[15:58] xienhua: What now?
[15:59] camwyn cwru: I lay down for a nap about twenty minutes ago. Never got there. Was getting very very close but right at the end of it, two words flickered through my head and that was the end of that.
[15:59] xienhua: And the brain damaging ones or the unconciousness-causing ones?
[15:59] camwyn cwru: "Disney's Dune." And OH GOD it came with images of the animated musical numbers.

A+++++ Would LOL again.

I wonder what the songs would be like. The one of Kaderatz (oh I can't spell it) has to be along the lines of Modern Major General

I'm having gigglefits here.

And Paul SO needs a talking little maker sidekick with big eyes, preferably voiced by Martin Short, but Dane Cook could be a good runner up.

...Save room on that handbasket for me, would ya?

See, I also had the 'Oh dear, please let them not have the talking misunderstood sandworm voiced by some comedian' thought.

Or rather, my first thought was 'but what would the talking anima... oh god, not the sandworm, not the sandworm'.

Mmm, Definitely Martin Short. I can't see Dane Cook in a disney film.

That would be interesting. Turn him loose in the Harkonen camp.

From: [identity profile] ebony14.livejournal.com
That would be very bad. As there is No Water on Arrakis, there is correspondingly No Coffee. To Hell with the Kwikmart Hatrack; the Harkonnens would get stomped by a little blue alien needing his caffeine fix.

SCENE: young PAUL in his quarters in the palace on CALADAN. CGI'd ornate wood everything, with fountains and running water everywhere. PAUL contemplates an image of Arrakis from space.

PAUL (voiceover): Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet.

Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet.

(A low drumbeat in the background, PAUL's musings begin to fall into its rhythm.)

PAUL: Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet.

Arrakis. Dune. Des-ert plan-et.

(A quiet chorus joins in.)

Arrakis. Dune. Des-ert plan-et.

Arrakis. Dune. Des-ert plan-et.

Arrakis. Dune. Des-ert plan-et!

Arrakis! Dune! Des-ert plan-et!

PAUL (over the continuing chorus):

I've lived on Caladan all my days
And grown to love its waterways
But now we're off to a sandy place
Where they cut off your hand if they don't like your face!

ALADDIN's voice, offscreen: Dude! Enough with the cultural slurs, okay?

PAUL stands up, does a shuffle out into the corridor. Through big bay windows, we can see... a water park?!

PAUL: They say that Dune's so hot and dry
The atmosphere can bake a pie.
Forget the pavement, I hear tell
An egg'll fry inside the shell!

(cut to PAUL riding a log flume)

And can I live on a world supplied
With not one single waterslide?

(That's all I got. Consider yourself lucky I couldn't wring anything out of the Litany Against Fear. ;) )

And Chani has a touching, romantic number. "Tell Me Of Your Homeworld, Usul."

And the princess's opening narration (http://youtube.com/watch?v=H8v31WWEO1Y) from the first movie should be a musical number as well. Because that is one of the great openings of all time.

Lesee:

I am a princess
heir to the throne
My dad rules, the universe known
Now know that is the year
ten thousand one ninety-one
The most precious thing known
Is the spice; Melange.
It can expand the miiiiiiiiind!
And extend life.
And it is vital for traveling IN SPACE


That's all I got

From a set of IMs spawned by me handing out the URL for this post:

[he] *twitch* Quite wrong.
[me] Yeah, the thought of Chani leading a kick line...
[he] Sand... Miles and miles and mailes of SANNNNDDD
[me] Are you thinking to the tune of "Miles and Miles of Texas?" "And when I looked into her all-blue eyes, this is what I saw: I saw miles and miles of sand dunes..."
[he] Oh, that works better. I was thinking a play on "You've Got To Have Heart."
[me] "You gotta have spiiiccce, tons and tons and tons of spice."
[he] "Kiss me Kate" mashup with "Dune"...hmmm....

Since I haven't actually read Dune (I got confused trying to read the graphic novel based on the movie), the full impact of the horror is lost to me. And I think I'm happier that way.

Massive, distant future space opera of epic proportions, with procephies, scary beasts, mutated humans, and overall, very serious, somber sort of thing.
