There's no need to speak. You must only concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder.
A beefswelling is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows.

We got 'slow projectiles' in both film adaptations, right? I'm not gonna go back and watch both to make sure but I do remember them being a thing.

In the Lynch film, someone (maybe Duncan?) is killed by a headshot with one and we see it bore through his shield.

In Villeneuve's adaptation, a bunch of Atreides ships are blown up by large projectiles that seem to slow down and similarly bore through the shield. I may be imagining but I seem to remember this happening to soldiers as well, and at least one character (maybe Duncan, or Gurney) manages to pull some off of themselves before they can get through the shields.

Am I totally losing my mind or was this in either movie? Was it a concept from the book as well?

Old (good) movie had drill bullets. They were pretty dumb and that's how Duncan died I think

Yeah and it was that terrible hand-rotoscoped shield effect, somehow simultaneously blurry and blocky, that made it impossible to tell what was going on. He looked like he was killed by a lag glitch in an FPS

Momoa gets shot with one but manages to deflect it during the hallway fight I think. It’s a cool concept but they definitely make it seem like shields are kind of bullshit since they’re so easily defeated

Really idk what that old pervert was thinking. We need to update the franchise for modern gun loving audiences imo, scrap the ridiculous shields and knives and just give everyone a pistol. Freemens could still carve it out of the worm tooth or whatever I don't give a gently caress

Fremen have maula pistols, and presumably they're incredibly useful out in the desert where you can't use a shield.

With shields and swords you'd figure that combat would be a lot more grappling and draw cuts rather than stabbing and hacking attacks.

A boot suited to cold, damp conditions. But worse than useless in the desert.
I wonder if Yueh's first name is an authorly hint at the doctor's role in the story. A man perfectly suited to the problems the duke (!) expected to face, but useless for Dune, desert planet.

When I read the book I imagined slowdarts as popping an umbrella form to slow by air resistance at the last second. I think visually the Dunc movie did great with the shields, kindof videogamey with red and blue but the audience gotta get it right away.
