  • Yes, that was indeed an interesting read. If I'm not mistaken, I've read something like this from P&W themselves regarding SP, when they commented on how they were brought back in at 11th hour to fix things and had to work with set pieces that h…

  • We may have write Villeneuve off for B26 too, if timing intrudes once more. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/03/09/denis-villeneuve-wants-2-dune-movies/
  • GF vs DAF (a lot closer than it probably is for others though) TSWLM vs YOLT (total wipeout. I much prefer Gilbert's 2nd kick at the can)
