“Dreams are messages from the deep.” Before we get to Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, giant alien sandworms, a brooding Oscar Isaac in full-on space zaddy mode, trip-inducing sand dunes, mystical mind-control tricks, or any of the other hallmarks of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic sci-fi novel Dune—before we get to the production company […]

I guess everyone can stop protesting and take down those black squares now. (Also, uh, you might want to rethink those anyway?) As widespread protests against […]
