Children of Dune 

Wäre in Rot vielleicht noch besser gekommen, das hätte was diabilosches!

soll ja nicht diabolisch sein, sondern eben Sci-Fi-mäßig im Sinne von Frank Herbert's Buchzyklus Dune!

I sometimes dream of blue contact lenses. Do you know how they did it in the movie?

Honestly I have no clue! Do you refer to the Lynch movie or the newer TV mini-series?!

you're frighten your white rabbitzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

no need to be frightened, little rabbit! The spice must flow ;)

You are too Dune fan? :)

I am a DIE-HARD Dune fan :)

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars
She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours
Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of
Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

Oh, lovely reminder of this nostalgic song :)

Nice photo, is that the latest in Bene Gesserit fashion? :-)

I saw the Lynch version of Dune when it was released in theaters. This many years later, there is still a small part of me that is seething mad about paying money for that. As an adaptation, the movie is a double failure: incomprehensible to people who have not read the books, and a betrayal to almost anyone who did read the books. The visual aesthetics of the movie were good, though.

I watched the DVD box set of the TV series just a few weeks ago. I found the series more true to the books, even though some significant departures were made. I can even live with the Irulan side-story. I liked the Italian-renaissance style of rivalry between the House Corrino and the Atreides. I had never thought of Dune that way and I thought that was an interesting insight.
The fight scenes with the silly spring-loaded Fremen jumping out of the sand were a little reminiscent of the worst aspects of the Lynch movie, but I let it pass... :-)

Hmmm, I am partially d'accord and partially not! I did NOT like the additions to the Lynch movie like the sound driven weapons etc., but I DID thoroughly like the "Emperial Design", thought it utterly fitting for Herbert's novel. The movie was too short which forced them to a lot of adaptations, but I liked the overall design. The miniseries had a lot more of time to devote to the development of characters and story, but I disliked most of the main characters and ever so often, whenever there were "external" scenes, it became way too obvious that they were shooting in a shitty tiny studio. That was a huge problem for me, given how important the idea of the desert and desert scenes are and then you see a poorly done matte painting and some shovels of sand in a studio ;)

I love the movie, espacially the arousal scene which still gives me the creeps after all the whispering in the first half!

Maybe it's time I rented the Lynch version and gave it another whirl. Anyway it was fun reminiscing about the Old Spice :-)

Is this where I get to make the Spice Girl gag again? ;)
