Explain the worms. My son saw the Dunc 2 with a friend who hadn't seen part 1 or read the book and at one point the friend leaned over and whispered, "why is he walking like that?"

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

In a dystopia feudal future, the desert planet Arrakis, inhabited by giant sandworms and ornery nomads, is the only source of a psychoactive chemical that is necessary for space travel. A noble house is granted control of the planet, but it turns out to be a trap to get them shanked by a rival noble house. But a) the native population turns out to be way bigger, badder, and more pissed off than expected b) the heir to the destroyed house turns out to be the product of a thousand year eugenic conspiracy by evil sex nuns to breed a psychic ubermensch c) part of said conspiracy involved starting a fake religion among those nomads based around "if said ubermensch shows up, drop everything and go on a horrific holy war to exterminate all his enemies"

It's not necessary though. Machines do the space folding, prescience just lets you pick the path that doesn't slam you into a planet or cosmic brick wall, most of the time.

Yep! The Ornithopter kit is one of those fancy ones but it comes with most of the cast, including hovering massive cape Baron Harkonnen.

For some reason I'm picturing Sandworms fitting right into Avatar The Last Airbender verse.

They should just do God Emperor with multiple directors doing different parts like in Four Rooms. Just go hog wild with it. Don't let Tarantino do the Hwi scenes or else Leto II will suddenly have a foot fetish.

My brother and his wife bought the ornithopter set, he brought it over to show off to me... and then decided to leave it here for now because he's in the same bind with not really having good display space at home.

It's goddamn amazing but I am terrified of handling it.

If I recall correctly they're all 100% dependent on a single air-traffic controller that used to be a human woman. The guild is pretty lucky that a benevolent super-being with no value for incentives just keeps the whole operation afloat in her idle time.

I always liked this fan art of the Guild navigators:



As they mutate ('level up', I guess) from increased spice intake, their sinuses get more warped and hosed-up looking, not unlike a cocaine addict.

Are 'stages' of navigator a thing from the books, or a Lynch invention? Come to think of it, I haven't read the books in a LONG time - is the navigator that talks to the emperor actually described as mutated, and in a tank? Or is that all Lynch too?

no, stages is something Lynch came up with. the book high level guild guys are hosed up but not quite at that level. here's one interpretation, maybe still a little extreme, posted mostly because i like Wayne Barlowe.

hosed up navigators only show up in messiah, original recipe DUNC only references them but never shows any
