Why not? It is a source of money.

The US is retreating from EVs, but I don’t think that’s the case for Europe and Canada. For them the problem is China is making EVs that are cheaper and possibly more advanced. Europe and Canada should encourage the best engineering students worldwide to study there hoping they will stay and keep Europe and Canada competitive in EVs. If China’s EVs simply are cheaper Europe should impose tariffs unless China buys European and Canadian products to prevent a huge deficit. China sending students and tourists would help in reducing any deficit.

Climate and energy affordability should be part of Democrats platform, but the economy will always be the top issue.

Trump thought that under massive bombing Iran would surrender. He also thought Iranians would start massive protests against the regime. He envisioned the US involved in producing Iranian oil and making a profit, similar to Venezuela. The problem is Iran is far from the US and Russia and China can exert greater influence.

This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.

Researchers might leave the US for other countries which will result in the US falling behind other countries in science and technology.

Democrats should recruit Joe Kent to their party.

I think hybrids are better because there is no reliance on an external electric source.

The US should normalize relations with Cuba. Cuba is a communist country, but the country isn’t plagued by gangs and the people aren’t starving.

The reason is that the movies nominated for best picture weren’t popular. Avatar: Fire and Ash, Jurassic World: Rebirth, and F1: The Movie weren’t nominated. Last year, two popular movies were nominated, Dune: Part 2 and Wicked.

But the movie should have his love for Chani and his children overcome a desire for power.

Sad art. Perhaps the artists are sad, and they want the audience to feel their sadness. If an artist is happy, wouldn’t he want others to feel that joy?

Quite true but I prefer that the story be about the romance between Paul, a person who doesn’t want to be a leader but has to in order to avenge his family and free the Fremen and Chani, the girl of his dreams who initially doesn’t like him but begins to love him when she sees his courage. Instead of Paul becoming evil, the story should revolve around Paul and his love for Chani. The end of the story should be Arrakis belonging to the Fremen and the rains returning. The rains could have stopped because invaders changed the weather in order to mine the spice.

She opposed him leading the Fremen to war against other houses. She wanted him to just free Arrakis.

Is the problem really just seeking funds? The article said that Horner sent an email thanking Jeffrey and the girls. The problem is desire for sex outside of marriage.

I read that Frank Herbert wrote Messiah to counter the impression that Paul was a hero. He wanted to show what happens when people fanatically follow someone. But there is already an example in Adolf Hitler. Messiah was not as popular as Dune perhaps because it’s dark. The purpose of a movie is to make money, not to strictly follow a book. Most of the audience for Dune Part 3 will have never read Dune or Messiah. We will have to see how well Dune Part 3 performs against other 2026 movies. It will have a lot of competition, Avengers: Doomsday, Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day to name a few.

It’s foolish for Israel to encourage Iranians to revolt knowing that they would be slaughtered. In light of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, Israel should know better. In the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the Jews had no choice since they would be exterminated anyway but Iranians are not facing the gas chambers.

Iran is not as strong as Russia. But rejecting Trump will incur his wrath. If Europe has the same goal as Trump, why not send a several ships to appease him? A better explanation is that Europe doesn’t share Trump’s views on Iran.

People already have a lesson from following personality cults in Adolf Hitler. No, life isn’t all happiness. That’s the reason movies should be an escape from unhappiness. Through Paul and Chani viewers can feel romantic love, a love which they perhaps do not have in real life.

But viewers knew that there would be a sequel to The Empire Strikes Back and the sequel, Return of the Jedi did have a happy ending. However, Dune Part 3 is the last of the trilogy. Note that the final Spider-Man trilogy, Spider-Man: No Way Home was sad. Why this love of dark endings?
