[Dune] Fuck it. All my plants fell through today so I'm watching it now
dragon time
plants,
Gabiluzbad
plants
Tonberry King
rip your plants
Gabiluzbad
also my plans
Gabiluzbad
Sci-Fi media should be more willing to just be and look fucking weird
Gabiluzbad
ah
Gabiluzbad
that's why people keep calling it Dunc
Gabiluzbad
Paul Atreides is very pretty
Gabiluzbad
I remember Duncan being a badass
Quinneapolis
he is that
Gabiluzbad
I read like
Gabiluzbad
I think 2/3rds of the book
Gabiluzbad
20 odd years ago
Gabiluzbad
god it's so quiet
quintessence
Paul is too damn pretty
quintessence
"He is the Kwisatz Haderach*"
*tn: Kwisatz Haderach means femboy
Gabiluzbad
Harkonens are bad
Gabiluzbad
apparently
Gabiluzbad
When is a gift not a gift
Gabiluzbad
Ah these are the Bene Gesserit
Gabiluzbad
ah
Gabiluzbad
the box
Quinneapolis
the box scene stuck in my head for decades
Gabiluzbad
The like
Gabiluzbad
early 2000s version of Dune had htis scene
Gabiluzbad
and the box actually showed his hand dissolving and rotting
Gabiluzbad
and like, it was an illusion, his hand was fine
ArtIsArt
I remember that!
Gabiluzbad
it was kind of heavy handed but it was strong
Gabiluzbad
this is a heavy handed story
Gabiluzbad
only I will remain
quintessence
heavy handed, you say
Gabiluzbad
The wordplay was not intentional but it was noticed
Gabiluzbad
"Goodbye, young human."
Gabiluzbad
"I hope you live."
Gabiluzbad
that's a hell of a line
Gabiluzbad
I love the bene gesserit
Gabiluzbad
they fucking
Gabiluzbad
made up a prophecy
Gabiluzbad
so that if ever any of them were stuck on Arrakis
Gabiluzbad
she would be protected
Gabiluzbad
she'd have a ROLE
Gabiluzbad
their plans are measured in centuries
Gabiluzbad
the Atreides ship takes off from underwater
Gabiluzbad
to a place where there is no water
Gabiluzbad
these ships hang in the air in exactly the way bricks don't
PolyaMixedNuts
quintessence : may I quote you on that?
Gabiluzbad
God the spaceships don't look like spaceships
Gabiluzbad
I love it
Gabiluzbad
They're just like shapes that hover in the sky
PolyaMixedNuts
re: kwisatz femboyerach
Gabiluzbad
~Orinthopter~
Quinneapolis
the core of the appeal of the thopters
Quinneapolis
is when the wings start slowly going up and down
Quinneapolis
and then speed up until they blur
Gabiluzbad
giant dragonflies
Gabiluzbad
"To shower you scrub your ass with sand"
Gabiluzbad
not too hot for palm trees on Arrakis
Gabiluzbad
can't wait to actually see a sand worm
Gabiluzbad
but first Paul has to deal with this little assassin droid
Gabiluzbad
drone is perhaps a better word
Gabiluzbad
he doesn't have his shield on
Gabiluzbad
"I don't give a damn about your honor! You want absolution, go catch some spies!"
Gabiluzbad
the fuck
Gabiluzbad
why doesn't Arakkis have any sattelites
Gabiluzbad
it's the most important planet in the galaxy
Quinneapolis
I think the moon field fucks them up or something
Gabiluzbad
ah
Gabiluzbad
They did mentio nthat
Gabiluzbad
Baron Harkonnen looks VERY unhealthy
Gabiluzbad
but he can fly, apparently
Gabiluzbad
so it's fine
quintessence
Gabiluzbad
spitting at each other
Gabiluzbad
140 degrees jesus fuck
Gabiluzbad
"It is 90 degrees. In 10 minutes it will be 120 degrees"
Gabiluzbad
I always expected spice to be blue
Gabiluzbad
for obvious reasons
Gabiluzbad
you should design your carryalls to have some redundant anchors
Gabiluzbad
if one anchor failing means you lose the entire refinery that's a design flaw
Gabiluzbad
Paul wake up
Gabiluzbad
yes this is what I'm TALKING about
Gabiluzbad
Let shit look WEIRD
Quinneapolis
the audiovisual design of this movie is incredible
Gabiluzbad
the girl from Paul's visions is cute
Gabiluzbad
Sardukar seem like pleasant fellows
Gabiluzbad
The one thought I keep having is that, like
Gabiluzbad
Everything is so AUSTERE
Gabiluzbad
Maybe this is just how dukes and barons live but I can't imagine Leto Atreides brushing his teeth
Gabiluzbad
He lives in grand halls
Gabiluzbad
with maybe one extremely symbolic piece of decoration
Gabiluzbad
someone is here to kill the baron
Gabiluzbad
the duke, rather
Gabiluzbad
and it would appear that they have succeeded
Gabiluzbad
Dr. Yueh!?
Gabiluzbad
the slow missiles
Gabiluzbad
wild
Gabiluzbad
and here coem the Sardukar
Gabiluzbad
they all carry swords because guns are worthless against shields
Gabiluzbad
yup the Sardukar do not fuck around
Gabiluzbad
awww the date trees
Gabiluzbad
Man I guess the Harkonnen are just like
Gabiluzbad
"We're back"
Gabiluzbad
So this whole thing was the emperor just being like
Gabiluzbad
"Harkonnen you would do well to remember that I am still your master"
Gabiluzbad
"And I can take Arakkis from you whenever I please"
Gabiluzbad
"But also"
Gabiluzbad
"Go cut House Atreides down to size a bit"
Quinneapolis
a bit
Gabiluzbad
Duncan just
Gabiluzbad
kills four guys
Gabiluzbad
points at the rest
Gabiluzbad
they're like "Fuck they don't pay us enough for this you can take the Ornithopter"
Gabiluzbad
"TO HELL, DOGS"
Gabiluzbad
can't resist The Voice if you do it right
Quinneapolis
The Voice is such a villain power
Gabiluzbad
right?
Gabiluzbad
I don't think the baron CAN walk anymore
Gabiluzbad
I don't think he's physically capable of it
Gabiluzbad
Also he just got MEGA poisoned
Gabiluzbad
I love the shield effect
Gabiluzbad
because it makes it very obvious when a fight is over
Gabiluzbad
you see red that means someone is fucked
Gabiluzbad
Quinneapolis : you say that the appeal of the ornithopters is the moment of takeoff when the wings start going up and down
magnet
the shield effect is really good yeah
Gabiluzbad
I say the appeal is when all the wings fall back so they can go into a controlled dive
Quinneapolis
also good
Quinneapolis
the thopters just fucking slap
Gabiluzbad
they really do
Quinneapolis
a great contrast to the floating cylinders and shit of harkonen
Gabiluzbad
the visuals are SO FUCKING GOOD
Quinneapolis
and the SOUND
magnet
yeah as an Audiovisual Experience™ I'm super glad to have seen it in a theater
Quinneapolis
visually they do a great job selling just
Quinneapolis
the sun
Quinneapolis
it's so fucking bright on arrakis
Quinneapolis
arakkis?
Quinneapolis
arrakis
Gabiluzbad
I think Arakkis
Gabiluzbad
But I'm wrong
magnet
arrakis
Gabiluzbad
It is Arrakis
Quinneapolis
that shot early on when you see the ships landing and the background is so white it looks like the shot is a metaphor
Quinneapolis
but that's just how bright it is
Gabiluzbad
the little sandrat
Gabiluzbad
I remember that thing
magnet
ye, the Muad'Dib
Gabiluzbad
Fucking HELL Duncan
Gabiluzbad
Stabbed through the lung
Gabiluzbad
pulls the sword out and kills like six more guys
Gabiluzbad
thumper
Gabiluzbad
AH
Gabiluzbad
she's hitching a ride
Gabiluzbad
but she didn't make it
Gabiluzbad
the Sardaukar got her
Gabiluzbad
wormfood the lot of you
Gabiluzbad
oh if that window breaks you guys are fucked
Gabiluzbad
I feel like your thopter should have more wings than that
Gabiluzbad
wear your damn stillsuit masks
Gabiluzbad
you're breathing out a fortune of water
Gabiluzbad
god they're not wearing stillsuits at all!
Gabiluzbad
ya'll are fucked
Gabiluzbad
okay better
Gabiluzbad
wormwalk seems like it would be extremely tiring
Gabiluzbad
I guess it wouldn't be bad once you got used to it
PolyaMixedNuts
it is, especially on sand
Gabiluzbad
but not as tiring
PolyaMixedNuts
I say, having practiced it every time I went to the beach for the last 29 years
Gabiluzbad
s getting eaten by a sandworm
PolyaMixedNuts
true
PolyaMixedNuts
being vored by a desert daddy leads to the dirt nap
Gabiluzbad
I hate that you said that
PolyaMixedNuts
so do I
Gabiluzbad
hey
Gabiluzbad
there she is
Gabiluzbad
the cute girl from the visions
Gabiluzbad
Is that MJ from MCU spider-man?
Gabiluzbad
No
Gabiluzbad
but they look kind of similar
PolyaMixedNuts
(same actress, yes)
Gabiluzbad
oh so it is
Gabiluzbad
God
Gabiluzbad
I just googled "MCU spidey mj" and it was like "MICHELLE JONES" and I forgot that that was actually the character's name
Gabiluzbad
and assumed that the actress was named Michelle Jonese
Gabiluzbad
Jones
Gabiluzbad
But hey, I was right
Gabiluzbad
it is her
Gabiluzbad
WEAR
Gabiluzbad
YOUR DAMN
Gabiluzbad
MASKS
Gabiluzbad
I feel like it's the pandemic on this planet too
Gabiluzbad
But instead of covid they catch dehydration
Quinneapolis
secret covid mask PSA
Gabiluzbad
the end
Gabiluzbad
WOW that was wild
