The long-awaited Dune 2 hit theaters this Friday, and folks had a lot to say, especially about the popcorn bucket. It's already being hailed as one of the best sequels of all time, which is a huge feat considering I haven't seen a good sequel since High School Musical 2. But audiences are clearly taken with Dune's potent mix of complex themes, well-executed storytelling, magnificent cinematography, Timothée Chalamet, and a huge worm. Worms are compelling creatures because due to their lack of face, we can't intuit what they're thinking or feeling, so they're purely menacing (especially if they're football fields long.) Remember that movie/book How to Eat Fried Worms? That might be a good companion film to Dune, or at least an antidote to all the drama.
But whether you're a true Dune-head and have already been to the theaters, or if you're a casual fan waiting to see it at home, these memes will entertain and inspire. Just as memes should.
