Now I'm going to have to watch for the effects of the stillsuit on the fluffiness of Atreides hair when I watch the movie. I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed without y'all bringing it up!
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

I can see Chalamet being lightning-fast and agile in a knife duel, but if he has to move the knife slowly like in Lynch's Dune he's not going to be able to puncture a windbreaker with it, much less body armor or a stillsuit.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I checked the cast and didn't see the sister - Alia, right? - listed.
Aren't they doing it in two movies? So she'd be in the second one, I think.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Dune in all of its forms is one of the holes in my geek education.

Herding cats for fun
Pink Floyd! Oh yes. Should they change the lyrics to when The Sun is eclipsed by the Dune?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
A young man who used to work in my office had claimed to be a nerd, but when I said something about Dune he was clueless. He was VERY young.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh right, I'd forgotten about that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I remember the Lynch Dune, with a young and dishy Kyle MacLachlan. And Sting in a weird plastic speedo that looked like bird wings? Anyway, clearly my memory was not about anything related to groundbreaking (as it were) SF. I'm interested in the new one, and once movies are a thing again, I'll probably get the usuals together to watch it.

As I recall, Muad D'ib also refers to one of the moons of Arrakis, so "eclipsed by the moon" is arguably appropriate

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm pretty damn nerdy, but there's a lot of stuff out there to be nerdy about, and it would be pretty hard to be familiar with it all. Like, I never read LotR and don't plan on it, and although I saw the David Lynch movie of Dune, I really don't remember much about it. I'm still a nerd; my brain is just finite.
All that said, the cast of this Dune move is really fucking pretty, which I appreciate.
