My Dune Notes: A Stream of Consciousness Take on ‘Dune: Part Two’

A trick of the trade for entertainment journalists is to take notes when we go to a movie. Shocking, I know! Sometimes, they’re pretty straightforward notes so you know what to pull from when writing future articles. And then there are movies like Dune: Part Two, where you end up taking pages of unhinged notes with no discernible meaning.

Now, you’d think that I would write eloquent notes and wax poetic about Villeneuve’s masterpiece. But the reality is that I just wrote absolute nonsense to express how I felt when I was watching the movie. Instead of letting them live in my notebook, never to see the light of day, I decided to write all of my notes out for you people to enjoy/decipher.

Filled with quotes, real notes, and just my baffling thoughts, here’s a play-by-play of the film as I saw it. So, let us embark on the journey of Dune: Part Two but through my mix of notes.
