Movie people tell to believe that Frank Herbert’s science fiction masterpiece Dune is impossible to turn into a movie. They say the book is too long, too complicated, too weird and too grand to be adapted.
And yet, filmmakers like David Lynch and, most recently, Denis Villeneuve, continue to try.
Sarah wrote about how these filmmakers continue to face their fears in the hopes of seeing a path for TIME Magazine.

One of Sarah’s favourite professional wrestlers is ex-gymnast / Body Worlds exhibit-come-to-life, Tetsuya Endo.
Endo enjoys flopping around dramatically during his matches, working out a lot, eating a slurry of chicken almond soup every day, and, probably most of all, wearing very little clothing.
And so it was with great enthusiasm that Sarah wrote about Endo’s recent photo book, Tetsuya In The Naked, where, like the title suggests, he is frequently naked.

Dune, the books, the movies, the world-building masterpiece created by author Frank Herbert, has long been an obsession for the Risky Fuel household.

Sarah wrote about this utterly bizarre piece of merchandise for the science fiction site, The Companion.
