basic hitler posted:it's set way after that book, and right as the consequences of leto's actions really start to affect the old imperium. It is pretty weird, and you won't recognize any of the characters (except one or two!) and they contain vivid descriptions of women who have sex so well that they can turn anyone they gently caress into a nearly mindless slave. Haha thats basically an Oglaf strip isnt it. They had Heretics at my school library, it was very popular.

Doon is best Dune. It should be completely terrible (Doon - the Dessert planet! Everything is made of sugar, and the sugar dunes are roamed by fierce giant pretzels! They all seek the mysterious Beer narcotic!) but it's great.

Defiance Industries posted:David Lynch can get away with poo poo like that because he's a great filmmaker. You could give Kevin J. Anderson a point-by-point plot outline of the theoretical Most Perfect Novel Possible and he would fart out another literary abortion because he's a complete hack. Yeah death robots coming back 4000 pages later is a solid plot twist but kja couldn't write a competent shopping list

phasmid posted:Oh right. The gay shock troops. He's not totally off. Non-breeders in ape society are often used for battle but the way he conflates non-breeding males with being gay is archaic as hell. I've always assumed it was a combination of high LGBT suicide rates and some kind of Freudian shemozzle about eros/thanatos

I was reading a dune blog about that dinner party scene and I realised that this: "My son displays a general garment and you claim it's cut to your fit?" is actually a perfectly propos riposte, not a random comment to fit in the code word. That's puzzled me for like 35 years. E: quote:"What the Baron will, I may," Lotto said firmly, striking the desk with his fist. "What I will, the Baron may or may not -- depending on whether I do." sebmojo fucked around with this message at 23:09 on May 1, 2018 |
