All I said in yesterday's riff about Indiewire‘s Anne Thompson putting Dune at the top of her Gold Derby slate of Best Picture contenders...all I said was that (a) I've been seriously dreading sitting through Denis Villeneueve's film for many months now, being no fan of dense, multi-part sci-fi sagas taking place in distant exotic realms and blah blah, and that (b) this prejudice coupled with a friend's dismissive reaction to Dune resulted in my not trusting Thompson's vote of approval, especially given the fact that (c) Thompson saw it at a lah-lah Warner Bros. lot screening augmented by wine, cheese and crackers.
