Bless the Maker and all His Water. Bless the coming and going of Him, May His passing cleanse the world. May He keep the world for his people.
“Mee-mee-mee-mee!”
Ah yes beaker that is the exact sound the sandworm makes before devoring its prey.
And I want them to make the Muppets of Dune…
Oh shit, I mean yeah totally.
Like treasure Island or Christmas Carol?
I can’t get it to work in my head. I’d love it. But so far I know Kermit and Ms. piggy as Paul and Chani.
Sam Eagle for Leto? Pepe would be great as Feyd-Ratha? Idk.
I want it to work badly, but I can’t do it in my head.
If Disney had any sense they would do Muppet versions of their IP instead of those godawful live action remakes. Imagine Phantom Menace - the Muppet version.
Right? Like, that copypasta about a Muppet Beauty and the Beast, where the joke is that the “Beast” is a conventionally attractive human who becomes a Muppet at the end? (Maybe even Animal himself)
That would be the movie of all time.
Ratso - Baron harkonen.
Swedish chef - navigator.
Duncan Idaho -
gonzo.animal, but subtitled and call it battle speech and Jessica and Paul can go batshit like animal every time it comes up in storyOk lmfao that’s pretty good. Especially since the navigators are highly precise jobs.
Princess Irulan or Stilgar as the onlyhumamn main character.
Spicy monster.
This is the funniest thing I have seen all day! It’s early, but still.
I know the joke is supposed to be Dune but I’ve never seen Dune so all that came to mind was Beetlejuice
It’s the more accessible of the two, at least before the remakes. Everyone saw Beetlejuice. Only nerds watched the original Dune.

What am I if I read all of them then watched the original and the sci-fi series?
Dune may be probably the most accessible David Lynch film, but it is still a David Lynch film.
Tremors
Upvote for Tremors which has to be the best awful movie I’ve ever seen. Like, so bad it wraps around and becomes great.
There’s actually reams of writing about the original Tremors because it’s actually a really well-scripted and put together movie. There’s not a lot of “nothing happening” scenes. Most of the scenes are either always moving the plot forward or quickly developing the characters while moving the plot forward. There’s just enough breathing room for character development, but the film always keeps its pace. It’s just so tightly scripted and executed for a silly monster movie. It honestly should be mentioned more often alongside The Thing which is similarly tightly structured.
I was thinking about how an episode of Bob’s Burgers is able to have a convoluted but hole-free plot but hundred million dollar movies can’t. And it’s because the budget isn’t a hundred million dollars for Bob’s. So there isn’t a ton of producers trying to put their mark on a big movie they don’t understand at all. No directors being sent of to shoot inconsequential scenes while second unit shoots the stuff the goes into the movie. All that shit.
I absolutely fucking love tremors! It hit me at just the right age and I still love to throw it on every now and then. The second and third ones are pretty decent too. There is no fourth one so Im not sure why you are saying there is??
Graboids
Seems more like the origin of the plot from the Philip K Dick story turned movie, Screamers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screamers_(1995_film)

Mom: “we have Dune at home”
Dune at home:
Just walk without rhythm.
Is that a plot point in Dune?
Oh yeah. In brief; Chani, and other Fremen women, dance on the sand. The longer the time between repetition, the greater their mastery. The dance is a religious rite that changes over the thousands of years in the series.
Yes, and it’s in a Fatboy Slim song.
Normal walking attracts worms, to avoid worms avoid rhythm
ShAI Hulud!
Bless the Maker and His water.
My thread! Finally!
Congratulations, how does it feel
Competition from thinking machines is concerning, but happy for my Fremen.
You speak put against thinking machines yet you use Lemmy? Curious. ~Turning point Arrakis
