I may have mentioned, but when reading Dune I couldn't help but picture Baron Harkonnen as Dr Weird from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I hear it sung to the tune of Felis Navidad.

We need a Dune musical. Walk Without Rhythm as an extremely ironically catchy tune.

I feel like Dune would get a lot more credit for being that sci-fi novel starring a psychic MILF.

I'm kinda afraid to read the sequels to Dune with having been burnt on this stuff before.

For some reason I think I enjoyed the Jessica part of the book more than Paul.

You can really see there where Star Wars took so much influence from Dune. Hell, the Tusken Raiders are basically the equivalent of Fremen.

Like, okay, Leto II's internal hivemind is ruled by someone whose personality predominates over the rest, like with Alia and the Baron. But his is just some completely random Egyptian dude who has no relation to anything beyond being a harsh ruler, who I don't think is ever really mentioned besides once or twice?

He found the Millennium Puzzle.

The worms should be attracted to arrythmical movement, so the Fremen are just one big dance number all the time.

I would totally watch people go and adapt Dune to different places and times like terrible Shakespeare adaptations.

I wrote an unauthorized prequel novel that reveals Jay Gatsby never actually fought in World War I and instead received a letter of marque from the French and used it to raid Ottoman shipping, having many adventures both heroic and romantic. Follow me on Twitter @greatgatsbyauthor

From what I gather that wouldn't really detract from much.

Sure its humour is dated as expected (and as a non-American, slightly incomprehensible without the aid of Wikipedia) but it's still one of my favorite books.

I keep telling you people. 'Walk Without Rhythm' should be the most ironically catching song of the season. Dancing Fremen everywhere.

(I never read Mieville, probably should, but LeGuin and Banks are brilliant and this motherfucker wants to act like they're only well liked because hurr durr the librul media)

Funny thing is Rogue One basically makes it canon that the Death Star was based on the same technology as lightsabers and uses the same components.

The first planet in Starlink: Battle for Atlas has a lot of Dune references going around, fitting for a desert planet. They never do make things as interesting as Dune itself.

Still hilarious that the most accurate Dune reference/parody I've ever seen is a Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy episode.

Edison was a dick posted:

All Fremen are low-level prescient but their conscious selves deny it except for during the spice orgy.
The Dune tarot means they actually use it, and prescience can block other prescience.
I think the conspirators were bringing it to Arrakis, probably the Bene Gesserit.

It's actually just the latest collectible card game.
