I think there's definitely something like that in Messiah but I couldn't tell you for the life of me like 2/3 of what happened in that book.

Yeah it's near the beginning of Messiah, Farok is telling Scytale about how he enlisted in the Jihad because he had heard of oceans but couldn't imagine them quote:“A Qizara Tafwid stood nearby when I came dripping from that water. He had not entered the sea. He stood on the sand . . . it was wet sand . . . with some of my men who shared his fear. He watched me with eyes that knew I had learned something which was denied to him. I had become a sea creature and I frightened him. The sea healed me of the Jihad and I think he saw this.” I'm literally rereading these books right now lol

zoux posted:So in their little galactic jihad, I guess the spice-addicted Fremen had to take loads of the spice melange around with them to get their fix like the Jem Hadar? Is that ever a problem or is it just, oh we put some in the MREs. I’m flipping through Messiah now and it turns out this actually does briefly come up! Right before Stilgar gets to sneering about Emperor Hitler’s KDR quote:Stilgar’s mind still felt crammed with Zabulon data—computations from the staff mentats: two hundred and five attack frigates with thirty legions, support battalions, pacification cadres, Qizarate missionaries…the food requirements (he had the figures right here in his mind) and melange…weaponry, uniforms, medals…urns for the ashes of the dead…the number of specialists—men to produce raw materials of propaganda, clerks, accountants…spies…and spies upon the spies… So yeah, they brought it along with the food.

I kinda wish those movies were more stand alone because he's perfect for the ernest dork trying to do the right thing vibe teenage Peter Parker always seems to have, I just wanted him to deal with like Rhino ruining a school dance or some poo poo without taking to Tony Stark about it first

I thought Barry was absurdly good in Killing of a Sacred Deer, so that'd be cool. Not gonna get attached or anything but he's real good at being creepy as hell and he and Chalamet would actually make for a believably close fight.

Thoughts - are fremen bad rear end because they're just way loving older than everyone else? if spice triples your lifespan, there could be fremen who would've been fighting the Harkonnens the entirety of their 80 years of occupation - if spice addiction gives you the eyes of ibad, why don't all the nobles have it, or the BG? Specifically, I would assume that the Baron would be heavily addicted, as well as Glossu Rabban, but wouldnt Leto have already been deep into the stuff as a noble? Wouldn't the BG reverend mothers have it as well?

Vampire Panties posted:Thoughts Maybe it's more a function of duration than dosage? A meal with a daily dusting of spice is a much shorter exposure than having it blown into your face every minute of every day. Also, I was under the impression that on Arrakis there's just trace amounts of spice on everything, so there'd be a constant background radiation of spice particles physically battering your eyeballs, which would also be qualitatively different from metabolizing it via digestive tract.

Vampire Panties posted:Thoughts Herbert is kind of vague and/or changed his mind about how much more life spice gets you. In the first book it doesn’t seem like that much, decades rather than centuries. Later it seems more powerful, like Miles is loving 300 or something. You need to be extremely spicy to get the eyes. Normal rich person spice use where you spice the food with it isn’t enough. You’ve got to either breathe it constantly like the Guildsmen or Fremen, or snort it constantly like Piter.
