Frank Herbert Loved Cocaine More

DENIS VILLENEUVE: Dune is a work about the cost of power, about messiahs, about empire. Of course we cannot consult Frank Herbert today, but I believe he would have approved. FRANK HERBERT (60 years ago): God I love cocaine. The only thing I love more is the boundless light of Islam

A fake exchange contrasts Denis Villeneuve’s serious interpretation of Dune with an imagined quote from Frank Herbert enthusiastically praising cocaine and Islam. The joke uses anachronistic absurdity to mock overly solemn literary or film commentary, making it useful as a reaction to pretentious analysis or unexpected hypocrisy.
