Ok i am going to say this.

Dune is one of the greatest Sci fi movies ever made. In my humble opinion.

It bombed coz it was not quite Disney for mainstream audience's.

I liked the darkness of lynch.

It's a film I can watch over and over.

Atomics!

Yeah but with the rising of people like Geek Girls, suicide girls, etc, it's now fashionable to be a geek.

Even though some girls think that putting 3d specs on without the lenses is "geeky"

I have always worn chunky glasses. If I have to wear them I don't see the point in not making them NHS style old school thick framed ones. Although I have been asked to wear them instead of my contact lenses on a few meets so maybe geeky is now sexy.

That might be a good idea. We were discussing a social around the time of the next comicon in Birmingham maybe this idea could be thrown in too?

I was wearing them long before hipsters appropriated them. I refuse to change them since I'm contrary like that (plus I actually like being able to see).

The whole point of being a geek is that you wear what is functional and necessary. Wearing glasses just to get the geek look is not geeky

Sadly not, but it was still nice. I'd really love the Harry Potter cake though, it's amazing.

I went to Hogwarts last Friday as an early birthday treat, it was brilliant. I got to open the doors into the great hall

It's such an underrated film and still gets slagged off.

But it is a great film.far better than the Crap children of Dune tv series.
