Uh you know that Dune is 40 years older than GoT right? And Hebert is explicit about the use of Middle Eastern culture because the whole spice thing is a metaphor for oil right?

ok, I'm trying to make the other guy not be intimidated.

Meh? I know it's from the 50s, IDK when GOT was made, and I don't care. I'm trying to put a comparison to something else. Nightmare Before Christmas was made after both the GOT books and Dune too, but it still serves to explain what the film is like to me.
