Daniel and Marty.

To Brian Herbert's credit they showed up in the last book Frank Herbert wrote but he didn't explain much about who they actually were. I think "these are the lead thinking machines from the past" was in Frank Herbert's notes. Granted Brian Herbert might have been lying about that one and made up his own bullshit to go on.

I thought they were supposed to be an advanced version of Face Dancers that had subsumed countless identities and become godlike.

Yeah it's getting into weird sex tones that sounded understandable from a weird space worm but not as much from 'regular' people. Also lol at Waff being on Rakis literally listening in himself to a secret conversation.

Authors sticking sex-weird poo poo where it isn't necessary is what keeps me from really enjoying Heinlein. Parents have a duty to sexually train their children, forsooth.

It's funny how both the Lynch adaptation and the 2000s SyFy miniseries are painfully bad in their own ways. While we all know the Lynch movie is a poorly-edited mess with too much head dialogue and some completely whack creative decisions, the miniseries just reeks of early-2000s TV-budget cornball: primitive CG, subpar acting and obviously-incomplete sets. I'm rewatching it now and I already want to turn it off ten minutes in.

I've got high hopes for the Villeneuve film(s), though - especially given a lot of the visuals in Blade Runner 2048 and Arrival. I trust that you nerds will keep me up-to-date on casting and other pre-production developments.

IMDB trivia page: the movie Limitless came into existence initially as a joke by director Neil Burger; what if Bradley Cooper was addicted to spice and turned into a licensed Guild Navigator.

Mustard gas gets the Landsraad mad at you if you're not super careful with it. And dune buggies are worm food.

I don't know how fast 6 centimeters a second is in normal person measurements of velocity (how slow you have to go to get through a shield) but I think it's probably less than a dune buggy moves.

During the fight with Gurney, Paul notes the air in the sheild is getting stale. 6m/s is way less than the speed of molecular convection in a gas.

FYI Brian herbert and Kja are producers on the dune film

So it's gonna be a poo poo star wars style moneymaker, which is evident because that's the only way it'd get funding

being a producer doesn't always mean anything.

if they're smart they'll just let villeneuve make his dumb passion project version of dune and NOT pull some stupid loving nonsense
