That list always makes me think how bad the casting for the miniseries was.

William Hurt always sounded like he was either going to doze off in the middle of a scene or just tremendously bored

Maybe both

He would have made a good emperor but lol at blond, doughy and balding William Hurt being Duke Leto Atreides, the hawk-like son of a bull fighter descended from Greek rulers.

I mean, it really should've been a MENA actor (along with the rest of the Fremen). But if they weren't going to do that... then yeah he was great.

God, he absolutely was just phoning it in. A fair few of the performances were mediocre but they were rarely so disinterested as Hurt's. At least the guy playing Harkonnen was having a hell of a fun time.

I think BR2049 had a similar issue where they didn't have any east Asians in the cast despite so much of the aesthetic borrowing from there. Yet BR2049 had a Palestinian actress and Dune had a Taiwanese actor.

I was a friend of Jamis but that dude always put in the tiniest glob of spit into the spit coffee. Even when we told him to spit in it more, he would just mumble something about dry mouth and change the subject.

Yueh is canonically Asian too. The book describes him as having an "epicanthic folds," which is a fancy way of describing East Asian eyes. I remember this because its how I learned a neat new word.

Now that I think of it ten thousand years in the future distinctive racial features might be completely differrent, oh well, I already typed this.

It's funny how you can be friends with someone like Jamis in highschool and he's just a wild character but then you get a little older and he starts sending you conspiracy theory posts from Spacebook and you realize it isn't really amusing anymore. Before the end he was full-on Q-Abom talking about how lasguns couldn't melt shield beams

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the sardaukar, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Arrakis, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in desert warfare and I'm the top hunter-seeker operator in the entire imperial armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this universe, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of harkonnen spies and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in throat singing, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the lansraat and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable house off the face of the planet you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" jihad was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

Take Jamis' wife... please

Jamis at open mic night was a trip


I tell ya I get no respect. Take my wife Harah, she kisses the chairdog on the lips yet she won't drink from my catchtube!

The other day we're all making spit tea and one of the guys says don't worry Harrah we all already got yours

What an amazing audience. Listen I had a tough childhood when I was a child I was kidnapped by Harkonnens. They sent my pinkie to my father he said they needed more proof!

Listen these Arrakeen city Naibs these days they're just the worst. I said have you ever ridden Shai Hulud he says he grew up racing worms in the city. We got on top I said where you going he said I only know how to turn left!

I'm a terrible lover I tell ya I'm the only guy in the spice orgy that got booed. My wife cut me down to once a week, I consider myself lucky though some guys she cut out completely.
