Nov. 23rd, 2007 08:24 pm[15:55] camwyn cwru: I think I've been licking Chinese toys again.
[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.
[15:59] xienhua: ....
[15:59] xienhua: *applause*
[16:00] camwyn cwru: Mrfghl.
[16:02] xienhua: Heh
[16:03] camwyn cwru: "It's got built-in slaughtered parents!" I remember thinking. "Or at least one, and you can usually get away with one living parent in a Disney movie!"
[16:03] xienhua: Hee
[16:06] camwyn cwru: Other people get gibbering eldritch blasphemous disintegrations int he fabric of reality when they have their SAN losses. Or they have the uncontrollable urge to go out and dismember the filthy and impure.
[16:06] camwyn cwru: I get capering dancing singing Fremen.
[16:06] camwyn cwru: There are kicklines.

Date: 2007-11-24 02:44 am (UTC)[20:58] camwyn cwru: It would be the only Disney movie with atomic bombs being used on screen.
[20:59] PandorasClst: That would put it up over Lilo and Stich
[20:59] PandorasClst: Oh, and don't forget the chorus line for the Third Stage Navigator's entrance
[21:00] camwyn cwru: As long as none of the sandworms are any more talkative than Rajah or Abu I'm good. The last thing I need is Shecky the talking sandworm.

OH GOD STITCH ON MELANGE.

Date: 2007-11-24 08:14 am (UTC)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. ;) )

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

Date: 2007-11-25 06:03 am (UTC)[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....

Date: 2007-11-26 11:34 am (UTC)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.
