November 30, 20214 yr I think the knife Chani gave Paul was just from a broken tooth. She said it was a tooth from The Great Sandworm [INSERT NAME]. I assume it was just found and not that they managed to kill it.

December 6, 20214 yr Can we spoiler the book stuff please?Is that really necessary for a book that’s been out like 50 years?
December 6, 20214 yr I guess if you're illiterate the book is not very exciting. Definitely not as exciting as picture books of men in leotards with capes

(not sure if this is the catch-all Dune thread now) https://kotaku.com/dune-spice-wars-is-a-new-real-time-pc-game-1848191140 Nice, I needed a modern Dune game, and the studio behind it is solid. But it's a good reminder of how EA shit all over Westwood.
December 25, 20214 yr Nice, I needed a modern Dune game, and the studio behind it is solid. But it's a good reminder of how EA shit all over Westwood.Yeah, Northgard was great so I have high hopes… even more so if this comes to mobile. Dune II was an all-timer for me… absolutely loved that game!
January 15, 20223 yr More game info. Screenshots and article make it feel more like a Stellaris large-scale empire builder than a StarCraft base+battle game. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2022-01-14-dev-of-upcoming-dune-rts-went-for-cartoonish-art-style-so-looking-at-a-desert-planet-for-hours-on-end-isnt-boring
February 5, 20223 yr I finally finished the book, though I did the last couple hundred pages with an audiobook because I kept falling asleep. The whole thing is here: https://youtu.be/vt6kbepaknU Couple of bookfag questions because I always get distracted during audiobooks: Spoiler Who poisoned Paul? Did they identify anyone specifically? Why was Gurney so convinced that Jessica betrayed Leto? He seemed to change his tune pretty quickly. Who killed Rabban? Was that scene detailed in the book? Great book. Can’t wait for part two of the film. I hope they don’t make it into a trilogy. Edited February 5, 20223 yr by Buzzrock

He was having less and less prescient effect from the spice so he needed to find a new high to see the future of the upcoming battle. He says to Chani and Jessica after he wakes: "One drop of it." - he succeeds at converting it, making him/confirming that he is, the Kwisatz Haderach Gurney (and Hawat) blind acceptance of the planted rumor that Jessica was the betrayer has always been a little weak to me. It is addressed in the book, but feels weak: Piter mentions in his talk with the Baron (as they'r'e teaching Feyd) that they have planted this false story and that the planted source is so strong that it will be believed immediately and will be shocking enough/cause enough confusion to not be ignored or refuted. It is implied that it was accepted at face value by all except Leto and Paul, and obviously not shared with Jessica. Rabban's killing is not shown in the book, Stilgar merely reports that "Rabban, too, is dead" as they report after the big battle that the Baron is dead and the Emperor is bottled up in his ship.

April 5, 20223 yr Finally saw on HBO Max. Never read books and didn’t watch 1984 version so I came in “clean.” Overall I liked it. Probably biggest complaint was the mom whispering most of her lines so I couldn’t understand her. I even had to rewind and switch to subtitles for parts. Looking forward to the second part.

April 5, 20223 yr Florence Pugh and Harry Styles rumored to be joining the cast. Script is done. DV says it’s going to be the biggest challenge of his career.

I love her so much Also Harry Styles is a busy boy now - Dunkirk, his mid-credits scene from Eternals as Starfox (likely setting him up for future roles) and he has two more movies, in addition to the rumored Dune part 2. Somewhere @Bama Chick is very happy.

I agreed that it was one of the worst jobs of sound mixing I have ever heard. I saw it at the theater with high quality sound and then again at home. Not better in either case. The august style of the film overwhelmed the dialogue. But, it still won Best Sound; so what do I know?

Every Nolan movie is impossible to hear, this was not imo. Oscar Isaac’s yells basically every line he has once on Arakis

I don’t think Pugh would sign on to be the scribe/narrator. There is precedent for Alia being portrayed by an older actress. See the Syfy mini-series. Alia will always be a terrifying children of the corn type in my mind. Lynch nailed Alia in the 1984 film.
April 5, 20223 yr Feyd and Irulan would be the most likely. If they have the Fenrings in the second part that could be another possible casting option.
