Dune was fuckin awesome. They carved up the book and dumbed a few things down, sure, but goddamn it was a huge book; dripping with detail. Getting it in under three hours was amazing. The Stillsuits; the fremen, the fuckin guild...man. The Shadout Mapes. Patrick motherfucking Stuart. Too much great poo poo to name. I liked the movie Baron. Sure he was a bit of a caricature, but they had to thin out the pages somewhere and he wasn't even the end boss, so.

They call my dick Shai-Halud.reallivedinosaur posted:i dunno if it was any good they would have made a sequel The only good thing about the black hole is the end where its a robot in hell or something.  I rewatched Dune last night and forgot how there were so many famous actors in it. All of Lynch's usual cast members plus more. Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, Sting, Dean Stockwell, and Max von Sydow. Milk your cat

Having just recently rewatched it, I can objectively say that it is not a good movie. Like, it's great for the weird 80s aesthetic, and the set and costume design is pretty cool, but David Lynch had definitely not figured out that a movie should be show, not tell. And there's tons of pointless filler and all the weird poo poo he threw in for no drat good reason.

You get a quick shot of one as it's hauling rear end into the spice harvester before the sandworm attacks.  Edit: They even made a toy of it in their misguided merchandising line...  Edit: It looks like I'm wrong, this is the shot of the "sand crawler" scout entering the spice harvester...  But they not only made a Revell model kit out of it...  ...but also a motorized toy version.  Edit: wrong again, here's a shot of the spice scout as well from the movie. They really did try to make toys out of everything...

It was really bizarre that they made Dune toys. The movie itself is not a great adaptation of the book but I do like the designs for everything. Also the change of the Weirding Way to be weapons instead of kung fu makes sense given when the movie came out.

muscles like this? posted:It was really bizarre that they made Dune toys. Yeah, I think if the Weirding Modules actually did more than just shoot stuff, it would probably be a better compromise. I like the idea of it being an artificial focus that replicates Bene Gessrit abilities, so you could do loving nutso poo poo with it like suck the air out from under ornithopters or conjuring flame or creating a non-Holtzman shield to deflect incoming threats, etc. I think even the Fremen are impressed when Paul lays out that coup de'grace psychic scream on Feyd, crushing his dying body without the need of the Module, so it tells you how bad news those Weirding Modules are in comparison to conventional weapons like lasguns and slugthrowers. Of course, just saying "Muad'dib" and blowing up your enemy is good enough

I think that ended with Starship Troopers, now they market those toys to kid-like adults.

They also had very little to do with the movies. Sergeant Apone was wearing weird early 90s gangsta poo poo and the "scorpion" alien had a button on his tail that blew him to pieces a la T-1000. Inside the hollow of his chest cavity was a big red organ, presumably a heart. I walk through the toy aisle sometimes and feel sorry for what passes as action figures these days.

You ever notice how Arrakis sounds like Iraq? The book is just a metaphor for Gulf War I.

"Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads." -Dune movie The book just leaves you to guess as much. There's a part with Caladanian soldiers joking around that on Arrakis you have to wipe your rear end with sand.
