Nah the Voice is still a deep creepy echoing sound it was the "weirding way" that got morphed into the sound guns. "My own name is a killing word!"

I like the sound weapon stuff to be honest. But I won't miss it when it is replaced with sweet martial arts. It better have sweet martial arts.

I was confused because I watched the movie as a kid before I read the book in college and was wondering when they would talk about the cool sound guns but instead the weirding way is just Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

WHY IS IT RAINING Because “Muad’dib had become the Hand of God”. Lynch Dune isn’t telling the skeptical meta-story of Herbert’s book: it’s narrated by Irulan who, as in the first book’s epigrapha, is openly promulgating the myths of the Mahdi. Like the first book, but unlike its sequels, it leaves the meta bit that Paul wasn’t actually cool or good as an exercise for the audience. Obviously it doesn’t agree with the sequels at all, but it isn’t trying to; it’s trying to portray Paul’s divinity as genuine and miraculous. If you asked Leto II for a filmbook of the story of Muad’dib, Lynch Dune is what you’d get

kiimo posted:I like the sound weapon stuff to be honest. Me too. I've said this before ITT but if there's one thing the new films borrow from the Lynch version I hope it's weaponized sound. I can picture the sandworms being mounted with enormous line arrays that can turn entire platoons of sardaukar into dust. Are there any other sci-fi books/films that explore this concept at all? I'm sure I've seen it before but I can't think of any right now.

The Bloop posted:*makes it rain beer* just realized something about Kralizec Egomaniacal machines destroying humanity in an effort to fix them is a not so subtle meta-reference to an egomaniacal failson destroying the Dune franchise by trying to add to it. FRANK KNEW edit: and he got Brian to write a story about how much Brian sucks by cleverly hiding an outline that could sneak past his radar... Much like how Leto II's golden path relied on his "stolen" journals being found and translated Jokerpilled Drudge fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Nov 25, 2019 |

The lynch initial Geidi Prime sequence is up there for best movie making ever. It’s completely weird and perfect. It deviates from the book in perfect ways. The barons corruption is visible : perfect for a movie !

I always liked the little details of Lynch’s Dune, like the juice box Rabban crushes some squealing animal in for a sip. Captures the Harokkonen’s foulness and cruelty well. And the hark’s weird shaved patch hairdos. Or the Baron’s oil bath then horny murder. That scared the willies out of me. Or the guildsmen shopvaccing up the water left from the navigator’s tank etc. It’s not all that coherent but I still love it.

Frank Herbert: the Butlerian Jihad refers to a struggle against the dehumanising effects of high technology; tragically, a society that has purged itself of "machines in the form of a human mind" is filled with every kind of cruelty and oppression- suggesting these evils result not from our tools, but from human nature itself.

The fact I remember it means it must have been the first one since I didn’t read the others.
