Went into the film blind and had a really good time. I found it interesting enough that I went down the YouTube rabbit hole to learn more about the universe. I purchased the first three books today at a local book store so that I have something to read on my flight.

Here are my actual thoughts though:

There are certain times where it feels like Denis is making up for the shortcomings of BR2049, as the second half of the movie definitely picks up in a way that can best be described as "action time". BR had this problem where scenes would change and the story would progress but it did not feel tangible to the watcher, as in you were never really moved by what was happening for most of the movie. That said, I liked BR2049 and had no issue with the apathetic and slow story since that is the embodiment of K.

The Butlerian Jihad really should have been explained in the beginning black screen of the movie. I feel as though it is such an important event that literally changed the course of humanity.

Ironically, I feel as though the movie moved too quickly between events. I understand that there is a ton of material to cram into 2h45m but getting to Arrakis was very quick, as was the siege of Arrakeen.

Lastly, I really disliked the CGI as it had that same level of amateurish-ness that Black Panther had. Set design was beautiful but the CGI in motion-intense scenes was pretty bad. A slower pan of >>19357113 with a bit more work put into the city's design would fix this for me. But it isn't that big of a deal 2bh.

Ok, to clarify further. I don't mean that there isn't inherent worth to even the worst of art pieces. You can get something out of anything. You can read randomly generated books and listen to generated music, and still there is merit. However, there is a benefit to having stuff like reccs from /lit/ so as to more likely discover the most well made and vital art pieces. I'm just saying to set sail without a map is cool. But it isn't everybodies style. There is absolutely merit to venturing out into the wild open world of unknown art. But it's only expected there to be an excess of passable art pieces in that expanse. Narrowing it down to classics and reccs only takes you so far, yes. But, it's a better place to start with the greeks vs starting with a random book from the library, in most cases.

What books would help with bodily disgust? I know The Enneads by Plotinus talks about it. I think Nausea by Sartre talk about it, but I don't need help finding our bodies disgusting. How do I stop being grossed out by myself?
