But it looked better than the later version! I guess the colors of such uniforms could mimic the desert. I would kept the soldiers uniforms reminiscing of Mussolini's black shirt fascist group. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37102610 I always confuse the participle of bear with the one of "born".. borne? "Must've borne"? |

Ninja G User ID: 11165281 United States 03/31/2013 12:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think the main problem was fitting a novels worth of story into a movie without it being 8 hours long. I would like to see a modern day remaking of Dune but not as a 2 hour movie, it should probably be a 3D animated series of films or maybe an ongoing television series or miniseries. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1166331 Canada 03/31/2013 01:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If there is one movie that deserves an awesome remake it is DUNE! More references from the series that can be looked at: "Other Memories" in the Bene Gesserit can be likened to mtDNA - awakening the memories of female lineage. Bashar Teg's superhuman metamorphosis (and his training in martial arts). Sheeana, return of the worm riders (second coming or prophetess - female?). God emperor fusing with another life form to extend life for thousands of years. Machine crusade and AI (Bhutlerian jihad). Prohibition on atomics (nukes). So many facets in Herbert's books that make it the ultimate Sci Fi series. Also raises so many questions. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1166331 That and DMT hallucinogen FX is something important and if you ever heard Jodorowsky you'll understand his interest. The actress S. Young who played in DUNE and was the female replicant whom Deckard loves, said Lynch was a guy interested in his private life into meditation and also inspired her in that path. This makes me think in the film ALTERED STATES in which scientist intaking mescalito and hallucinogen mushrooms floats in that immersion tank completely isolated from external noise. Floats in salt water and gets back in time even having a proto-man metamorphosis and becoming energy beyond the barriers of time. Makes me think in a wonderful film that was never done: Return to the Apes, produced by James Cameron and written & directed by Oliver Stone, starred by Schwarzenegger. The trip to Ice Age and 100.000 years TO THE PAST was not gonna be via spaceship but using DNA and geneticist Will Robinson (a fake name because he felt "lost in space" after casualties and dead people using that system) would decode the virus that would create doom on earth: babies being born with a disease like being old people. A virus spreading in the whole planet. It seems obvious to me, after reading the plot, the producers and script writers of RISE of the Planet of the Apes, borrowed a lot from that script. |

I just threw out a bunch of the weird associations that I came up with reading the DUNE series, mtDNA being an insight after studying archaeology and genetics. Remember the futars? More DNA / cross species allusion. DUNE is more than a simple allegory for war with the ME, that's for damn sure and a series that is without peer IMO. And memories - I used to watch classic Planet of the Apes with my dad! Loved RISE too. |

R.I.P. for the real Wubbo Ockels. He was a true icon of my country, and a great front-fighter for sustainable energie/technology and humanism. "Yes, we have hurdles, we have distractions, we have disasters, personally and world-wide, and we do have to work it all out ourselves. BUT, there is a most amazing experience awaiting us on the other end of the finish-line. The idea being, once we can handle it all down here, then we can live and explore eternally, responsibly, because we know what not to do, and not be resentful about being responsible, so we don't start a polarity domino effect in the other realms of existence." "The Fraction" of Life can be increased in value not so much by increasing your Numerator as by lessening your Denominator. Nay, unless my Algebra deceive me, Unity itself divided by Zero will give Infinity." Thread: LADIES & GENTLEMEN: I PRESENT to YOU OUR NEW SUN !! |

Comatose / butchered females being the tanks they replicated themselves in. Also synthesized spice, produced in tanks. Honored Matures using tantric sex to bind males, also being a cross species. Deadly martial arts techniques. I'm quite enjoying this thread! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37203550 Brazil 03/31/2013 03:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | makes me think about Mathew genealogy of Christ including some women with dubious history. Genesis account suggests the real sin of the snake was not a lie because God confirms everything stated by this seraphim winged-snake "hanashash" (not a literal snake "nahash"). The thing done by that dragon original snake was done with Eve..begetting Cain. So the names of genealogy comparing Cain and Seth switch the names of fathers with children but are very similar except changing some letters/numbers here and there. There are two Lamech, one being avanged 77 times or generations while the other lives 777 years; two Enoch, one Enosh, one Jared and other Irad (which is also wrong translation because letter "j" was invented 1600 years after Christ and coming from letter "i", hence the dot above the letter and the setting right together, abcdefgh..I..J), because in Middle Ages people turn the tail of the "i" or iota to the left, hence 'j'. So that Jared was merely Iared. There' one Cainan or little Cain. In a nutshell GENESIS WAS HIDING THE MOTHER SIDE OF THE LINEAGE RELATED WITH THE REPTILE SPIRITUAL SERAPHIM. |

Regarding Genesis, I speculate that God maybe delegated the creation of mankind to some of His higher angels, perhaps with certain parameters, which resulted in our various races of human. "Let us create man in our image", yes? Not a big deal, but not out of the question, for me, anyhow.) |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 37203550 Brazil 03/31/2013 03:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tantric sex indeed. Who was the first teaching that to men? Isaaiah mentions Lillith in a context about goat-men demons or satyres. Leviticus mentions the scapegoat in the desert as a sacrifice to Azazel. Me thinks Samael taught these things prior to the coming of the alien male creatures who materialized and had intercourse with earthly women. I don't know if DUNE books have any reference to these things. |
