In case anyone is disappointed with the new Dune movie they can watch a fan edit of the 1984 movie converted to 4K right here on YouTube!

Dune is fantastic character development but a bit short on technological believably. You just have to bite it an assume some sort of tech exists that really doesn’t make sense.

Some of Herbert’s other works are really good and don’t have this problem.

Anomaly UK commented,”…Yes, Herbert’s big-picture vision has a lot of value, even though the details are often unconvincing.

Other “sword-and-sorcery SF”…”

Yes that sums it up nicely “sword-and-sorcery SF”.

I’ve, possibly, seen the Dune movie, downloading it on I2P.

I would say the movie is the same. Excellent but you have to keep the same “sword-and-sorcery SF” attitude.

There are not many novels that I go back and re-read. Dune is on the list.

Tabr actually is tabor, from Polish tabór, from Czech tabor (popularised during Hussite wars), from Hungarian tabor, probably from…Turkish (obviously, Muslim) tabur — meaning not military camp per se, but camp made from military wagons.
