The movie's explicit on this: "Don't spill it!" -- Stilgar You can remember that because it's his only line that doesn't contain the words, "As written in the prophecy."

it was good to flanderize Stilgar. he flanderized himself, that's what the turning into a creature of the lisan al-gaib entails

I still haven't seen this, friends coming over tonight to re-watch the first one to prep for our IMAX 70mm journey soon. But like, as a many time reader of the books this poo poo is SO WEIRD to me. Is this what it felt like when Mighty Mighty Bosstones got super popular and their hardcore fans were disillusioned? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4Jrz-frNLy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== tik tok chicks saying may thy knife chip and shatter, what a crazy world to be living in right now

We thank you, Jessica, for the gift of your body’s moisture. We accept it in the spirit with which it is given. *Vomits*  When Stilgar spit, did he assume that the palace would reclaim the water, same as a sietch? Was he wasting spit as a sign of respect, or literally trying to pay tribute with/transfer ownership of water?

Well, I would imagine that if Stilgar was giving Jessica poo poo for crying at the pool of the departed, him spitting on the floor was the highest sign of respect to the Duke.

Spending water for no purpose as a sign of honor. There's a whole thing where everyone else assumes he was insulting the Duke but Leto realized that, no, it was an honorable gift.

It did seem uncharacteristic that Jessica couldn't stop herself from barfing in a film where she also has the self control to neutralize poison on a molecular level.

in fairness the rest of both films have less offensive jokes that are much more in-character, and some of them are even pretty good. it's just that the films each start with the worst one. the first scenes of each film do a great job establishing the Vibes that carry throughout the rest of the runtime, and then those jokes come in like nails on chalkboard

Getting your neck snapped or your skull bashed in beats the hell out of spending a lifetime in a pain amplifier. Rabban's obviously hosed, and they know they'd go down with him. The mentats are playing the short game.

By the way, the original Turkish translation of Dune in the 90s (yeah it took that long) was an absolute gem and the translators did an OUTSTANDING job Hayt is called Nefr because the Turkish word for Hate is Nefret so it fits perfectly. Krysknife is Hancer-i Figan, which is -rougly- Dagger of Wailing Herberts religious and cultural concepts translate extremely smoothly to Turkish that the old trabslations are still considered superior despite many new translations
