I bet Harkonnen handmaidens are visually indistinct from the congealed fat that's left on a pan after cooking sausages.

In anticipation to the movie, and through the power of bad sleep schedule and procrastinating the things I should be doing, I managed to read the first book in a day. It was great! Ending was a little too fast and loose, but I still liked it.Hope they keep the hip needle in the movie, even though it'll probably look ultra dumb. Of the characters, I particularly liked Kynes (and prefer his death on the books a thousand times) and Fenrig and Harrah, for some reason. I was spoiled on Paul's ultimate fate (dont mind it though), and can't wait to see how his victory turns to ashes in the next books.

If that's their casting method they should have gotten Bobby Lashley to play Feyd.

No Mods No Masters posted:Thufir can come back to give a little exposition as a treat but yeah he's barely in the material left to adapt. I feel like even his role in the ending is like half a page tops. My question is what gurney is supposed to do when you've cut the subplot where he thinks jessica is a traitor. Just be there as a military guy I guess maybe he can milk a cat

Fenring's casting still hasn't been announced, has it? Tim Blake Nelson would be a pretty fantastic choice.

I thought the point of that quote was that Stilgar hears those numbers and, without much emotional response beyond "ol' Muad'dib's being weird again", says "Those sound like rookie numbers, m'lord" Like he's briefly interested because he thinks this guy killed six million people personally, which would have been kind of impressive. He even proposes a means by which it was the case! Nessus fucked around with this message at 20:59 on May 5, 2023 |

disposablewords posted:If you could trust your readers for that, then Dune Messiah would never have been written. Messiah was written contemporaneously and was going to be included as part of the original book. It was turned into a sequel to make Dune more marketable. So it wasn’t written as a clarification or corrective to the public’s response to Dune.

Frank says in the afterword to children of dune that he wrote parts of both messiah and children before the first book was completed. Parts is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, unless there's been some scholarly work on it you can probably interpret that any way you find convenient

I realize that but there has been a lot of people do worse things since but we still remember Ramses II. Hard to extrapolate into the future but I doubt they entirely forget the early baddies in human history. Not that this argument can really go anywhere, it just didn't bother me when I read it

Dune and Messiah were written mostly contemporaneously iirc, Children was after a long break which is why it pivots, but I wouldn't be surprised if Herb had ideas about it earlier.

Speaking of Dune, has anyone ever read the graphic novel?kiimo posted:Sounds like Brian Herbert mischief to me! EDIT: Holy poo poo, there's been at 17 distinct years that's had Children of Dune published. I wonder how many editions there are, and what the differences are.

Prolonged Panorama posted:We don't know that they have cut him suspecting Jessica... not having forseen that is the catalyst for Paul taking the Water of Life, so maybe it stays in. Isn't that a Gurney line? Or did Lynch just give it to Patrick Stewart in his adaptation? Either way I doubt we've seen the last of Thufir, and you raise a good point about Thufir thinking Jessica is the traitor, maybe that gets thrown in later to spice things up. It's already been said ITT or the other thread but we are 100% getting a fight between Gurney and Rabban, and I'm willing to bet a beer that Gurney cuts his loving head off. It'd be a nice cap to his personal backstory (maybe we'll even get him talking about "how I got this scar"!) especially considering basically the first time we see Gurney he's screaming in Paul's face about how much Harkonnens suck. BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Lisa Gerrard stuff Cool stuff, thanks! I don't think I've ever actually listened to Dead Can Dance; IDK why but I had the impression they were more of a goth band, did not expect this kind of haunting vocal stuff. Her voice in the DUNE soundtrack is incredible, but the thing that really makes my hair stand on end every time is Zimmer's 'impossible drum fill.'
