“I have a story for you. You might kill me.”
These are words no writer wants to hear from their editor, and yet on Thursday at 3:04 p.m. they came ringing in my ear like a death knell.
“So there’s a screening of ‘Dune: Part Two’ at 3:15 in the morning,” he said. I see where this is going. “Wouldn’t it be fun if you went?”
That’s when the dread set in. Not because I had just agreed to pull an all-nighter on the planet Arrakis but because that meant I had to spend the rest of my afternoon watching the first “Dune,” which, for whatever reason, I managed to avoid in the two and a half years since its release. I went home and got to work.
I thought about how I would approach this cruel assignment. Should I force myself to sleep at 9 p.
