paul (sleeping): "arrakis! dune! desert planet!" feyd-rautha (grinning): "i will kill you!" paul (sleeping, excited ): "THE SECOND MOON!"
is the fact of a second moon ever mentioned again or even slightly plot-relevant?
― mark s, Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:30 (two years ago) link
muad'dib is the second moon of arrakis, named after the shadow of a mouse on its surface, no?

god i love this tremendously goofy movie
it has nearly no momentum at all (every exciting scene broken up by three difft ppl whispering at themselves)

In that respect it is true to life.

"In our modern era of cookie cutter blockbusters, Dune stands as a glorious oddity worthy of reconsideration."
No it doesn't, fuck you.

True, it's simply a classic film that should be studied and used as the basis for an exciting new era of Lynchian sci-fi blockbusters.

there are some amazing, memorable bits from it
I don’t think the producers gave Lynch the support he needed, having not tackled anything of that scale, and it shows. but the visuals, casting, and scenes that work are cool
