They sell enough cars to not waste time dicking with you, they expect the salesmen to actually sell them all day.

I'm working on it! Supply chain is a bitch business to be in right now.
I swear I picked the worst time accepting a promotion in the semiconductor world, especially purchasing manager.
Our customers are the ones that build the machines that make the chips that go into everything... if I can't get them what they need, no chips.
We joke how we need computers to do our jobs to make chips, but we can't get computers because the lack of chips.

Yes. She woke up at 3:30 and can’t drink caffeine but she made me some and kissed me three times bam bam bam.
She’s got diverticulitis pretty bad I guess. She had tests and blood work done and blood said she had an infection so she’s on 2 antibiotics. Images weren’t done Friday evening.
I’m excited for you, I’ve never purchased a brand new car!

I'll give it a rough 7.5/10 for accuracy to the book. Anyone who's actually read this book knows that truly making it into a book accurate movie is a phenomenally stupid idea. That being said, wasn't too happy to find out this was Part1 at the beginning instead of in the marketing, wouldn't have changed my mind to watch it just felt it was a little deceptive. Which could be my fault because I only watched the one trailer and none of the other marketing.
The Good:
- As far as accuracy to the book, better than Lynch or Sci Fi (That being said I like both those movies and all the video games from the early 90's - mid 2000's)
- The ornithopters were finally right! That was something that's bothered me about both other attempts in the movies, the ornithopters were designed with no homage to the book.
- Visual Effects are spectacular.
The not so good:
- Accuracy to the book :: OMG the pacing is so slow, just like the book.
- Acting Feels a bit cardboard.
- I feel like they've forgotten about the spice and how it works on Arrakis (part2 may redeem this.)
- The navigators guild and the Emporor so far have had no appreciable introduction beyond the narration, they were both very present in the books by this point.
Best pun of the watching: "Well, we started out going to Dune to sell Spice and are now distracted by Mary-Jane and about to start a revolution." <Takes a hit of the bong>
