In Dune Part One that was obviously done via CGI and not a prosthetic right? It seems obvious but I can't find that verified anywhere in the special features or other interviews.

Stephen McKinley Henderson, perhaps you could offer the hard confirm? For posterity. stands like guy with hands on his hips meme

Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a jacket that harvests drinking water directly from the air.

The voice coming from some made teen not something trained.

Half the sisters being religious zealots when their whole thing is twisting religion for their own goals.

Their need for a computer to organize their breeding program.

Just wanted to say wow

So far it feels like discount dune to me. Can def tell it’s Brian’s writing. The world feels too small too. It’s vaguely interesting to watch but they should have gotten better writers

I haven't read any confirmation, but the designs look way too similar to be coincidental.

It would also be fitting that the Bene Gesserit "Witches" should adopt such an implement to test their own subjects, lol.

Does anyone have a reading order which makes the most sense for someone who's never read or watched anything Dune? Thank you in advance!

I hope this isn't the case, but the timing of the movies is really good to get people into Dune. They'll need the books to fully understand the parallels though.

Hopefully Trump doesn't do the things we suspect he'll do based on what he's said, but, if he does, hopefully it's a moment humanity can learn from (again). Hopefully we come out of this and people stop trusting charismatic leaders. Dune may be more relevant than ever.

Not sure I totally agree with the article writer. But it provides food for thought.

Looks promising! Good cast!

I've watched all the YouTube videos and tiktoks about the spice and the guild navigators.. basically they're what exists instead of decision making computers.

But what do they actually do to operate the ship? Like they looked and saw some shit and now they have to do something about it.

Does the navigator have buttons and levers to configure the drive? Do they just speak words to some sort of helmsman about how to steer? Do they write out instructions? Is there some sort of telepathy or telekinesis the navigator does with the hardware?

Whenever I Google it I just find articles and videos about spice. What about SOP?
