also look up a Japanese artist name of Sorayama. he sort of took the concept and got nutty with it. and then a fashion designer decided to make it into outfits. people are saying that's the original outfit from back in the 90s which is pretty wild... that it even fits properly if so.

Heh, wonder if that's what Venture Bros was referencing with Mike Soroyama.

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.
I wonder what change to the story the film makes for Alia to be an adult.

In the book she like…leaves pseudo-telepathic prescience messages for Paul so they can communicate while she’s in imperial custody. I forget how this works exactly but there’s no reason why these prescience messages couldn’t be delivered by Anya Taylor Joy as opposed to a freakish chattering infant.

I liked the part in the Lynch version where Alia sassed the emperor.

In fact, thinking about it the Emperor really got made into a chump. First he's kissing salamander rear end to the spacing guild (when they say "you are transparent" I am unsure if they mean "we know you are telling the truth" or "they'll see your plan a mile away") then when he's getting punked on by a 4 year old.

That's because Shaddam IV is a chump. He destroys what could have been his greatest ally out of petty paranoia, giving special favors to a monster and basically letting that monster hold blackmail over his head forever despite whatever threats he could make with the Sardaukar. He lost even before Paul came to him with his ultimatum, the only question was who he was going to finally lose to. The Emperor was an idiot coward who would not have passed the gom jabbar.

He was chumped before the book even began, when the BG arranged it so that he would have only daughters.

Even at the end, Paul scrapes a raw nerve when he tells him that he was only "permitted" to take the throne because he promised to keep the spice flowing, and he's managed to gently caress that into a cocked hat.

quote:

Paul turned back to look at the Emperor, said: “When they permitted you to mount your father’s throne, it was only on the assurance that you’d keep the spice flowing. You’ve failed them, Majesty. Do you know the consequences?”

“Nobody permitted me to—”

“Stop playing the fool,” Paul barked.
Even his own hand-picked assassin and hatchet-man turns his back on him at the end.

Shaddam IV is the chump of chumps.

Frank Herbert would apparently disagree.

Also put that way, Paul marrying Irulan, even entirely on paper as far as he's concerned, was if anything giving him Shaddam more credit than he deserved.
