Probably The Most Accurate And Frightening…

…portrayal of Leto Atreides II on his royal cart that I’ve ever seen.

This is what I would expect of Denis Villeneuve if he ever got around to filming God Emperor of Dune; sadly, that’s something I think will never happen for a variety of reasons. Firstly, he would have to film Children of Dune—another book requiring two films to fully flesh out—and perhaps more importantly, God Emperor is an especially dense (as it concentrated and convoluted) story. It took me several tries to initially get through it, and when I finally did, I was left hating it. Now, of course, my opinion is completely reversed, and I think it’s one of the best in the series, but I will readily admit finding a moviegoing audience who would appreciate it enough to justify a film would be difficult.

According to a New Book…

According to a new book by Franklin Foer, Joe Biden isn’t just the president of the United States, he is the West’s father figure, whom foreign leaders call for advice and look to for assurance.

Foer writes: “It was his calming presence and his strategic clarity that helped lead the alliance to such an aggressive stance, which stymied authoritarianism on its front lines. He was a man for his age.”

Yes, folks, President Biden is old. But he is also WISE and DECENT. Our allies see that and they value it.
