Hmm what? I hope this is actually a copy of Jadorowskys Dune book, seems like a lot for something that's not the original, and why burn it? https://economicleft.com/2022/01/17/nft-cryptobros-paid-3-million-for-a-dune-book-assuming-that-they-bought-the-copyright-too/

Yeah, it was supposed to auction for ~$26,000USD but these cryptobros paid $2.6MUSD because they thought it gave them the rights; like going to Barnes & Nobel and buying a copy of Jurassic Park gives me the rights to make a new, commercial JP film.  https://twitter.com/TheSpiceDAO/status/1482404318347153413?s=20

It's an interesting story, they know they don't own the rights, but their goal was to take this almost mythical art book and share as much of it they could. The animation piece is more of a fan film animatic than anything else. I can't bring myself to condemn an effort to take something perceived jealously guarded and make it free to view for all, even if the irony is pretty heavy coming from NFT bros. The probably should have checked to see that someone had put the entire book for free online over a decade ago.

Cryptobros spending a pile of money, thinking that they're buying intellectual property when they're not? I'm not surprised.

It was a flex, they believed if they showed that the concept had this kind of revenue behind it it would generate interest from other investors.

For all we know, some other rich idiots were bidding against them.

Link to the scans from the book that have been around for a while e: it was also proposed that they burn the book after to increase the value of the NFTs  crypto people are very loving stupidAlso this Famethrowa posted:thye could have bought it for a 20 thousand tho lmao CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Jan 19, 2022 |

Lynch would be both hilarious and honestly great for the role, but there's absolutely no way he would ever do it.

Danny DeVito should be the emperor, like imagine his delivery of "Bring me that floating fat man, the Baron!"

Hey, Odrade. You look different. I'm more confident. I've grown into my body. You're sure showing a lot of skin, huh? Jealous? I'm a woman now. I'm not a virgin anymore. Cool. Thank you. Okay.

vessbot posted:Eating scenes in D U N C rivaling mafia movies I've said before, but a LOT about feudal power structures makes sense when you realise they work almost exactly the same way as the Mafia, and are often directly related. (or at least, both are based on the Roman Empire's norms) Vaguely related; one of the big themes of Dune that's almost too on the nose but rarely noted is dehumanisation, the reduction of thinking, feeling human beings to their raw utility, and the results of that when people forget they're still human on top of all that. From the Bene Gesserit's breeding programs to the Suk doctor, everything with the gholas, mentats... not even getting into the big irony that the Butlerian Jihad clearly backfired in the worst possible ways as 'machine thinking' without machines was taken to its most horrific logical conclusion. It flows very well into the 'space feudalism' themes, given under such a system people are explicitly reduced to resources and functions; most people are serfs who exist to labour, women exist to bear children, soldiers exist to make war. The Bene Gesserit explicitly exploit such a system by appealing to its base impulses encouraged in its ruling class, but even they are big offenders.

Just finished Messiah and I guess this is as good a place as any to ask. How did Paul not predict the stone burner, at least not until it was too late to get out of dodge?

I really struggled to get much out of those last two books. The first four are freakin' amazing though, and I would strongly recommend anyone get through God Emperor. After that ehhhh it's up to you.

That's a very good answer. Paul can't make himself do the thing he needs to do. Being a willing victim of the plan against him is the only way out.

This is spoiler for much later in the series - but prediction locks in the future, negating free will to the point that even the pearls of awareness in the sandworms that come from Leto II are enough to keep humanity constrained until Dune gets turned into a marble.
