Moved to the actual Dune book, separate edition instead of a separate book listing here on Bookrastinating :)

I'll make a quick note here that this is my first fully finished book of the year which is pretty cool. I'm hoping to complete a lot more books over my summer break.
This is a book that I'd also like to revisit in the future, as I think with more of the films watched and references in hand it would be able to provide a hell of a lot more insight. Maybe some day....

Baldwin makes some very good points on the connections between Hollywood and racism, and specifically the portrayal of African-Americans in cinema throughout the years. However, the book shows its age pretty clearly when one doesn't recognize more than half the referenced films, and the only ones recognized outside of "The Exorcist" were known after having discussed them in class. This book is a good read for film enjoyers, but a tough read to complete without Wikipedia constantly in hand trying to catch all the references.
