Has anyone else seen Dune 2? We went to the theater a couple of weeks ago.

I like the films but they skip so much that I considered essential in the novels.

Which is why I'm disappointed with the movie 100% of the time when compared to the book. The singular possible exception being the play Our Town because I found the movie ending to be less sad, but it was written as a play and not really a novel.

Mostly I agree, with exceptions. Blade Runner was much better than the source novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

That's a safe stance: no comment.

It was an honest stance. If it's dystopian then I'd probably not love it. I find it sad how many popular dystopian future shows/movies/books simply brush aside the food problem. The Hunger Games books were ok, first two movies were meh but didn't care for the Mockingjay installments. Those regional drawings showed miniscule populations - nowhere near enough people to be farming for the entire country.

The Hunger Games was just okay. For someone who's read as much science fiction as I have, it was an often mined theme that offered nothing original.

The Hunger Games were not enjoyable. I had to kill so many people.
That's known as culling the herd.
