Hans Zimmer putting the Atreides leitmotif in Gurney Halleck’s doomed charge at the Sardukar AND in his charge at Glossu Rabban indicating he’s so loyal to the Atreides that they’re part of him….. Oscar for best soundtrack or we riot

Watching Chani call a sand worm at the end of dune really did something to me… like she just accomplished a planetary military coup which ended with her boyfriend getting engaged to another girl and she’s just calling her Uber home and trying to hold back tears… like I’ve been there and i understand how she feels even though her exact experience is clearly so far from mine, that’s fucking cinema!!! Heartbreak feels good in a place like this…



bookhobbit:

Rincewind was so right about how boredom is a luxury actually. He was so right about wanting to peacefully catalogue the rocks previous Cruel and Unusual Geographers collected. He was so right be like “a desk job for me, thanks”



arduennas:

the most important reason for making almost 6 hours of dune movies is to show paul riding a huge sandworm and denis villeneuve fucking delivered



ripley-stark:

i feel like people are intimidated by the dune books because they’re kind of old and thicc of worldbuilding but if you have any inkling at all to try it, i think you should. you can read it along with a movie marathon or do an audiobook at double-speed. frank herbert is an incredibly cinematic and vivid writer. i find him much easier and timeless to read than a lot of his contemporaries and successors in the genre.

denis villeneuve really understands the books. i read the first around 6 or 7 years ago, and there are shots of the movie(s) where i still distinctly remember the exact wording. the image is seared in my mind and it matches what villeneuve brought to the screen. i know art is subjective but i honestly cannot wrap my head around the idea that someone else could be considered the best working director of our time

Thank you for putting into words, the things I feel watching Dune.

My nayme is bird
And wen it’s Yule
And Swedish snow
Lies cold and cruel
I look for seeds
With many friends
But food is scarce
Where flock descends

But then we hear
Of ancient rite
We leave the trees
We all take flight
If fire not
Its end promote?
We do the deed.
We eat the goat.

Aye, Caesar, but not gone.

He was investigated by the secret service for this joke

Which makes it SO much funnier

I Have Reread Seven Murderbot Books In A Small Number Of Days, and Am Now Completely Insane About The Following Non-Exhaustive List Of Things (in no order)–

  • let’s start with the fact the first book is almost ENTIRELY a letter from Murderbot to Mensah. it’s 40,000 words. Murderbot, you are an emotionless robot for SURE.
  • Pin-Lee. Just in general. no, also, the main character of Sanctuary Moon is also a lawyer with increasingly bizarre problems. hello. (why did they take a LAWYER on a planetary survey??)
  • Amena tells ART and Murderbot, in case they didn’t know, that they’re having a baby. They didn’t know.
  • AMENA. sixteen years old and whiny teenager who isn’t like her annoying genius family who don’t understand her NO ONE UNDERSTANDS. spends rest of book being brave and competent and mighty. whatever.
  • Amena’s little sister! I wish we had a name for her but I like Murderbot calling her Small Human, also it shows her the video she wants to see but scrubs out all the gore and violence (it doesn’t care though humans are stupid)
  • never wanted fanart of anything so much as Murderbot, upon hearing Mensah startled by a journalist and drop a bottle of almond milk, jump over Ratthi’s head, run 100m down a corridor, scream at the journalist and catch the bottle of almond milk. (aside: that story breaks my heart. you see her from Murderbot’s POV as a leader of men. compassionate and brilliant and a diamond under pressure. and from her own POV she’s screaming and she can’t stop.)
  • not that all cops are bastards, only that after a meeting with them Mensah tries to persuade her partners, kids and siblings that they should give up on humanity, move to an uninhabited continent and take up new careers in soil reclamation
  • ART, when its blorbos die in its shows. The bot equivalent of staring at the wall for seven and a half minutes. HI ART.
  • “I came for our mutual friend.” jesus. It picks her up and saves her and lets her hug it. She tells it fear and anger are the enemy. (and then the crew freak out at the woman who stood down a homicidal killer robot by glaring at it.) (I love Mensah the most. no one knew this.)
  • Amena’s parents are two probably normal people plus a planetary leader and a sentient killer robot
  • ART finds out Mensah is coming aboard and shouts at everyone to start cleaning (ART you’re so neurotic)
  • ART and its sister Iris
  • ART and Murderbot are having a baby (I know I did that one already)
  • Round Here We Save The World Through The Power of Documentary Filmmaking
  • Mensah.
