I've never seen the Lynch movie or the miniseries. I'm not sure if I want to.

I once sat in a theater behind a bowling alley to see a local theater production called Michael Bay's Super Mario Armageddon, and in a perfect world this would be an actual Hollywood blockbuster. It was one of funniest and most accurate video game adaptations I have ever seen. After the perfunctory jokes about mario brothers, like on the level of "ha ha, we can only walk to the right", it barreled into Bowser's devious plan where genetic supersoldiers kicked off nuclear destruction. The plan was called OPERATION MUSHROOM CLOUD http://www.citypages.com/arts/mario-and-michael-bay-like-peanut-butter-and-exploding-chocolate-6578956 Lutha Mahtin fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Apr 28, 2020 |

It's pretty cool if he's a Dune nerd. I don't hate the guy or anything, I just always giggle when I run across his name because of the Gladiator plagiarism thing. I don't know if he intentionally copied Holst but the Mars song is one of the most famous classical music pieces ever (!) and I don't understand how nobody involved in the film noticed the similarities. e: Jewmanji posted:What did he plagiarize? it's not clear if he intentionally plagiarized anything, but he seems to "recycle" musical themes between films, and the Gustav Holst foundation sued him at one point because of his score for Gladiator. I am no classical music scholar but I noticed the similarities myself while watching the movie. I don't know if this is the best summary but it gives a general idea: https://youtu.be/cFswFI7fqxU Lutha Mahtin fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Apr 29, 2020 |

A lot of film music (and other types of accompaniment music) is derivative. This is fine because I don't see how someone could honestly fault a composer for playing towards the existing cultural vocabulary of their audience, especially when the music is not the primary element of the work. I just thought it was funny how Zimmer furiously denied that he quoted or referenced Holst in any way when it came to the Gladiator score. I also still think the core thing to remember here is that Zimmer is a Dune nerd. This means that he maybe has been daydreaming for decades about how to put scenes from Dune to music. That's really cool!

Chairman Capone posted:How much of those books were actually Brian Herbert? I always figured it was essentially KJA writing them with Herbert's name on them as the cost of KJA being allowed to write in the universe. the only thing i know about kevin j anderson is that i once read someone describing him as the secular science fiction counterpart to evangelical genre author jerry b jenkins, the guy behind "left behind"

Kurzon posted:From Heretics of Dune, which came out in 1984. I guess by then Frank Herbert realized that the future wouldn't make sense if all machine computers were banned. many religions have banned and restricted technologies, both throughout history and in the present day

Communist Thoughts posted:I'm only on book 3 (it's very boring so far, I kinda liked 2) but wow those horny quotes from the later novels sure are something. clasic sci fi has the combination of it being dominated by super nerdy dudes and also being adjacent to the 1960s

Hodgepodge posted:It might just be projecting what I want to believe, but I'd like to think Herbert would be just as happy to be wrong about this stuff. Even if he'd be easily poisoned by some of the worst memes that emerged after his death. I have always felt like 60s sci-fi commonly had elements like this, where it was hard to pin an author down on an ideological question because their books deliberately put in more than one view on a subject.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Not only does Hans Zimmer reference Brian Enos Prophecy Theme as played by TOTO, I swear there are sequences throughout the movie that sound like they're inspired from the MIDI files of Dune II: Battle For Arrakis. hans zimmer is really good at being "inspired" by musical themes from other sources. he's so good at it that he got sued by the estate of gustav holst for a song in the gladiator soundtrack sounding a bit too much like "mars" from the planets. he is also a huge dune nerd so it wouldn't be too surprising if he is familiar with the games
