One thing that'll be less impressive in Part Two is due to one of the weirdest and most unnecessary changes in Part One - the Shield Wall just being a small wall instead of a massive geographic feature. Blowing it up with Atomics just won't be as cool as it could be.

That’s a bad shot tbh. Epic trailer pose

I was really hoping to see the shrine of Leto’s skull in this movie. It’s such a great image from the book and they even kept the line, but didn’t show me the skull! What the gently caress!!

The scene where Mapes gives Jessica the knife, and Jessica is kinda feeling her way through the interaction while prepping the guard with battle language is so loving good!

An interesting tid bit: In the book, if someone drew a crysknife, they are expected to draw blood from it. In that scene, no blood came about, but at the end, after Paul and Jamis' duel, you see Fremen drawing their crysknives and cutting their wrists.

Some weirdos really like Heretics. You might be one of those weirdos! If you love all four of the first books I would say go for it. I think it also depends on which books you enjoyed. Like, if GEoD is your favorite, 5 and 6 might seem kinda lame. If you love Dune the most, then you might enjoy 5. I’m with most people that 1-4 are on a different level than 5-6. The overall story of 5-6 was interesting but I found them incredibly hard to get through, Chapterhouse especially.

Guys I did it. I read this entire thread front to back. From the first string of Arrested Dunevelopment jokes to the first mention of thigh pads to the next set of Arrested Dunevelopment jokes to movie rumors to Simpsons/KotH memes and third set of Arrested Dunevelopment jokes. On through the movie coming out and people seeing it in theaters where it was too dark and missing the point somehow and mostly fanboys geeking out all the way to now.

That may sound critical but it was an excellent read and I am so glad to be here at the end.

Ranked:
1. Dune
2. GEoD
3. Heretics
4. Messiah
5. CoD
6. Chapterhouse

And DUNC is better than Lynch's although I enjoy them both as mostly a SF and Dune fan (rather than cinema fan)

Unprocessed spice should be blue/violet and the gas should be orange.

You missed the jokes about Dune: Desert Planet and variants - those are my favorite part of the entire thread, although I think when I read through it, it was only like 100 pages.

Yeah I liked those and honestly all the sitcom title jokes too. At almost every derail, however, someone would mention stillsuit function and "rerail" the thread quickly back to talking about poop.

Heretics has fun stuff in it, like Teg and chairdogs.

I don't understand all this prescriptivist stuff about not reading some of the books. Like, are you curious about what happens next? Keep reading! All of Frank's books are at least good.

The correct way to acquire the books is for a dollar or less at a used book store so it's not like there's a barrier to entry.

Caveat: If you're still curious at the end of Chapterhouse then you're S.O.L. because no other books exist in the Dune universe

I wonder if the new movie will go back and fill in some of the blanks like The Two Towers did. That would be nice. Like mentats and more Piter and Feyd and the Guild and Emperor.

Yeah It'll be interesting to see where they put the time jump. There are some pretty significant scenes that have to take place before we jump ahead. The Feyd fight can be moved in isolation but the Baron/Fenring convo (probably Baron/Mohiam in the film) has to take place at the same time, which is after the jump. In my mind the Feyd fight is the perfect opener to redefine/up the stakes, and would make a nice emotional counterpart to the Jamis funeral (if we see it), so maybe all the Paul/Jessica/Fremen scenes will be flashbacks? I'm sure they'll make it work but it's an interesting problem.

I think it likely there will be a laser/shield reaction that will take out lot more than the shield wall instead of trying to introduce the family atomics
