Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

To be fair, the desert is infested with giant killer worms.
Graboids!
(Sorry, had a Tremors flashback there...)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Graboids!
Yes! They should re-make Dune with Kevin Bacon, Michael Gross and Fred Ward!

As sandworms. Or possibly the Harkonnens.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wow, I've never seen an Anthony Minghella film (although I do want to see The Talented Mr. Ripley ), but damn.
In other news, I love Tremors.

Ya know political intrigue done right can be fascinating. And, as we've discussed in the past, you often have to break the letter to be true to the spirit. Drop the whole "we can't talk" thing. Yeah, I know, in the novel a major plot point.
Also you have to make it as a series of movies - a la Harry Potter - though I'm thinking of something more along the lines of the Tudors mini-sereis. Good political intrigue, made exciting by the fact that you never know when the intrigue will lead to bloody violence or really hot sex. The latter should happen more often in the movie than in the book. I think you could a fairly serious faithful to the spirit of Dune out of it that way - with added bonus popcorn, beefcake, and cheesecake. A sci-fi soap (which is part of what Dune was) Yes?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The latter should happen more often in the movie than in the book.
Ew! Sand everywhere!!

Indoors! You don't want to take off your stillsuit outdoors on Dune anyway. All fucking happens in the underground hideaways.
