A viral video is making the rounds on social media of a 'Dune' cosplayer riding around the lobby of an AMC movie theater on their homemade sandworm during opening weekend of 'Dune: Part Two.'

The hotly anticipated blockbuster Dune: Part Two has arrived at last, and to say fans are hyped would be an understatement—especially one fan in particular.

A viral video shows a fan riding their homemade sandworm through the lobby of an AMC movie theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over the opening weekend of the movie, and it has taken the internet by storm to say the least.


TikToker Josh Gammon caught the moment the fan, in a full Dune: Part Two costume, came zooming through the lobby on what appears to be a homemade motorized sandworm,.

The cosplayer faithfully recreated the look of actor Timothée Chalamet's character Paul Atreides, and according to ScreenRant, even gets the sandworm-riding technique correct, whizzing by while controlling the sandworm with two hooks.

The sandworms are terrifying in the first Dune film, but in the second Chalamet's character adopts the Fremen culture which views the monsters as allies. Paul's first sandworm ride is a rite of passage in the story, so it's a major moment in the film.

But mostly what resonated with the internet was the delightful silliness and absurdity of the fan zooming around on their makeshift monster.

The spectacle had many people feeling excited about the theater experience after the way the pandemic kind of quashed it for a year or two.








Others couldn't help but laugh at the fact that no one in the theater seemed to even register what was going on.


It's official: cinema is back and Nicole Kidman's AMC promos have officially been eclipsed!

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
