It was strange and far too similar to turn from it to the Daily Show.
