In regards to the whole lasgun versus shields thing, it was mentioned in the first book that the reason nobody uses it as a weapon is because the reaction is completely random. You could have a gigantic atomic level explosion, or it could just blow up the person wearing the shield and the lasgun user. The one time Duncan Idaho does it, it just happens to cause the giant explosion.

Jiro Kage posted:Zardoz is the pinnacle of Sean Connery’s acting career, definitely. ... He actually did that movie after the bond movies, for some insane reason. He supposedly did Zardoz because it was literally the only script his agent brought him that wasn't just some knock off Bond spy movie.

Its been forever since I've seen it but IIRC the movie also leaves out a kind of neat part from the end where during the fracas with the Emperor's forces there's a quick description of a Guild Navigator holding a hand over an eye and Paul sees that he's lost a contact lens because the eye is like solid blue.

Looking at Amazon and it's kind of funny how they sell a bundle of the series but only the original books. Also saw that one of the son books had (Dune Universe book 18) after the title. That's too many loving trash sequels.

I was rereading Dune Messiah with some of the movie casting in mind and Jason Momoa as Duncan makes a lot of sense.

YoursTruly posted:I've only read the first book, but did Paul or Leto II ever fold space? Folding space isn't a thing that Guild Navigators can do, they still use a machine. It's just that they can use their ability to see the future in such a way that they can lock in a future that makes sure the highliner arrives at the destination.

Milkfred E. Moore posted:
My go to thing is how in the first prequel book he wrote for some reason he had the thing that killed the Old Duke (Paul's grandfather) be a weird alien instead of what was clearly just a regular rear end bull from the first novel. Like Dune never explicitly says that it was a bull but it is pretty clear in context that it wasn't some bug.

They talk about it having horns and that the Old Duke died in the bullfighting ring so yeah, he probably didn't think he needed to say that it was a bull.

You would think that outside of the sandworms there are no "alien" creatures in the book would tell Brian something but nope.

basic hitler posted:i know a girl who loves dune, including all the brian/kja stuff and she refuses to consider them as non canon nor the validity of any claims that those books are nothing at all like frank's or that his failson had no business writing them My dad is also really bad about this. He loves Dune and just likes that there are more books and doesn't really distinguish between the two. He's also 65 and a pretty uncritical reader. His other books are mostly crap mil-fiction.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:What was Paul's Jihad even about? Forcefully converting people to Zensunni from all the other Islamo-Buddhist/Christo-Hindu faiths? From rereading Dune Messiah recently the impression I got was that a lot of the Jihad was Paul consolidating his power seeing as even by the events of that book he hadn't actually done so yet.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:When are we going to see production pictures of Harkonnen, dammit. This is from a couple of pages back but Stellan Skarsgard gave an interview a couple of weeks ago and mentioned that he hasn't filmed his part yet. Also sounds like they aren't going to expand the parts with the Baron because he says he's only scheduled to film for two weeks.

He's also wearing a fat suit so that probably cuts down on how much actual filming time they're going to do in a day.
