He’s still made of cells from the original Duncan Prime who got stabbed in the head by Sardukar in Dune 1, that the Bene Tlielax have been shaving bits off of for 3500 years. He’s still genetically that Duncan, minus some conditioning they put in that would make him brainwash-gently caress the first space nun he has sex with, hoping it would be a BG and not an HM. I thought they made him special with materiel from more than one Duncan and tweaked reflexes etc?

I remember the tweaked reflexes, which was why the BG were paranoid, because a 100% original model Duncan they can verify, but if they gently caress with the base genetics on something like reaction times, there’s no no way to know if the BTs put some other sneaky poo poo in there, and they’re the sketchiest motherfuckers in known space so of course they did. Were they really able to smuggle bits of other Duncan’s out from under Leto IIs nose?

How big a hit will the Villeneuve movie(s) have to be for Warner Bros to go ahead and do movies of the sequel books? Like seriously, even if Dune parts 1 & 2 are massive critical successes and box office smashes I'm sure when the execs finally get around to reading (the précis prepared for them by their assistants of) Dune Messiah and Children of Dune they'll be thinking "Wow, this gets seriously weird.... maybe let's pass." It's hard to imagine even a really well done adaptation of the sequel books being a big success at the box office, even if it is loved by critics, fans of the books and art film types.

Absolutely no chance unless this is a LotR-esque success and probably not even then. Messiah is more like a coda to Dune than its own story, Children is an intermittently filmable story about two nine-year-olds, and God Emperor is bonkers on almost every level. My current reread has convinced me that the only other book in the series which could actually be developed into a coherent movie without doing a total hatchet job on it is Heretics, by which point we’re fully into sex weirds territory. Not to mention it’s basically completely its own thing and you’ll have not the slightest idea what’s going on if you skip there straight from Dune.

Messiah will be a post credits scene after Dune part 2. CoD will be turned into a 4 movie dystopian young adult shlock with laza tigers behind every corner and despotic Alia making pro fascist screeds, while the Preacher works behind the scenes to topple the regime from within.

My one hope is that the actor they get to play "Lovely" Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (née Rabban) be so attractive that he makes straight men question their sexuality, akin to the Sting portrayal in the 1984 Lynch adaptation.

Done with Chapterhouse. Like Heretics, it wasn’t as bad as I remembered, but unlike Heretics, I don’t think it’s very good either. The Jews are really annoying caricatures (somehow I doubt they will be saying “oyy” in 15000 years) and way too much of the rest of the book is occupied by Duncan moping. Odrade and her cheerful attempts to outmaneuver the multiple orgasm empire and their cannibal cat people slaves every which way are the better part of the book and contains probably one of the more memorable scenes in the later series, namely Odrade having a subordinate rape a juvenile clone of her own dad to restore his memories for the greater good. She’s an entertaining character and it’s mildly lame that we don’t get to see her death from her own perspective. All she wanted was a nice gazebo. The ending also underwhelms a bit. It’s not so much a cliffhanger as it is giving up before the denouement. Not looking forward to where Failson and Darksaber Guy took this in Hunters of Dune. I remember practically nothing about that book except that it used the word “whores” over 100 times, and never read Sandworms. I have to say that I’m not at all convinced Herbert was intending the Honored Matres’ enemy to be super robots either. There’s very little which foreshadows anything such and it’s no surprise to me that Failson thought he needed to write a bunch of prequels about that before anyone would buy it. On the evidence of Heretics and Chapterhouse I think it’s fairly clear that the enemy was just autonomous face dancers of the upgraded soul-absorbing variety. Mostly I’m not convinced that the series was really going anywhere though. Call me a cynic but I don’t see a grand design in the Dune series, it’s more like Herbert writing whatever he felt like and then committing fairly strongly to exploring the consequences of it, regardless of what the result looked like. Hence the enormous differences between the various books, and the constant urge to top himself with weirder and weirder poo poo.

quote:Dune: The Sisterhood counts among its executive producers representatives from the Frank Herbert estate, and along with that star-studded 2020 movie (which, if all goes according to plan, will be the first of two Dune films), the series is a signal that Legendary Entertainment is planning to push ahead with what THR calls a “larger plan for Dune, which also includes video games, digital content packages and comic book series.” Paradox, you know what you have to do...

I started Heretics and I think it cemented the fact that I hate Duncan Idaho, his character sucks, and he is sapping my enjoyment of the series. Dune: Does nothing, gets drunk and threatens Jessica, dies offscreen. Messiah: Is a robot man, tries to kill the main character, awakens and does nothing. Children: Is sad and confused the entire story, tries to kill himself, gets murdered by Stilgar. God Emeperor: Is angry and confused and stupid the entire time, tries to murder Moneo because he sees two women kissing, climbs a wall. Beginning of Heretics: Is confused and also a child.
