I hate that war correspondence and live-as-it-happened battle reporting has really changed up how it's portrayed in movies. While I loved the early seasons of the Galactica reboot - the "shaky cam" used in nearly every cgi shot, and more than a few live action shots, felt cliched the moment they started doing it.
But that might just be me. I get upset when I see lens-flare in sci-fi because THE CAMERA ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!!!! :D

I’ve never been able to get into Dune even though it’s got literally everything I love going on. Obviously a failure on my part rather than Frank Herbert’s.

I don’t know if you’ve seen Jodorowsky’s Dune, but it’s a terrific documentary and I highly recommend it.
