I watched Dune for the first time last night, I've never read the books. It was a messy film and a lot of the time I didn't understand what was going on but I didn't want to turn it off at any point. It was fascinating. I had to go and read a bit of lore on Wikipedia and that made it fall in place a bit more. As for the new film though, I see now Feyd in the cast and that's a shame because I thought Sting/Feyd was one of the best parts of Lynch's film. Someone told me it's meant to be a two-parter and Feyd doesn't show up that much in the first half of the book. But even so, how are they going to cast him as gloriously as in the old film? Just doesn't seem likely to me!

THE BAR posted:Dunno! Discworld novels tend to go for a tenner? ...?!?! There's a garden center near us does softbacks for 50p and hardbacks a quid, then there's a bargain bucket thats 10p a book? There's an Oxfam on the high street that only sells books, only for a quid? Down in Brighton there was a great second hand bookstore that would frequently have signed first editions for next to nothing. How are you paying five pounds for a second hand Discworld book?

Thrift shop paperbacks are like 4 for $1 here. Granted it was 25 years ago, but I got a complete works of Shakespeare, hardcover, printed in 1900, for 50 cents.

My collection before I Mari Kondo'ed away the duplicates. Oldest is I think the "Illustrated Dune" black-cover from 1978. I can take pictures of them and post later. The old Heretics/God Emporer in the top left are holding up my monitors right now. Had a corner of a living room that I made a bookcase to fit. Didn't feel like staining, so instead covered it with pages from Dune.  Cool Dune copy found in Ukraine, I didn't buy it because hopefully someone else does.

Pretty good posted:Feyd and the baron both get introduced around the same time in the book iirc. I think they're sitting on the casting because it's gonna blow people's minds (also when I say I think I mean I hope) I think keeping feyd for film two makes a lot of sense, and having rabban as the first films main antagonist

Rabban doesn’t do any more in the first half of the book than Feyd does. He is a good character and doesn’t need to be beefed up at all though. Much as I love Lynch Dune’s vision of him, it’s a caricature and not faithful to the book. But I think the movies would lose a lot by missing the baron’s plan to crush the Fremen and then send them a savior, and I don’t think I could buy Bautista and Chalamet both being Kwisatz Haderach candidates. So I hope it’s a secret casting or else a double role for Chalamet.

Rabban isn't the Kwisatz Haderach candidate, that's Feyd.

If your first copy of Dune still has the cover then get the gently caress out of my face. I think this was originally my dad's  (forgive the lighting, my power just went out) (also it's missing about half the Terminology of the Imperium bit after the appendixes)
