(It's the revised Gale Force 9 version, which I haven't played, not the original Avalon Hill version, but I understand the changes were pretty minimal and for the better.) https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3898332&pagenumber=457&perpage=40&userid=0#post522323271 This link might work better for mobile app users

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Why can't he just faithfully adapt the book now that he's shown he knows how to wield the attitude of the knife that Arrakis teaches, instead of making GBS threads all over the source material like 90% of other science fiction movie adaptations of books? As I recall, Jessica and Paul each spend like 10 or 20 pages tripping hard on Spice and/or seeing the future in the back half of the book.

Feyd isn't a sex pest. If anything he's almost uninterested in things that aren't scheming and fighting. The Baron is constantly going through slave boys. Edit: Feyd considers Vladimir's horniness to be a weakness, and a potential assassination route. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 16:47 on May 16, 2022 |

After Game of Thrones that kind of court intrigue is a lot more likely to be okay for, or at least understood by, the audience.

10,000 years before the events of Dune is just like the end of this century, isn't it?

I just found it. We're at like 24,000 years before the events of the first book right now. First book takes place around the 10,200 AG range and the first use of atomic weapons on Terra is like 14,500 BG

I'm really hoping that they were filming in Jordan and took a day off to go see Petra for fun and aren't going to film scenes for their far future outer space movie at an incredibly famous world heritage site that has already been prominently featured in several major motion pictures.

If he's just now joining the cast, then he's got to be either a Harkonnen or part of the imperial court. Afaik they're done with all the desert shooting.

I disagree. She doesn't have a look of childlike innocence, she looks serious but afraid. Perhaps out of her depth

The movie is ready but they need to space out what they've finished got to cover the empty spring months. So they've got an extra 4 months to do trailers and don't want to show the same trailer too much

I do think it's possible that someone else (a big name star) will get to kill the Baron, but that freaky toddler will definitely show up to spook the Witches

FINALLY got to go see the movie, my thoughts about it 1) sucks that it was all compressed into less than 9 months, the toddler abomination should have knifed the baron 2) rocks that Jessica had her own plans and went to go do them while Paul was refusing to become the messiah 3) really wish that Paul had gotten to transmute and defeat Feyd's (Emperor's) blade poison 4) thoughts on Part 3 / Messiah: since Denis is clearly compressing the time from 12 years to a few years like he compressed 3 years into 9 months, instead of Chani being infertile because she is being poisoned, she will simply be missing and Paul will have to find her and re-win her love.

Excellent question/point. Seems like Denis really screwed up by compressing the timeline.

Tree Bucket posted:The flame around the emperor's orb ship during the dust storm might also help explain why shields aren't great in deserts. It looks like the shield is trying to block every wind blown dust particle Yes, that's the way shields work. They can block everything . Personal shields are tuned so that air can get to your lungs, but a spaceship (or a fortess-palace) has its own oxygen supply so they just are set to block everything. And even if you reset it to allow air to pass, sand that's moving even a couple of km/h will be stopped.
