Projectionist splices a penis into Dune 2

Is that a well-endowed sandworm in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Recently an unnamed Midwestern projectionist decided to add a spicy twist to Dune 2. Picture this: you're settling into your seat, limited-edition popcorn in hand, ready to be transported to the far-reaches of the Dune universe. The lights dim, the screen flickers to life, the story unfolds and... wait, is that...? Yes, it is! Amidst the sweeping vistas of Arrakis and the dramatic struggles of House Atreides, there’s a rather unexpected cameo popping up on screen.

During the 3rd act, as Paul Atreides fights Feyd-Rautha our unnamed projectionist is hard at work behind the scenes, seamlessly splicing in some, shall we say, unconventional visual effects. The result? As the fate of the universe hangs in the balance, a huge protruding penis fills the screen.

What would your reaction be as a moviegoer?

Well, in this small unnamed Midwestern town "Dune 2" became the hottest ticket around, drawing crowds eager to witness the infamous “Dune 2: Spice & Spliced” for themselves.

Of course, not everyone was thrilled with the penis incident. The studio executives are still scrambling to contain the PR disaster. But try as they might, they can't seem to catch the unnamed projectionist in the act, leaving him free to continue his reign of projectionist tomfoolery.

In the end, what started as a simple prank became a testament to the power of perversion and the unpredictable nature of the movie going experience. So the next time you find yourself journeying to the sands of Arrakis, keep an eye out for any suspiciously placed sandworms... you never know what kind of movie magic your projectionist might be conjuring!
