Somewhere, deep in the Arrakeen deserts, a thumper begins it's rhythmic beating.
Dune reference spotted.

That movie had an interesting premise, and a great video game series developed around it, but much like the book, was a little bit too long for me to make it all the way through it. I do remember that Sting was in it.
Read all of six of the Dune series books and enjoyed them immensely even though yes they were a bit long.
Can say they influenced my life a good bit and helped prepare me to become a Bitcoiner as I quickly saw the parallels of Paul Muad'Dib's Jihad against the entire galaxy in the books and our own holy war against bankers and the financial system.
Spoiler alert:
Paul wins just like Bitcoiners will.
Very good, Stil. Paul glanced at the reels in Korbas hands. Korba stood with them as though he wished he could drop them and flee. Statistics: at a conservative estimate, Ive killed sixty-one billion, sterilized ninety planets, completely demoralized five hundred others. Ive wiped out the followers of forty religions which had existed sinceIn the books a lot of bad things happened to Pauls opponents. In the Bitcoinlandia series its more about trolls being broke and butthurt, 18,000 Bankers losing their job in the blink of an eye, Warren Buffet crying etc. Our Jihad is much kinder and gentler. For now.....
Never had time to read any of Franks sons related books but they sound interesting.
Looking forward to the 2020 movie remake.
