Just as she learns with the voice she hears, so do we in RS! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAxRAKBxI9sWhat's so amzing is how great this scene was, and what a proformance Linda Hunt gave at the end. Even my Extended Edition D U N E dvd cuts this scene in half! Kull Wahad DJO & RS! >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

SOW, It too is the prophecy! So rich in their metaphor all these pivital scenes. I just can't understand why a man like David Lynch, who's films often go on and on with complete absurdities then went on to do D U N E so well then chooses to hack all the dearest scenes to bits, cutting them all down to incomplete fractions! God, even Disney wouldn't do that to his cartoons that ran longer! How could he do that to Linda Hunt for krise sake, only another 40 seconds to complete the scene, but he cuts it in two! That instrument is based on something called the "Stick", it's dolled-up as a prop for D U N E, how fun it would be to have one. www.stick.com/>< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

Interesting instrument. I always believed that the movie should have been three hours. Years ago local tv ran the movie with the deleted scenes. I recorded it, but my nephew covered it with a bulls game. I was so pissed. The new directors digital remastered does not even have the fight where young Paul has to accept the widow and her two son's as his responsibility. They show how his water is given to Paul. They show young worms having the water of life being harvested, etc. The early speech to the guild by Jose Ferrar always makes me laugh. In two paragraphs he has to cover about 200 pages of material. I have a dvd that includes alot of deleted scenes. I believe Lynch was truly struggling with the editing. The released movie could have been great, but because of editing decisions, it was good. I am not lying to you when I tell you that when it was released, I drove 50 miles in a blizzard to see it. I was NOT disappointed. Just my opinion.

SOW, he deleted that for ball sports! Kull Wahad! It's an abomination! I would have used a phone booth size box on him, making him stick his whole body in! Now tell me again; what order should I read all the D U N E books in? I will begin to acquire them all a few at a time, but are there publishers or editions to be avoided that you know of? I was wondering if there would be an original art book about it too? That's so cool about the 50 mile trip in a snowstorm. >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!

Nah, those all be books! God, it was just three when I started them! LOL But there are the DVDs of the Sci-Fi channel's miniseries which are in two box sets of three disks apiece, and then the original 1984 movie variants by Lynch which is the most lush and romantic and dark. And some others that I never have seen at all, and I still have to get the Sci-fi channel "The Children of DUNE" set which I've never seen at all yet. HTH LOL >< Tomasina ChicaWolverina!
