Honestly with their water discipline the fremen must be constipated all the time. They probably don't have that much fiber in their diet either.

Maybe spice coffee keeps you regular even better than normal coffee.

Rewatched dunc. I dont understand this notion of mentat erasure that everyone has

When kynes says there are 21 guys on the harvester and leto says they have room for 6 people on their 3 thopters, paul immediately calculates that they have a problem

It turns out they dont have a problem of course but he does the math

Paul also calculates that the shield generator has a weight of 100 kilograms which therefore means that they can trade a generator for a person, which is proven to be correct

That read to me more like "competent and quick thinking under pressure" vs mentat, but I was glad that bit was in there, a great little character moment. Leto's "we'll find a way" and immediately putting the thopter in a dive also owned.

Mostly Harmless
Reminds me of the somewhat tongue-in-cheek Isaac Asimov story about a scientist in the future who "discovers" how to do math with a paper and pencil, and it's this massive military advantage because it means calculations can be done by a single trained person with a pad of paper, rather than the enormous and expensive computers that they were previously using.

When they are showing off some of the Fremen equipment like the paracompass there's a device called a... Sand compressor? I think? And the Atredes guys are looking at it like "am I... Supposed to put my dick in there or what?"

that is a cool video

the Lynch sequence of the Atreides migration has been one of my favorite things since i was a kid.

the new version is kind of cool with the ships coming out of the water but definitely nowhere near as good

though imo much of the strength of the Lynch version comes from the Brian Eno piece that begins when they arrive. the rest of that movie is scored by Toto and it's great, but Eno's "Prophecy Theme" is amazing

I don't get the Hans Zimmer hate. The guy has a really good distinctive style that gets aped poorly and spoofed, just like any other musical artist, yet his talent is referred to so definitively as garbage by contrarians. Like it's just a given that he sucks.

The Dunc sound track is better than the 84 soundtrack.

For the Dunc soundtrack it really sounds like Zimmer was trying to go for a Jóhann Jóhannsson feel I don't know if it was purposeful or what but I really got that vibe. If he was alive I bet he would have done the score having done quite a few of Villeneuve's films.

i dont hate hanz zimmer, ive enjoyed some of his other soundtracks (dunkirk especially, and inception had some cool ideas) and i appreciated some of his little nods to the toto/eno soundtrack in dunc. but i strongly disagree, the toto/eno soundtrack is imo one of the best film soundtracks of the 80's and zimmer's take on it doesn't really come close

that doesn't mean he or the dunc score is "garbage" though. it's mostly just.. ok.

the theme of paul meeting chani by toto is also one of the best pieces in the 84 version:
