    Poll: Dune Part 2

    My son and I watched Dune 1 in the theaters and both really enjoyed it. Unless you have a fantastic TV/audio system, I think it is much better in theaters. I re-watched it last night on Netflix to reacquaint myself with the plot and my son and I will see it in the theaters this week.

    Appreciate all the responses. Portfolio is about $1.3M and does not kick off enough dividends to fund the extra expenses of about $30K/yr.
