They deviated from the book quite a bit towards the end and compressed the timeline too, there are actually 3 years or so from the Harkonnen attack to the end of the film. Chani has a son that dies in a sietch attack, and she understands that Paul has to take the Emperor's daughter as his wife, but that she'll be his concubine and his 'true love'. Jessica has her daughter, Alia, who is born with all the capabilities of a Bene Gesserit mother superior and is considered an abomination. Alia- barely 2 years old- kills the baron, her grandfather. The Emperor chooses Feyd as his champion, hence the fight to the death. No idea why they chose to have Chani act like a jilted spoiled brat and take off on her own, that's completely against her character- I hope they're not setting her up as a girl boss for the next film, that'd be really shit. Also, Paul is supposed to be 15 at the start of Dune, and I think about 18 by the end, so Chalomet was a pretty good choice. Certainly more so than Kyle MacLachan in the 1984 version, who was far too old.

 

The next one will be Dune Messiah, about a decade later, where Paul realises just how terrible the jihad he's started has become and has to fight against an alliance ranged against him.

Also, in the book Paul dispatched with Feyd very very easily. As you said the biggest deviation was Chani sulking off when actually she totally understood the score. Irulan was set-up to have a life devoid of love.

Gomez has the best facial hair in the whole squad, proper Superfly job going on there.

Its not so much the facial hair, which admittedly is pristine. More the consistency of said growth coinciding with his permanent goal drought. The anti-delilah mayhaps.

We've got quite a few with terrible facial hair. 

Indeed we have. For roughly 117 games now I've posited the theory that as soon as young Master Gomez rids himself of that bumfluff the net is getting burst asunder.

Nunez can go from the sublime to the ridiculous with the same touch of the ball. Sublimely ace, sublimely frustrating, ridiculously good, ridiculously ridiculous. I think he's boss and he's not even peak Noonyezz yet. Shite tache tho, so hopefully we can sell at a loss sooner rather than 100 goals later.

I think star wars just needs some kind of talented showrunner. There's different people running each project all with their own takes. That's why the quality varies so widely IMO. Put Favreau over the motherfucker.

They put Feige over it couple of weeks ago didnt they.

We must make that rather soft decision count.

I think that's just from films and has no historical basis. I could be wrong there. 

You is absolutely correct as far as i know. Unless The Omen is indeed based on historical fact, wouldnt that be something.

4 red cards already this season. 5 in the previous 5 full seasons. All above board. Nothing to see here. 

I think we are actually near the bottom of the fair play league. Says it all.

If Salah stays and slows down, I think he'd be a world class No 10

If Salah stays I can see him potentially scoring more goals .

My word that was heartbreaking. To love is to love. To hate is to cease.

Gravenberch apparently absent from Bayern training today. 

Private flight being tracked to Blackpool according to some site or other. Due to land 14:08.

All this talk of extending VVD suspension because of his dissent after the ridiculous red. Dissent, the punishment for which is a yellow. But yeah add another 3 games to the suspension.

Still cant wrap my head around the red. In what world was that a clear goal scoring opportunity. If that's the bar for clear goal scoring opportunity (and the rule is applied consistently, as if) then we can look forward to playing against <11 every week when 1 of our boys invariably gets hacked down in sight of goal.

How is it the point? Those rules only apply to fouls in the penalty box.

Methinks the point being agreement, ie not a red. But too much traffic in the meantime.

I’ll be a lot less pissed off if other similar tackles receive the same punishment. 
 

But they won’t. 

What Jennings said. VVD tackle will never be a red again,  nor will TAA discent or time wasting, never was Masch disrespect etc etc etc. They fucking hate us uppity bastards. 

Omfg I grew up watching football and loving LFC. I still love LFC but what the fuck happened to football. If thats a red then we are all better off watching bloody care bears.

We pretty much know that Mo likes to break a record or 3. I just wonder if maybe he see's Billy's total as out of reach and this somewhat makes pastures new more tempting.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Whilst it was good it was on, great that what he said was completely ignored with basically repeating "high inflation, means increase interest rates, so whilst bad what can you do ?"

Aren't we always taught to try different solutions for different problems. The drivers behind the current inflation crisis are atypical so how can anyone in their right mind let alone 'experts' truly believe that the typical solution will work. In short we are fucking well being had off. Greedy bastards rule the roost.

Neither.  My directions usually are:

 

"You need to head down that road that Barry used to live in, you know the one, his folks still live there.  Keep going and then turn right at the Tesco and head up to O'Neills pub.  Another couple'a hundred yards past that turn left and then just past the cemetery where Flaho's da is buried and it's on your right".

Dont ya always up in the same place then. I'll get me coat 

I went The Alchemist in town and what with the menu being like a periodic table I ordered by 'Chemical Element'.

That went well. Fortunately other boozers are available.

Quite enjoyed the final episode, but a poor series overall.

Can see they are setting up Series 4 to maybe replace the (cancelled) Rangers of The New Republic show.

Yeah IGN suggested as much.
