You know, years ago, I used to really like Neil before he adopted this "Well, ackchually..." shtick over scientific inaccuracies in works of fiction. I find him absolutely insufferable now. It's the same kind of brainworms as CinemaSins.

I don’t he gets the movie really isn’t about “science”. It’s about philosophy, politics, religion, etc.

Seems to be a case of the ole " I can't see the forest, all these trees are in the fucking way!".

Which is kinda funny considering the books had a lot to do with ecology.

If you ever never seen the dunes of Florence, Oregon. It’s pretty cool. That’s where the dune idea came from. I’ve heard there are some ties to Salem since he lived there but I have not figured those out
