goodbye Duke Leto - by El'ton Jon

Highliner gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed in the castle back home
I shoulda stayed on ol' Caladan

Reverend Mother cant hold me forever
I know my moms onto you
My dads gonna be in charge of Arrakis
He's gonna be running the planet DU-uuuuuunnnNE

(Fremen chant oooh, oooohhh)

So goodbye Duke'a Leto
Harkonnen's took over your role
I cant stay out in daylight
I'm gonna go back to my hole
Back in the hidden Sietch in the hills
Wiping the sand from my rear end
I've had a great vision, our future lies,
Along the Golden Pa-aaaaaa-athhh

(Fremen chant AH, Aaaaaaahh, aaah)

What about all the Fre-men?
I'll bet the Jihad will be grand
gonna drink me some drowned worm's vomit
To set us on the path again
Maybe you'll get a new emperor
visions tell me that it'll be great
The sleeper, who has finally awakened,
the Kwisatz Hadera-Accc-aaah-aaach!

(Fremen chant aaah, aaah)

So goodbye Duke'a Leto
Harkonnen's took over your role
I cant stay out in daylight
I'm gonna go back to my hole
Back in the hidden Sietch in the hills
Wiping the sand from my rear end
I've had a great vision, our future lies,
Along the Golden Pa-aaaaaa-athhh

So, in any of the DUNE novels, do the Fremen refer to a golden shower as either being the ultimate beefswelling? Or is grounds for instant murder? or...both? I just fired up ChatGPT and need some details on this.

Watched DUNC 2. Great pacing, Great Performance by the cast. Stillgar is actually funny when you get to know him. Gurney is a terrible singer! Austin Butler is the hottest powder-cosplay Ive seen on the big screen and a psycho. The last ten minutes of the movie was amazing.

Also, as I was getting up from my seat I overheard a young woman ask a guy if there were any after credits scenes at the end of the movie.

I got a popcorn bucket and my cats are terrified of it.

6. I'd go so far as to say Gurney was unnecessary...now wait, before you throw poo poo or declare kanly, no mention is made of using the family atomics on the shield wall. The wall (and thus the atomics) might as well not have been there; they could have worked around it with a little script work. If the script had done more to show Gurney pulling Paul back into the game of the Great Houses, advising him to take Irulan's hand(instead of Jessalia), etc., then there could have been a meaningful place for him. But he was in it because (a) Rabban needed to die and (b) nobody would believe the twink could beat Bautista (though Elvis does so convincingly). And the fight was a big nothingburger.[/spoiler]


I understand the need for a little bit more political finagling, but I think Dennis had to cut out some exposition, he did include the part about the "Original" Atomics which helped explain why there are a buttload of missles inside a cave, so for non-Dune fans its a McGugffin to give the underdogs a better chance at winning. The Lansradd shock at someone blowing poo poo up for blowing poo poo up's sake isn't really needed as its inferered that the gargantuan NUCLEAR EXPLOSION that just took out a mountainside is a pretty big deal. I thought the Twink vs. Powder fight was pretty brutal, or are you reffering to the Rabban vs. Gurney fight?


YoursTruly posted:


Also, what was the point of attacking the spice harvester and getting shot at by a 'thopter, when they seemed to have had lasguns set up all around it already.


I think the point was maybe to build the plot that Paul is becoming a Fedyakin and the audience needs to see him fighting. It could be hand-waved away that the fremen were spread around to avoid detection and needed time to setup the lasguns or something! I think the movie needed action sequences to keep things moving.


Im still sad that we got two DUNCs and no spice navigators in a mobile fishtank.

I thought the intro shots of Alia were laying the groundwork for that.

I thought this too, I was expecting a callback later in the film when the Emperor and his army arrive. Would have been cool to see a similar shot and when you think "WTF is up with that baby!?" you see its swirling in melange and its a navigator folding space! Cut to emperors orb coming out of a highliner. But alas!

BastardySkull posted:

They can't use lasguns with a shielded thopter flying around.


I think the poster meant the part about the fact that the fremen could have just blown up the harvester at a distance with lasguns, even with a shielded ornithopter flying around. But yeah, instead of seeing the ground assault/'thopter fight, they would have exposed themselves to fire and you cant shoot that guy down with lasguns or risk big bada-boom
