Reply to comment by bigwebs in The 1984 Dune film makes a lot more sense if The Spice is referred to as Space Cocaine instead. by neoengel
I think he was talking about the idea when he was writing the book. In the end spice was the thing that was controlled and caused the other entities to fight, scheme, and bribe over.
Edit. It might also be that if the water was unleashed upon dune the spice would end? I've barely read past the original novel so maybe something deeper lol

Most live shows only have a 30 seconds delay to censor things like curse words or in case something goes wrong on stage. I don’t think those 30 seconds would make a difference

Interesting that he says the scarce water of dune is oil. Was that misspoken and meant to mean the scarcity of spice on dune is oil?

Eh, no, Alejandro Jodorowsky didn't get a chance. Google his drafts and ideas, that'd be mind blowing.
(there's trailer of sorts available on the imdb)

FYI I don’t think it really talks about how navigation works until the second or third book.

Exactly. Spice was really just a logistics enabler with the pleasant side effects of enhancing human performance.

Yeah it's a long explanation, but in my opinion the first one is misleading. Cause the spice doesn't give you super powers it changes your body making you smarter to the point where you can see patterns you normally wouldn't and predict the future. That's why i think saying it is a drug describes effectively what it is

They don't forget, they just don't care, or the money is within the range they are willing to pay.

Depends on the SUV. My explorer isn't that bad compared the same year minivans. I still get about 16 city.

Nooo you shouldn't write this kind of ideas on the internet. Now I'm going to write and publish a book about this wich is going to become a movie.
I might put your username in the credits tho.

Wanting to use less words and not over explain things? Obviously someone's not on enough cocaine

You mean cable or satellite tv? Wait till you find out about the radio.

Years and years of celibate soccer club membership.
My stamp collecting club never seemed to enjoy getting groovy either, and flat out rejected my suggestion of Lingerie Night.

Thanks for sharing that quote. I loved reading the dune series. Like many other novel series, that later books that take deep dives into characters are awesome.
