-** Dune: Part 1
-I'd like to call myself a Dune fan, but I am not.
-I have finished my Dune adventure on /Heretics/ and only now am I planning to finish the saga[fn:witcher]
-Though, I think this still puts me well above most people calling themselves fans now.
-
-/Dune: Part 1/ is the second movie based on the 1956 Frank Herbert's classic SciFi epic.
-Well, it is not.
-It is the third attempt to show the first half of the book.
-There was the David Lynch verion (which I adore) and there was a TV Series.
-There were also games, but only one of those have any resemblance to the plot of the book.
-So yeah, Dune was considered impossible to transfer to any other medium.
-Sadly, I have to agree.
-
-I think everybody (and their dogs) know what /Dune/ is about but:
-/Dune/ is a story of distant future, where all powerful houses.
-The technological progress was halted thousands of years ago, after a sentient AI raged a war against humanity.
-Arrakis (aka Dune) as a sand planet, the only known source of /Spice/ - a narcotic allowing humans to traverse time, and therefore spaceflight.
-Spaceships are operated by mutated humans, who after exposure to Spice can see into the future and steer the ships.
-Now, the Emperor order the control of the planet to be shifted to House of A eides.
-The previous stewards, House of Harknonen will not make it any easier.
-
-Ignoring the mutants, this sounds like a run-of-the-mill SF series.
-But /Dune/ It is also story of social engineering spanning millennia, of false prophets, and a million crazy things.
-The first book keeps it /almost/ sane, but there is a significant dictionary attached, and the first time reader will need to use it extensively.
-Later the saga goes completely off the rails.
-
-Note, that /Frank Herbert/ wrote only the first few books.
-After his death, his son - /Brian Herbet/ took over and wrote dozens of other ones.
-The quality differs significantly, as I've been told.
-I've read the /Houses/ trilogy, and it was quite nice.
-
-Now that we've got the introduction out of the way, let's go to the movie.
-Let me start with saying that I adore it.
-It's now what I'd want (as the young vloggers say "hear me out"), but at face value it's as close to perfect SF movies as they go.
-
-/Dune: Part 1/ is directed by Denis Vileneuve, who previously directed some of the greatest SF movies of this century - /Arrival/ and /Blade Runner 2049/.
-Hi other movies are also amazing (I can't recommend /Enemy/ enough), so I was pretty stoked when it was announced that he will direct /Dune/.
-I am no longer a movie buff[fn:critic], but he may very well be my favorite living director.
-
-Technically, I can not find any fault.
-The story makes sense (I'll return to Lynch in a second), which by itself is an achievement.
-The acting is superb, and works as a reminder that TV series are still not on the level of the greatest movies.
-The special effects are astounding[fn:ornitopter].
-The music is, for the most part, at least great.
-I hated the main theme with screaming lady.
-Music is supposed to work with the movie, not to hide it with loud noises!
-But that's the only thing I disliked.
-
-I loved the tempo of this movie, as I never enjoyed action-packed shoot fests of the /other franchise dominating cinema for decades/.
-Everything is slow - the actors speak slowly, the scene have time to breath, the camera is moving on a low gear.
-This adds an amazing dream-like feeling.
-Sometimes I felt like I'm watching a /Tarkovsky/ movie and not a big budget Hollywood blockbuster.
-
-And this the greatest and worst thing here.
-It's meditative.
-You fill like in a trance.
-You fully buy everything you see here.
-
-But the world of Dune is weird.
-It is full of things that make you go "huh?".
-It has mutants who traverse time, but it also got mutants who are computers.
-There are reanimated corpses, living furniture, hollow planets, vision quests.
-Denis omitted everything that was not essential to the plot, and what he left, he grounded in reality by omitting the /wtf/.
-There are not even the crazy names!
-
-This is where /Lynch/ version shines.
-It makes little sense, it is rushed - sure.
-But it conveys how twisted the world is.
-
-And this is why I don't think that this movie is a /great/ adaptation of Dune.
-It is a /great/ movie on its own.
-It perfectly adapts the adaptable and pretends that there is nothing else.
-It makes /Dune: Part 1/ the hit that it is, and it allowed us to get /Part 2/.
-But since making this move appeal to mass audience is not my problem, I'd like to see the full picture.
-
-But that's just me.
-As it stands, this is a groundbreaking movie which makes me want more.
-Not only more of /Dune/ but more of serious, intelligent SciFi movies.
-We had those and may get more!
-
-Highest recommendation from me.
-
-[fn:witcher] Right after finishing Witcher saga.
-[fn:critic] not to brag, but I was a semiprofessional film critic during college years.
-I had a press pass and all!
-[fn:ornitpter] Ornititopthers look just like in the /Dune/ game!
-This strangely works with how believable everything is.
-All flying ships have this strange physics, which I have hard time explaining.
-They are not like you X-Wings, but they fit the world.

+Recently, I have stumbled upon [[https://cyber.dabamos.de/index.html][The Cyber Vanguard]][fn:src], a very Web 1.0 inspired website.
+I am much more of a Web 1.0 guy as I never fully got all that Web 2.0 /zeitgeist/.
+The last revolution here[fn:web] was a step in similar direction, but the hell with that.
+I am remodeling my index to be an index!
+
+And since we are on the subject, my near plans are:
+- continue [[https://michal.sapka.me/bsd/history/][Unix and BSD history]]
+- write about Xah Fly Keys (emacs) which I am using now
+- write a tutorial on hosting a website in OpenBSD. I already have something like this here, but I don't like it very much.
+- write about ox-hugo (which is how I author this site).
+- continue writing reviews under the sexy name /brain rots/.
+
+But having site in constant renovation has one downside: I break RSS.
+Since I move files around, and since Hugo treats the permalink as unique ID, after every move, RSS readers treat the item as new site.
+I will be changing the ID to be the timestamp of post publish date (I write so rarely, that there is 0 chance of overlap), so I can move the files how much I want.
+But this will change IDs of all existing pages, so your reader may treat everything here as new.
+Sorry!
+And btw, I have a [[https://ko-fi.com/mmspl][ko-fi]] now if you want to, you know, buy me a coffee.
