Listen, “Sihaya” means “desert spring,” yes, but it’s not the water- bubbling-up-from-the-ground type of spring, it’s Spring the season, goddamnit!

Some good observations here. TL;DR It’s not that befriending the Fremen is a sort of vague strategic defensive move; he plans to use them to destroy the Harkonnens and maybe the Emperor too. The bit about Mohiam’s line and Leto’s plan is spot-on too.

If you’re seeing The Odyssey this weekend, remember that The Iliad, where Odysseus’ story begins, is the only Dune prequel worth reading. (Atreides = Sons of Atreus. Paul is canonically a direct descendent of Menelaus.)

I was a friend of Sam Neill. His performance in Dead Calm reminded me of my late father so much that I gave water to the dead the first time I saw it.

Having accidentally seen the new trailer for Part Three, all I can say is that there better a damned good reason why Chani can Sheeana a worm.

From the Sietch. Nice to see a meme that isn’t about the ongoing shitshow.

I don’t know about you, but I want to experience the first 7 minutes of Dune Part 3 in a cinema running directly into the rest of Dune Part 3, and not on YouTube accompanied by the clickbait “analysis” of some hack.

Dune is not political. Nor does it have any relevance to current affairs. Honest.

And just like that we fold space to Lebowski. The Sietch is on fire today.

The Sietch is having one of its periodic and transient crossover obsessions, this time with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. And it is glorious.

Frank Herbert deliberately keeps most things about the sandworms’ life-cycle and behaviour vague and implicit, but how do you think they move? By pulsing like a worm? By undulating like a snake? Something else?

This is a common thread through DV’s films, bringing together every element of cinema to make the world feel not just real, not just lived-in, but central to the story — whether it’s exotic Arrakis, the near-future LA and Vegas of BR2049, or the contemporary suburbia of Prisoners.

Someone has brewed up a One Page Rules game of Dune using Skullforge Studios’ barely-copyright-dodging miniature designs (link in comments) and it is glorious. More images in comments. May they forever dodge the inevitable cease-and-desists.
