I think the actual answer is that Suk Conditioning is just a new branding of the Hippocratic Oath, and just as binding, but..

When/where/how did the Baron manage to kidnap Wanna? Assuming she was brought to Geidi Prime from somewhere else, would the Navigators be prescient enough to notice that a kidnapped person was on their ship? Are they in on it? Would the emperor allow such a transgression against an imperial conditioned Suk doctor go unpunished? Is he in on it? Wouldn't the Bene Gesserit be furious that one of their own was kidnapped? Are they in on it? This thing could go deep! Plans within plans...

Maybe Leto told Yueh that if he was ever imminently at risk of being captured and tortured, to just go ahead and euthanize him, and this Rube Goldberg poison tooth plan was just a way to carry that act out while protecting the other family members. The Baron was a cancer, and Yueh sought to chop off a limb to save the rest of the family.

It would have had to have been before he met up with the Duke, because Jessica was surprised to hear about his wife existing and ended up thinking Yueh was like Duncan and Gurney another person driven to the Atredies by the bonds of hatred of the Harkonnens.

The Baron told everyone that Yueh was a fake suk doctor.
Also, maybe it was here but somebody somewhere posted a clip of the sandworm attack from Dune 2 with the music from the Lynch version and it was awesome. Does anybody have that?

This is awesome.

Everyone probably knows this, but the Toto soundtrack is available on iTunes. Mostly just music from the film, but with a couple of the best spoken word pieces. (E.g., the Baron's "The Duke will die before these eyes, and he'll know, he'll know...!")

Always thought this would make a great sample to open a doom metal track with.

What’s that? You don’t like this guitar riff? How about if I played it 100 times more??

Lynch Dune has a great soundtrack overall but they definitely beat that motif to death towards the end of the movie. It’s so joyous and triumphant you almost get sick of them winning. Idk if it’s trying to be meta or if the band were so proud of it they couldn’t say no.

Nothing against Toto, but I wonder how it came to be that they did the score and Brian Eno just did the theme.

Funny interview with Toto members here. The answer is that Lynch temped the Prophecy scenes with Brian Eno and told Toto he wanted something like that, and eventually was just like “whatever, I’ll just have Brian Eno do it”

I have the original vinyl LP of it in storage, even if i no longer have a record player. :rolleyes:

A bit over the top but it worked for the movie.

You could exchange it for a handful of spice or a mansion on Tupile.

I'm planning a Dune themed porta potty for an event I host. Its gonna mostly have an easy listening soundtrack to it, like Phil Collins, Kenny G, and so on. It'll have really lovely AI art with guys in stillsuits playing the sax as well as the occasional AI song about sandworms and stuff. Probably some fremen themed live/laugh/love posters as well.

this rules, i think 2ne was missing a lot of this

like, they skipped the "gently caress YEAH, JIHAD!" bit, and went straight to the self-aware "maybe this jihad is going to get out of control" before we even got to hoot and holler at the harkonnens getting owned.

give us the jihad cheeseburger denis. we don't need the jihad salad until part three!!!

Prompted by the release of the movies, I am now reading Dune for the first time. I like how fleshed out the characters are and how grounded the setting feels. Currently at the part where the Baron is plotting to replace Piter with Thufir, something that was not in Villeneuve's version.

When I was around 10 years old, I tried reading God Emperor, because that was the book they had at the library. I stopped reading when some guy started turning himself into a sandworm (wtf?). I think I was a little too young for that kind of book back then.

I'm sure there's some kind of pattern behind which scenes in Dune 2 have subtitles and which don't, but I'm too stupid to puzzle it out. Any thoughts?

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

Also some scenes show people using hand signals as code that are subtitled even though no ones talking. (It's a great little nod to the book's "battle languages" imo)
