ultrabindu posted:https://yadi.sk/i/kciUCmMSiRhHS I watched the first hour of some insanely long fan cut and I think a lot of the stuff that was cut should have stayed cut. The one I watched was a lot better edited than the one you linked, though, which jumps all over the drat place. The original theatrical cut is excellent if you've read the books; the stuff that was cut tries to explain things you'd need to know if you hadn't read the books, but it fucks up the flow.

moller posted:The theatrical cut is far and away the best although some of the cut scenes are amazing, such as the baby worm vending machine. As I posted above I agree 100% that the theatrical version is best but if you could tell me where to find the baby worm vending machine... goddamn.

Jack-Off Lantern posted:Are there any good audio book versions if the trilogy and god emperor? I'm a dune virgin and I want those worms inside me. Through my ears Don't put the book through a layer of someone else's interpretation; just read the fucker. I know a lot of goons have a weird aversion to actually reading a book but Dune is a weird and complex book with lots of internal monologue (and internal dialogue), quotes from fictional texts, etc. that I think you'd be best served getting a for real paper book. ovenboy posted:Which version of the Lynch movie should I watch?

phasmid posted:Leto's cart is like a splendid streamlined tank with fabulous bulges and curves for hidden sensors and other equipment he uses on a day to day basis. "Imperial rascal" is actually a p fitting term, since he's got everything on it for when he's on the go (except hopefully he doesn't have a miniature Atreides flag - that would look tacky). He also has lil wipers to buff out all the blood spatter from ghola assassins. I've assumed the metal parts are bronze-colored, both because it's a desert color and because it evokes the sort of ancient feel of a God-Emperor. I'd imagine there's a lot of obfuscation like extra controls that never get used just to hide that there's almost certainly an Ixian computer inside handling most poo poo.

If Paul wasn't a Mary Sue, he wouldn't be the Kwisatz Haderach. It's not like you're reading a story set in modern America except the protagonist is Paul; it's already a universe populated by exceptional people (Mentats, Bene Gesserit, Guild Navigators, Tleilaxu). Paul is the result of an incredibly long breeding program by the Bene Gesserit, who already train mostly normal women into "witches" who can move with superhuman speed & strength, precisely control their own body functions, rearrange chemical structures of things they have ingested, and see the memories of all their female ancestors.

phasmid posted:One of my favorite parts of God Emperor is where Siona takes Duncan to a small sietch to see what happens when he meets family sired by his predecessor. It was especially moving that Siona felt badly afterward and Duncan forgave her. It would be pretty hard to get over some poo poo like that, you'd think. I just read through that section and the thing I had to keep reminding myself is that it isn't a sietch, it's just a little village out among orchards and farmland.

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:i want to see another attempt but it has to be like an old-school epic. lavish sets and costuming, the entire thing filmed on 70mm film, entr'acte and minimum one intermission, thousands of extras trucked out into the desert, and the studio nearly goes bankrupt trying to finish the movie. Directed by Cecil DeMille, with Orson Welles as the Baron and maybe Charlton Heston as Duke Leto. Lynch's film already gave us some pretty old-school sets and matte paintings, though.

Liquid Dinosaur posted:Well of course it's not "Catholics" like today. The only religion that still exists in a completely recognizable form and isn't a weird mishmash is Judaism. Also, the word "catholic" means universal or all-encompassing, which would be an appropriate name for a religion designed to incorporate many/all existing religions: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/catholic

basic hitler posted:He basically resolved to trade the Duke's life, went out of his way to help Paul and Jessica, and then commenced with doing the thing to try and kill the Baron. His conditioning wasn't broken so much as he loved his bene gesserit girlfriend so much he wanted revenge more than he wanted to keep the Duke alive. I've always imagined the conditioning as a super-Hippocratic Oath programmed into the doctor's mind like the loving First Law of Robotics, so for him to betray the Duke would seem to imply it was broken in some fashion. That or, like in Asimov's robot stories, Yueh mentally lawyered himself into it: lowering the house shields is not the same as killing the Duke himself, etc.
