Baron: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy poo poo with us, you ride a worm out on the dunes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your rear end and pull the loving maker hooks 'til it goes "plop”. Gurney: Eight year olds, Duke.

It is kinda weird that they recast a few folks between the series but then re-used Karel Dobry from Liet Kynes to Korba. I thought that he did have a striking appearance that worked well for a near prophet/demagogue, I guess they did too?

Liquid Dinosaur posted:I really like how they did Edric's death in the mediocre TV show. Where he's in an acclimatized glass chamber in the Guild embassy, and they just smash it open with a hammer and leave him to flounder to death like a fish out of water...If i recall, the whole scene is done up like the assassination montage at the end of The Godfather. But unfortunately, I can't seem to find it on Youtube, so I might be misremembering things. If this works, here it is: https://youtu.be/hHy-OxoT7zU I was obsessed with both the mini-series in high school, have watched this far too many times.

Tangentially connected, Azam Ali sang that song (Inama Nushif). She also did an album based almost entirely off of the poetry of Rumi. 'The Hunt' is a really good one, whether you speak Persian or not.

I mean I've not read that far into Dune Messiah, but does the stone burners really burn Paul's eyes clean out of his sockets??? I'd have thought that they were just bright enough to permanently damage the cones and rods or whatever.

The stone burner had already happened by the point of that montage. For the burnt out eyes they just had the actor wear black contacts for the rest of the mini-series lol.

Hey thread, I’m rereading Messiah and is it just me or does this passage make no sensequote:”Idaho’s dead,” Irulan said. “Paul has mourned the loss often in my presence. He saw Idaho killed by my father’s Sardaukar.” Edric is talking here like Idaho was killed in the battle where Paul defeated Shaddam, but that isn’t right at all — he died like two or three years before, when Shaddam/Baron H destroyed Leto Sr. And Irulan has to know that if she’s heard the story from Paul himself. Does this ever come up again or was Herbert just smoking crack?

Still waiting for Lovely Feyd. And Liet. Any other major characters uncast? Also still holding out for Tom Holland for Feyd. If Zendaya has free time will Tom be able to make it? He might have other responsibilities in the MCU but Feyd doesn't have many scenes in the first half of the book.

Feyd doesn’t have many scenes full stop. 1) Baron and Piter explain the plot (“Lovely Feyd”) 2) arena fight when the Fenrings visit 3) failed assassination, the Baron makes him kill every hooker 4) the end, he talks a load of poo poo and gets shanked Also Paul is the twinky one. Feyd should be swole

My biggest thing against Tom Holland is that I've never seen him in a villainous role, I don't know how well he'd do with it. He is a good actor though. Also if he were cast as Feyd, he would have told everyone on twitter a long time ago. AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 17:35 on May 23, 2019 |

andrew smash posted:It was weird in the book anyway, the fremen are otherwise pretty egalitarian with regard to women, they fight and ride worms and all that poo poo too. The disturbing thing from a TYOOL 2019 view is why so many women, relatively speaking, are not able to go on the raiding parties. Oh well, not nearly as sexist as many authors of the time and Herbert actually develops his female characters as almost-formed humans so time-appropriate kudos for that. PS if Toto doesn't do the score I'm going to burn down the nearest theatre showing it. I will also accept Vangelis as there was a period in my life when I couldn't remember which did Dune and which did Blade Runner.

The Fremen are hyper pragmatist and communitarian, they don’t give a poo poo about equality in itself and their society explicitly operates by survival of the fittest, kill the boss to become the boss. The path for women to ascend in their society is a religious/ritual one (Sayyadina/Reverend Mother) not a fighting one. It doesn’t mean the women can’t fight, they’re expected to be able to, but it’s obvious that military/temporal leadership is a Guy Thing. The real weirdest sex thing in the Dune books (and oh boy there are many competitors) is why polygamy is unheard of and oh noes your true love can only ever be your concubine. Bullshit, these people are absolute aristos, they’re a law in themselves and barely believe in religion, who’s going to stop you marrying twice? The Space Pope?

No, the Landsraad will. Polygamy leads to succession crises, which leads to political instability, and reduces the effectiveness of political marriages, which lessens the power of the Great Houses.

Also it's probably in the Orange Catholic Bible, and the general morals laid down in there do seem to hold a fair bit of sway in terms of acceptable public behavior.

kiimo posted:Tom Holland would be a terrible Feyd. If we're stuck fan casting from the marvel universe, I'd pick Tom Hiddleston. He's way older than Chalamet, (and I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be roughly the same age) but he'd be good. Looking at people born in 1995 (gently caress I feel old) Stellan Skarsgard's son Valter would fit. I haven't seen him but 3 of his brothers are pretty loving great, as is his dad, so hopefully it's genetic. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1311373/ AFewBricksShy fucked around with this message at 19:23 on May 23, 2019 |

I liked James Watson's Idaho, but the last time I saw the miniseries was probably a decade ago and even then it didn't age well. Anyone else remember if he was good or bad?

I was talking to a friend about casting for the Fenrings and I wonder how they're gonna do the secret humming dialogue anyway my friend thought that the Dune movie would need special prosthetics people to make the Fenring's makeup and I was like, well, why? And he said to make their faces look like rats. He thought the "rat-faced" description meant they had literal faces of rats
