Yesterday goon saphojunkie texted me thisquote:You guys I just walked out of DC comics and as I'm walking to my car I hear some dude scream yeah! Like really excited, and I turned around and it's Jason Momoa with double fists in the air walking out of DC with his agent behind him and a huge poo poo eating grin. So whatever is happening… Expect more Aquaman. Or maybe Bullet to the Head 2 just got greenlit lol I guess Momoa is excited about this. Maybe he takes it seriously. edit: oh I should mention Legendary, CBSi and DC are all in the same mega building. kiimo fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Feb 15, 2019 |

It’s also extra confusing because Herbert wrote different interpretations of the religion taking into account the characters writing the history. So like if that analysis of Paul’s religion is by a religious person they interpret his prophecy as metaphysical even if Paul was just manipulating the missionary protectiva. Its kind of genius of Herbert to create a situation where it could be either.

The thing that Herbert didn't even realize is that the Tleilaxu are decedents of incels.

I'm curious to see how they handle all the internal monologue and the abstract concepts like the Golden Path. Do they just make it a cool action movie or do they risk losing an audience with the whole "the water of life connected my mentat training to my bene gesserit training and now my mind is a super computer that can see all possible paths thereby perceiving the future and all roads end in the extinction of all life thanks to those bene tleilax fucks creating a super self-aware hunter seeker that will destroy all organic life so now I need either me or my son to become a tyrant for 3500 years just to guide humanity in a 3 millennia renaissance festival just to make sure that doesn't happen also sandtrout are cool watch my kid turn into a gigantic worm, take that dennis rodman, whom no one remembers but me" because I'm not sure how that will translate on screen.

Some of the series' cast were good (Liet, Jessica, adult Alia) but if they weren't good they were loving atrocious. Also don't hire a French fashion designer to do the costumes ever again. That also would have ruined Jodorowski's Dune, btw.  This poo poo right here.

The country's history of getting poo poo on by every powerful empire right next to them throughout history has embedded the people's faces with a certain weariness and war-torn nihilism that translates well to the Landsraad.

Schadenboner posted:"Good" is a really relative term? They made Princess Irulan an actual character which (while I understand the desire to make her something more than the furniture she is in the first book) was sort of She had a pretty substantial role in the books, too, if I remember. She is probably responsible for Chani's death, abandons the bene gesserit and raises Leto II and Ghanima. Also basically writes Dune.

Also God Emperor and Heretics are extremely philosophy-heavy but the action kicks way the gently caress up in Chapterhouse with some original Dune-ish action moments that rock. mentat projection: I am moving at dangerous speed

Just know that 1 is possibly the best sci fi adventure novel ever written and the other 5 are very different and still engaging and interesting but in a completely different and way more cerebral way. edit: and the other novels around it are corpse-raping® poo poo.

Tree Bucket posted:except that it always leaves me craaaaaving a shower and a big glass of mineral water. Is it the same for everyone, or just for those of us who live on the edge of deserts already? When I first read Dune especially during the love scenes I am imagine that every freman who comes back from the desert at night takes off their stilsuit and steps into a pressure sealed water vapor blast shower that cleans them without wasting a drop. Other times I imagine their stilsuit was so effective in removing water that it also removed all impurities and kept people fresh and clean underneath. This is the only way I can not barf every time I think of what they smell like.

Before he died Frank did a bunch of college talk tours. I really wish I had been old enough to go to one. He apparently had a very weird high voice so I don't think anyone wanted an audio book read by him.

Apparently it had majestic ceilings in all the sets but they couldn't get the cameras to pan up and they were completely wasted. There's a whole world above them we never see. And then he goes and makes Paul create rain for some reason. The very best Dune movie is in there somewhere. I hope Dennis borrows a lot from it and completely ignores some of the atrocities of the mini series. Like the reverend mother saying "that's right child...PRAY!" when he starts reciting the litany on fear. Like...wtf. Mohaim wasn't loving sadistic when she gave him the gom jabbar test.

He was the best Feyd but they didn't do justice to his character. They could have had a metamorphosis of him turning twisted by, among other things, having to murder every girl in the pleasure wing.

I asked for one single solitary spoiler. It's a description of the opening scene and a very brief description. I won't say what it is but it sounds very very promising.

Son of Sam-I-Am posted:Can you give us any vague ideas? Like why is it promising? Lean and muscular, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen hunched forward next to the ornithopter pilot. He peered with spider-black eyes through the pitted windowplaz, smelling the ever-present grit and sand. As the armored 'thopter flew high overhead, the white sun of Arrakis dazzled against unrelenting sands. The sweeping vista of dunes sizzling in the day's heat made his retinas burn. The landscape and sky were bleached of color. Nothing soothed the human eye. Hellish place.

I know Paul never folded space, the threat of ending spice production alone was enough to freak the Guild out and thoroughly do whatever he wanted. I think Leto used the Guild for a while but part of his Golden Path was reducing space travel and forcing humanity into a Renaissance middle ages Pleasure Faire kind of existence so there wasn't much space folding to be done. I'm not sure where no-ships fall into this sort of thing but I don't remember the Guild being part of that. Also I found it very uncomfortable that there was a Guild navigator involved in the wanna be plot in Children against Leto II and he was a whiny bitch that the others looked down on.
