ASK MAUD'DIB (FORMERLY KNOWN AS CAN WE TALK ABOUT DUNE, DEAN?)

the production design is just THERE. it's amazing, it's intricate, somebody (or many people speaking lots of different languages) spent enough time on it that it really seems to inhabit another world, with its own conventions, the same thing that the old star wars movies did right. Giger's not that great IMO, dude draws the same nasty looking shit 50000x over and people call him brilliant because the first drawing he did was scary as fuck? whatevs I'll take an Y-wing or a spice harvester over his bullcrap any day of the week. This is not to say that the Pilot of the Derelict is not a completely bad ass piece of "I am the artist who will own your movies forever."

anyhoo how did virginia madsen's brother turn out looking such a thug srsly

i dunno he looks better and seems more agreeable than his evil semi-doppleganger tom sizemore

madsen that is not giger

At the humane society on saturday, they had a little fuzzy shibu inu-looking puppy named "Usul."

Dune Movie Remake! It's a "reboot" of Lynch's film version.

Artist Paul Pope did a couple comic pages of what his Dune would look like. I'd die for a full adaptation:

weird, I just saw a dune hardcover for $7.99 at borders the other day and thought my son is a good dune age now so I should get it for his birthday and then I tried to remember if I had read any of the sequels and all I could remember was the awesome cover of this one and then this thread reappeared

orig hardcover was cool too

I think I heard if you read past book 1, you really need at least 4 to get another complete story. Is that about right?

i read dune a year ago. i should probably read it again

ok this looks like a gigantic turd upon which someone has lovingly crafted a sullen face

She pulled away her mask and moved her face to within a handsbreadth of his. A finger came up and touched one of the curled flaps of his cowl.

"Stroke it gently," he said.

Her hand obeyed not his voice but something from within her.

loooool

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

it is perhaps better that you die

if you're prescient how come you keep fucking up? more like golden shower than golden path amirite?

He knows he's going to fuck up, fucking up is part of the path. That was always the downside of prescience - once you've seen it you have fixed it in place and have to live it. That's why Darwi Odrade tries not to use her Atreides prescience to sneak a peak in Chapterhouse.

not true! leto saw arafel and he made that impossible!

i am reading the book for the first time right now, o man
