The real question is what's the cuneiform say

𒀸𒈦 . :argh: . 𒍝𒌋

I think i have this wrong, but i'm gonna plow ahead.

aš maš . fuuuuck . za šu
("alone, single, unique" or maybe "in, by, from") ("to be pure") . (something related to the face?) . (verbal element???) "totality, world"

CLEARLY these barbarian symbols mean nothing and can be ignored, my lord

Bless you, noble goon.
I googled up Assyrian cuneiform for Sun- Fish- God, which is a reasonable match for the sandworm life cycle.
I was going to do SH-H-L-D but wasn't sure if cuneiform reads right to left or left to right. Or even how it handles vowels.
e: if you can tell me how to write SHAI HULUD in cuneiform I'll do one last edit. Or BLESS THE MAKER or WALK WITHOUT RHYTHM.
Does classical Assyrian have a word for "thigh pads"?

as far as i know cuneiform is similar to chinese:
multiple languages use it
there's a sound component
there's a meaning component
there are 100 billion symbols and symbols made of symbols
some words require more than one symbol
originally the symbols were literally pictures, like almost all letters and writing

so for stuff like referring to a god you can sometimes huck a star on it. Literally a glyph that is a star: 𒀭, but i don't know if it always works. Sometimes if you want to say "a star" and you mean a star in the sky you have to do 𒀯𒀭 which is a constellation and a star, or something shining and a star. mul-an.

in sumerian you could maybe rig up something like:
sha-i = shai? 𒊮𒄿 "heart, inside, interior, middle" "to sprout/to praise/to cry"
hu-lu-ud = hulud? 𒄷𒇽𒌓 "to scrape off, grub up" "the one who" "sun/day/heat/fever/summer"
So if functional, sort of ok if you squint your brain really hard.

I don't know if this works at all to be honest.

A different track would be to break down shai hulud linguistically and restructure something from that, or to pull all the ones that have the phonetic equivalence and pick and choose the ones that can form meaningful words that seem to match ok? Idk I don't know if i have the vowels right, or how to link vowels to other vowels, or if you can. I don't know if any of it makes structural sense either. I can't actually read or write and these are probably not real words.

𒍮 𒀉𒃻 i think would be "hash" "angar" or "thigh" "part of a garment"

It's more complicated than that though because for example 𒍮𒅗 hashdug means have sex. Zoom in, rotate your head to the left and look at the pictures. "Thigh" could also refer to like the general junk region and one of the versions of it is written a certain way. 𒇇𒊩 means ewe, it's a drawing of a pen with sheep in it, and a naked chick's hips.

Honestly i don't know if any of this is accurate or if i made it all up but uh lol welp i posted it

e: hashdug more literally means "thigh talking" so... sex i guess. not crotch and dick or anything like that, it can't be relied that anything is a literal pic of what's going on

TRON 2 had zero substance but it was hands-down the most intense audiovisual spectacle I've ever witnessed. Saw it in IMAX 3D, in the theatre's sweet spot. It's the loudest movie ever, and the 3D treatment was shockingly immersive. My legs were shaking when I left the theatre.

It’s just been announced that Villeneuve is set to direct Rendezvous with Rama. I hope that doesn’t mean that Messiah is off the table :(

Or maybe the plan is to do Messiah after a bit of a gap.

I will believe a Rendezvous with Rama movie is coming when the opening credits for it are playing in front of me and not before. That property is almost the definition of “development hell”

I hope it does get made though and Villeneuve would be excellent for it!

All solo Clarke stuff average out to this weird mix of 95% incredibly dry stuff talking about big scientific ideas and 5% super horny. Rama was even less horny than most and I can’t even remember any of the characters names or even what they did in the plot. A lot of puzzling over alien machines and such iirc.
