Stephen Colbert interviews inventor Dean Kamen (best known for the Segway) to talk about his vapor compression distiller, a machine that takes contaminated water and turn it into pure drinking water without the use of filters or chemicals. Colbert tests the distiller by adding Doritos to the "contaminated water" container. http://www.seriouseats.com/required_eating/2008/03/in-videos-stephen-colbert-interviews-dean-kamen-on-the-colbert-report.html

30. What the fuck was that all about? |
|
Lynch basically took the description of "the voice" taking form in the air and the figurative "I can kill with a word" put them in a blender with a fifth of cheap Scotch and out came the weirding modules.
And how come the Fremen kept calling Mau'dib "Usul" with strangers around? And what was with the Baron's skin disease? Was it necessary to make him physically hideous to underscore his cartoonish evil? And Lynch really explained the whole first-Reban-then-Feyd thing didn't he?
And how about Stilgar saying, "That's what we call a big one." Really? Is it because it's big? Who the hell wrote the dialogue for that? Someone in the English-as-a-second-language class? "Our reverend mother is too old." Well, that's a nice way of putting it.

38. I don't know if the book ever really said whether they were bald or not. |
|
I gotta give Lynch a pass on that one - that's a legitimate director's choice for a novel-to-movie.
But the other shit - definitely Lynch took way too many liberties with the book, and gave us an odd movie.
If we could take the story-telling of the Sci-Fi Channel's version, but add the effects and acting ability of the Lynch version, we'd have a fucking great film.

16. I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. |
|
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. I, and that big sand worm that's about to---splat.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, The hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man--with human flesh. And that he knocked boots with your mom.

34. "I'll paint the Sietch tomorrow, Chani." |

Is it his prescience that tells him this? wondered Chani. Or will he spend the weekend once again lying in his underwear, sucking down spice chiclets, and watching Who Wants to be a Mentat?

I've hated this love affair since the beginning. No wonder my son, the Kwisatch Haderach! no less, is now so overweight he can only ride a worm if a Caryall takes him up. By the Catholic Orange Bible, he's like Orson Welles in sandy overalls.

I re-read it every 4 years or so. I have twice plowed through the entire Dune chronicle. Am I a glutton for punishment? Perhaps...
