Dune was everything I wanted it to be. It has also made me feel sad.
I’ve viewed Dune twice now, the second occasion in IMAX. It was an amazing experience. I got the perfect seat as well. Row H, seat 15 – right dead centre of the theatre. I was at perfect eye level to catch every mesmerizing shot as Hans Zimmer’s booming score reverberated around the theatre and vibrated through the floor.

How 'Game of Thrones' Helped Me Beat My Anxiety
I still remember it like it was yesterday. Season 1, episode 9. Title: Baelor. I was already hooked on Game of Thrones at this point and was recommending it to all my friends, but I got all the usual responses that a then niche TV fantasy drama was receiving in 2011 from, “Dragons? Ice zombies? Nah mate, not for me!” to “Naw, I’m not watching that gay fantasy stuff!” It reminded me how disconnected I still was from a wider network of friends. Yeah, I like all the usual stuff a British lad is supposed to like: football, rugby, boxing, boozing on the weekends etc. But my real passions are the geek interests: comic books, professional wrestling, sci fi novels etc. It’s not that my mates didn’t respect me for having an interest in these things, they just weren’t interested and would appreciate if I didn’t bore them with it. But then with shock and awe I watched Ned Stark (brilliantly played by Sean Bean) have his head removed for being stupid enough to be the most honourable man in Westeros.
