Rewriting scenes in "Dune".
September 5, 2023 at 4:00 pm
Start with "House Atreides Accepts!" Then Leto turns to Paul and invites him to come stand next to him while he puts the seal on the Imperial Directive.
This is shown being projected on all the planets of the Empire.
The Baron is shown snarling at Leto and then his attention turns to Paul.
"That gorgeous boy!"
Piter has a strange look on his face.

Why can't Atreides and Harkonnens coexist on Dune? It's a planet so they can be there at the same time.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The forms of kanly, "vendetta in the old tongue", must be obeyed. "The Hatfields and McCoys go to space" as it were.

The Atreides accused a Harkonnen of cowardice at the Battle of Corrino, and the Harkonnens have been butthurt about it for generations.

Also, melange is a source of almost unimaginable wealth, which the Harkonnens aren’t willing to share.

I was just about to look up the battle, to get the name right.

If I may ask, what's so great about Dune.

Never read the book(s). Only saw the most recent movie with the gay thirst trap (not my type, by the way), but I suppose I just don't see a representation of the social issues I prefer.

I read it when it came out in paperback, ~1967. I rated it withStranger in a Strange Land. It's spawned dozens of books in the Duneverse. People either like it or hate it. This varies with how much one's mind is made up before starting to read it.

I read Dune in the mid 80s. A boyfriend was sure I would love it. I didn't. Remember almost nothing other than I had to force myself to finish the book.
