Ah yes, The popcorn bucket. The bucket for popcorn. The bucket specifically designed to be filled with popcorn. The popcorn bucket.

I think they could have done something that didn't look like a Fleshlight though. This one doesn't even look like a sand worm.. it's barely a passable Sarlacc.

they knew, from the start

If I was slinging popcorn in that fuck bucket, I’d be thinking twice before asking “Would you like extra butter?”

Yes please ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Exactly. Memes are free advertisements for them and will be reposted forever everywhere.

Might be possible. I wasn't going to see Dune and never bought popcorn at the movies. But I am going to now. Yes, I am lonely.

What a waste of plastic for something that's just getting tossed at the end of the movie.

Yeah, this is the kind of needless shit that has got to stop. That plastic is going to outlast all of us.

Don't worry, the bacterial grey goo will consume all the plastic except for the deepest buried and we will only be able to remember the petroleum polymers that was killing us as we sip from glass bottles.

It’s fine, the concession stand switched to paper straws. It’ll be soggy and unusable before the trailers are over, but it makes up for the sins of the popcorn bucket.

The sand worms are so dry and dusty that water hurts them. Their valued waste is literal powder. Why do men want to put their dicks in this?

This is hilarious. I went on to curse several other people with this

Idk why but I always thought this was a Derrick Comedy vid. Kind of surprised now to realize it isn’t. If you like this and hadn’t heard of them, I recommend checking them out. Donald Glover (before Community) and his friends from the early days of YouTube. They had a hysterical movie too (Mystery Team).

If you ever meet a teenage boy you'll, unfortunately, understand

I must not fear, fear is the mind killer...

Don’t put your dick in that

Or maybe do put your dick in that.

let's get real though, what is the male anatomical girth diameter required in order to get any pleasure out of that sand bucket hole.

Not gonna happen

No!! Why you warn me :(

Frank Herbert must be rolling in his grave.

Have you read the books? He comes very close to endorsing incest, and he talks way too much about young teen sexual attraction and relationships.

A major plot point is a group of women who can so expertly perform sexual favors that they completely override the free will of men.

This is mild compared to what went on in his head.

That's certainly... one interpretation of the bene gesserit, they aren't the Companions from Firefly

I was thinking of the Honored Matres of the scattering, whom the bene gesserit despise largely because they rely on sexual manipulation rather than other forms of control and influence.

I probably should have specified that much of that is later in the series and not in the first book.

And that isn't a description of the companions from firefly either? They were high society and sex was only a small part of what they did. But more importantly...they really didn't do anything to override anyones free will?

Unless you mean yosafbridge? She had training but wasn't really a companion

A major plot point is a group of women who can so expertly perform sexual favors that they completely override the free will of men.

Said it before and say it again. Dune only makes sense if you remember that every character you see is a product of multiple generations of incest, religious zealots, and useless idle royality.

The entire power of the Bene Gesserits could be defeated with 40 cents set of ear plugs, or hiring gay guys, or straight women, or deaf people, or straight men on libido blockers, or asexuals, or stubborn people, or people who speak a different language...

Their power is using sexy voice. Some random teenager with a slingshot is more dangerous.

If they hadn't gotten rid of computers they wouldn't have needed spice

A windows computer simply cannot run for months without updates or rebooting! /s

to be fair that isnt looking so pleasurable to put your actual dick in
