This is the tweet and this is the link. Also, If you look under your avatar you'll notice an octothorpe and a questionmark - the first takes you to the current post and the second creates a mini-thread of posts only by that user, so if you know who posted something in a thread you can quickly search through it that way, without relying on SA Search (even though it sort-of works right now) or google's site search.

I read Dune for the first time this spring. It ruled. The narrative crescendos blew my hair clean off. The Missionaria Protectiva is really hosed up. So then I watched Lynch's Dune by dodgy means. I thought it sucked. I never watched it when I was young, but all my cousins did and thought it was cool but it is not as cool as the book. Then I found this thread and the Sweded video is so good and I'm still working on reading God-Emperor, but my brother brought me SciFi Dune and I just wanted to shout one thing into the void before I go back to lurking and reading GEoD: Chani has water-fat tiddies

I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Lynch’s Dune because I saw it around ‘85 as a ten year old. I thought it was loving amazing at the time - far more interesting than Star Wars or Trek. Then i read the book when I was around 17 for the first time and realized that the movie does indeed suck in comparison. Nostalgia is a powerful force. “Father, the sleeper has awakened!”

Honestly thought the miniseries was pretty good. Nailed the casting for the Baron and the guy playing Paul had a few good scenes even though he was too old for the role until the last third.

I enjoyed Children of Dune because you got to see Leto rip a giant plasteel church door out of the wall with his bare hands and then spin Alia by her leg around his head like a helicopter like he was the Hulk.

Leto II getting sandworm superpowers is so bizarre compared to everything before it, it's one of my favorite parts of the series.

It's just unfortunate that some books take nearly the entire length of the book to become good

I think I was 14 or 15 when I first tried reading Dune, and bogged down about a third of the way in. Had a hard time getting into it. Then I happened to spot the Lynch movie at the video rental store, watched it, and suddenly the book clicked; I devoured the rest of the series. The movie's weird and not necessarily fully true to the book, but I appreciate it and am glad it exists. Also I know I've said this before in the thread but: Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i want to see another attempt but it has to be like an old-school epic. lavish sets and costuming, the entire thing filmed on 70mm film, entr'acte and minimum one intermission, thousands of extras trucked out into the desert, and the studio nearly goes bankrupt trying to finish the movie.

The early Star Wars script drafts are interesting, not to say good. You can tell Lucas went back to them to mine himself for Star Warsy ideas when he began to write the prequels, too. They’re not literally set in Dune universe though. The “spice” that comes up briefly in actual Star Wars and more prominently in the drafts is just an appropriately sci-fi sounding replacement for the secret gold in The Hidden Fortress.
