Eau de MacGowan posted:a day after dunc and i guess im going to echo the sentiment that I just wish there was more colour in the movie I'm of the opposite opinion. For once I am so very happy that the aesthetic of the factions isn't color-coded in basic bitch fashion.

The real reason is it was going to be the ship we see him jump out of above Arrakis as he tries to find the Fremen. They cut that scene but found another place to use the design.

I guess if you have a drug that can make you even a tiny bit prescient, you could use that drug to find other drugs that make you more prescient? Like how did those dudes figure out that eating worm poop from an uninhabitable worm planet does all the poo poo it does? Humans will literally do _anything_ to try and get high, and that includes eating the poo from gigantic worms that inhabit remote, uninhabitable planets. Maybe even _especially_ poop from gigantic worms that exist in uninhabitable planets.

Given the stuff in the first novel, I imagine Arrakis was known and was being poked at, possibly as Imperial property direct, in order to provide somewhere to grow desert plants, given all the desert stuff. This also explains why there was all that "botanical testing station" stuff, the vague idea was to grow agave or whatever. There were probably the Fremen out in the desert, Fremenning it up, and some guys supporting the testing station. Given what they call it, they probably discovered the spice when someone tasted it, said "Hey this tastes good," had it confirmed non poisonous... and a few weeks later, he asked why Kyle MacLachlan was yelling something about "fighters."

Do we know that zensunni migrants aren't descendants of the Burning Man diaspora? phasmid posted:ok you got me, whyzat? I dont actually know why dunc-bomber wasn't on Arrakis. Re gulf war stealth bombers - the coating on F-117 and B-2 planes can't get wet, or at least couldn't then. They also require special hangers, and IIRC the b-2 was so finnicky that whenever it was used they just flew the mission from the US. Pretty much every problem the F-35 has, it inherited from a previous bird.

The appendix about the Kynes is just a wonderful work of short fiction that can be enjoyed as it’s own self contained short story. Just this normal guy (compared to the duneverse) trying to explain advanced ecology to Klingons that only survives because the guy they send to kill him trips onto his own knife.

Liet’s death in the film owned but I also really liked the death in the book. Dehydrated, hallucinating about desert ecology and his dead dad, all that planetary science melding with a messianic thing about the big greenening before blowing the gently caress up in an example of the very ecological processes he studied all his life, fully aware of it and nearly ecstatic the whole while, great trippy stuff. A culmination of the character. Probably wouldn’t on work on screen though. The film Liet’s death was maybe a little more conventionally badass as a way to go but hey, it was badass.
