The Dune movie (split in two for profit as always) is an exception, but most of what Hollywood has been spewing out lately is utter crap. I'll wait for the Drinker's review.

Maybe profit was one reason for the split, but you saw what lynch did with Dune, trying to force all of that complexity and nuance into one film?

He won't like it, because

Set 10,000 years before the events of Dune, the series "follows sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen as they combat forces that threaten the future of humanity, and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit."
