GIVEAWAY: advance screening passes for DUNE (Philadelphia, PA)

Here’s a confession, I was eleven-years-old when the David Lynch directed “Dune” (1984) was released. I didn’t see the original in theaters, but when released on cable I watched it multiple times. Honestly, it wasn’t my favorite story and I haven’t watched again in decades, but I loved the grandeur of it all – and it had Sting!

But I’m hearing this new version, directed by Denis Villeneuve, is fantastic – especially on the big screen – so I’m excited to giveaway tickets for the Philly premiere happening October 18 in Center City.

To put your name in the hat to win one of 15 admit-two passes, you must be an active email subscriber/receive newsletter and send an email to contests@musicmoviesthoughts.com with the subject line “Dune” and your full name in the body. Winners will be selected at random and notified on Saturday, October 16.

DUNE opens in theaters and streams on HBO Max October 22.

Good luck! Thomasena
