I get the sense that spice addition is more about when you're used to consuming a certain amount, you can't consume less of it without feeling ill effects?

Yeah, the blue eyes only come when you're addicted, and you only get addicted if you consume it for long enough consistently like the fremen (or pitter), or if you get a massive dose at once like the bene gesserit reverend mothers. It's brought up somewhere in the first book that even trace ammounts grant all of the good stuff like better health and longer life span, but above a certain threshold you introduce the dependence on it without getting rid of the upsides.

Balls remain blue throghout, though.

Yes, but you can extract water from it if the turd's stored in your thigh pads. Not sure where this metaphor is heading tbh.

That's the exact look I'm going for in my adaptation.

The Harkonnens rose to prominence and noble titles through commerce. They're "new money." It makes sense to me that they'd have a faux-friendly slick corporate identity, which they resent as beneath them as nobility but owe everything to.

Harkonnen colors are given as orange and blue, which depending on the shades can have a mid-century modern feel, like most of Scandinavian design (though they don't use those colors). Like the Gulf racing livery:


"Harkonnen" was supposed to be a Russian/Soviet sounding name, it's actually closer to Finnish. In Cyrillic (Russian alphabet) "Harkonnen" looks like "Xapkohheh" with a slightly tweaked K. Thus my current take on the Harkonnen (commercial arm) look, which will appear huge and imposing on the side of mostly-white, egg shaped spacecraft:


They probably commissioned an ancient/traditional looking coat of arms too, which I'm also working on, featuring the full Xapkohheh name and griffons.

I am catching up on the thread but I have to thank whomever suggested the Spicediver Alternative Edition Redux because it is by far the best edit I have seen of the movie. Even better than "the insanely complete 3-hour fan edit" I had before. I had to switch my VPN to a server in Belgium to watch/download it on YouTube, but it was entirely worth it.

It was probably me, as I basically never stop talking about that version whenever the movie comes up, so you're very welcome!
With a good upscaler, the source version (rather than the youtube-compressed one) becomes absolutely gorgeous to watch.

Paul loses scroll declaring kanly, we see him desperately looking for a solution as the jingle plays, cut to Harkonnen court looking impatient waiting for the declaration, cut to Paul eating a Mento and smiling, jingle swells, Paul walks in and lobs Rabban's severed head into Vlad's lap and smiles. His infectious smile breaks the serious mood as laughter ripples through the room. Freeze frame on Paul turning to the camera as he smiles, holding the the roll of candy, as the last lyrics of the jingle play: "fresh and full of the Waters of Life!!!"
