@sandwichfest.bsky.social I remember receiving consoles with cockroaches as trade-ins when I worked at EB Games 🤢. We also received a lot of trades that were saturated with cigarette smoke/tar residue.

I know I'm going to like this film, but I'm worried it won't land with general audiences. Anyone who's read Dune Messiah knows the tone of the story is WAY different than the first book and will be jarring for people looking for a "The Continued Adventures of Paul Atreides" type story.

To those surprised that Lindsey Graham, a Baptist, would make fun of the Catholic faith, let me be clear: southern evangelicals don't see Catholics as Christian unless it's politically advantageous for them.
