I thought you guys said these Dune books were serious sci-fi.
Who said that? they are space operas like star wars lol.
its space fantasy.
Sixties guy trying to show how far into the future the book is and avoid direct associations with earth rn
>durrrr wat
it's soft sci fi
Is Dune 84 worth a watch? I saw it as a kid but couldn't get into it.
>main threat after the scattering is obviously independent Face Dancers
>LOL NOPE...it’s a super computer
What was Paul Atreides' tax policy? Did he lead a campaign of extermination of the Harkonnen? Did he slaughter the little sardaukar babies in their little sardaukar craddles?
Just watched it for the first time the other day its a fucking mess, pure cringe kino
Brian Herbert's cashin 'prequels' aren't canon.
kek
I didn't understand a single word from this scene except that Lynch clearly loves Night of The Hunter
Narrated prologues are the dumbest, clumsiest, laziest way to set the scene for a movie. (Yes Hackson, I'm looking at you.)
I like how they keep fading Irulan in and out, just so they can edit her aimless rambling.
Replied to the wrong post, but at least you got a (You). Here's another, free of charge.
>posting Pinky & The Brain's Dune fanfics
The opening to Fellowship was fucking kino.
>Did he lead a campaign of extermination of the Harkonnen?
Yes
>Did he slaughter the little sardaukar babies in their little sardaukar craddles?
The Sardaukar were prisoners. They were all adults.
If I could strangle Brian Herbert to death I would
That's from Frank Herbert's hack son's books.
Thanks for this small burst of dopamine!
>I turned myself into a sand worm Gurney
serious sci-fi
Great, saving that for later.
It was fucking endless, boring and unnecessary. The wonder is that half the audience didn't walk out of the theatre.
This.
>CGI=="kino"
You are everything that's wrong with modern audiences.
LotR opening works precisely because it's not just a narration. They told only what they couldn't show.
So which fan edit of Dune should I watch for maximum kino? I know there are like 90 minutes of extra deleted scenes that many fans edited into new movies.
Problem with his son's works is they're written by someone who really did not understand the kind of book Dune was. It's like he went out of his way to destroy any mysticism and just outright explain literally everything.
if you want to know what happens after Chapterhouse, you can read the two books his son wrote that complete the story, but don't go into them expecting them to be anywhere near as good as Frank's books
dont bother with any of the "prequels" tho, they suck
Which books are them?
Hunters of Dune (2006) and Sandworms of Dune (2007)
There really is no way to avoid it in Dune.
>I thought DUNE was hard sci-fi what the fuck fellow redditors
>quotes something not from dune
DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>deleted scenes that many fans edited into new movies
They're jarring as fuck, and completely wreck any sense of immersion.
No post-production work was done on them, and the sound in particular is usually terrible.
I tried reading House Atreides and gave up halfway through. It's just horrendously bad.
watch that 3 hour cut it's pretty kino
Pretty sure the scenes are finished visually
